The decision for Al Nassr to spend 200 million dollars on Cristiano Ronaldo in order to gain more Instagram followers instead of focusing on winning trophies and scoring goals is a questionable one.
The club’s recent performance in the Saudi Super Cup, where they were eliminated by Al-Ittihad with a score of 3-1, only solidifies this point.
Despite a late comeback attempt by Al Nassr, with Talisca scoring a goal in the 67th minute, they were unable to secure the win and progress to the final.
Furthermore, Ronaldo, one of the most successful and well-known players in the world, has yet to score in his two appearances for the club. This raises the question of whether the acquisition of Ronaldo was truly worth the massive investment, especially when considering the club’s lack of success on the field.
In today’s world of social media, it’s no secret that having a big name player can bring a significant boost in followers and attention.
However, it’s important for organizations to remember that the ultimate goal should always be success on the field. Spending such a large sum of money for the sole purpose of gaining social media attention is a short-sighted and potentially detrimental decision for any club.
