In the Riyadh derby in the 25th round of the Saudi league, Riyadh won a 2-0 defeat to Riyadh Crescent, with six league rounds remaining, and the hope of winning the title was reduced. After the match, Riyadh Crescent fans shouted Messi's name to Ronaldo, who left the stadium, and Ronaldo directly touched his crotch, which caused great controversy and was even called for expulsion. So is Ronaldo's behavior really that bad?
The first thing you need to know is that Ronaldo's behavior of touching his crotch occurs in the Muslim month of Ramadan, a period of pure heart, introspection, and one of the most important festivals of Islam.
At present, Ronaldo has committed such actions in public, and the relevant lawsuit has been submitted to the Saudi authorities.
Ayman Rifai, former chairman of the Disciplinary Committee of the Saudi Football Association, said that according to Article 48 of the disciplinary regulations, Ronaldo's behavior is classified as misconduct, and he will be suspended for two games and fined 20,000 rials, equivalent to 37,000 yuan. As for someone linking Ronaldo's behavior to the bad incident of Hassan Keita, who was expelled from the Saudi league, it is not correct.
Coming to the Saudi League, unlike England or Spain, the local culture is also very different, and Ronaldo needs to adapt while receiving a high salary. For example, the previous Ronaldo and his lover Georgina were not married but lived together, which is a violation of Saudi law, Saudi law does not allow unmarried men and women to live together and have children, but the official explanation is that foreigners are not restrained, and even considered to be a bit of a special matter. This time, such an act during Ramadan sparked condemnation.
The voice of the riyadh victory is also different, and the director of Riyadh Victory said that Ronaldo's action was explained as he was just touching the injured part near the groin: "Ronaldo was just injured, he hit the sensitive part when he fought against the opponent player during the game. "But it is clear that the position of Ronaldo's touch is not to touch the groin, but to the crotch.
Former Saudi player Faisal publicly denounced Cristiano Ronaldo's actions, saying: "Saudi United is in jeopardy in the face of this shameful behavior, Saudi United is ambitious to increase global influence, and the introduction of international superstars is to increase the excitement of the league, not to bring shameful behavior." ”
Ronaldo's behavior of touching his crotch needs to be viewed from a series of external conditions such as special environment and local Saudi Arabia. At the level of public opinion, it is clear that in response to Ronaldo's behavior, the voices of the outside world are different, some support and some opposition, and according to the relevant lawsuit has been submitted, Ronaldo is likely to be suspended + fined.
