In the fourth round of the Saudi league, Riyadh won a 4-0 home victory over Yadh Juniors, Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo once again directed a big victory, not only contributed 2 goals and 1 assist, but also took the initiative to give up the opportunity to wear a hat. Now, Ronaldo is at the top of the league scorers list with five goals in the last two rounds.
In this game, Ronaldo's goal and desire to win were very strong, after scoring 2 penalties in the first half, he also assisted Mane's goal, and in the second half he had the opportunity to complete the penalty hat-trick, but took the initiative to give the main penalty to Ghalib, very generous, and finally the teammate did not score. In addition, Ronaldo also hit the post with a header, and the whole game was crazy to steal the camera, and was named the best player with 9.1 points.
According to statistics, Ronaldo has played 10 games in all competitions this season, has scored 11 goals, and achieved the feat of scoring goals in 19 consecutive seasons, while scoring 30 goals in all competitions since 2023, it is also 30+ goals for 16 consecutive years, and the football goalscorer list is second only to Haaland, who has scored 31 goals, compared with the age gap between the two, reflecting Ronaldo's worthy title of super goalscorer.
In January, Ronaldo left Manchester United to officially land in the Saudi League to join Riyadh Victory, so all goals in 2023 have been scored for Riyadh Victory, and he has scored 30 goals in 29 appearances, plus 5 assists.
Such a striker was abandoned by manager Ten Hag and ruthlessly driven away by Manchester United.
Last season, Ronaldo's form declined, Ten Hag continued to let Portuguese superstars substitute, giving the starting opportunity is also to make him ugly, Manchester United senior management only supported Ten Hag's decision, did not pay attention to the team's star, and finally Ronaldo left in anger, and publicly bombarded Manchester United and Ten Hag in an interview, and the relationship between the two sides was directly frozen.
Ronaldo came to the Saudi League, enjoying the highest annual salary of 200 million euros in football, and scored constantly, Manchester United replaced him with Weghorst, resulting in 2 goals and 3 assists in 31 games, while Hoylen and Martial did not replace Ronaldo's role well.
Entering the new season, Manchester United currently has no major moves in the transfer market, and the forward position still relies on players such as Rashford, Anthony, Ghana, Martial and Sancho, which is still slightly inferior to Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool.
