Al-Harifi: I do not hope that Ronaldo will play in the Al-Ittihad match
Fahd Al-Harifi, the former Al-Nasr star, confirmed that he does not wish for Cristiano Ronaldo to play in Al-Ittihad’s next league match.
Al-Nasr is preparing to face Al-Ittihad in the 13th round of the Saudi League next Friday.
Al-Harifi said in statements to the “Sports Scoop” program: “Al-Nasr is facing a strong and important Clásico match against Al-Ittihad. I hope that the team does not play with the same methodology that it showed today against Al-Sadd of Qatar.” .
He added: “It is true that Al-Ittihad is dangerous offensively, but it has spaces in defence, which means that players like Sadio Mane and Gabriel Angelo can shine.” I do not hope to see Ronaldo and Anderson Talisca, especially since it is an away match.”
Al-Ittihad leads the league table with 33 points.
