Don't miss it! 38-year-old Ronaldo's 8th trip to China, these highlights are worth your on-site support
In the first month of 2024, Chinese fans will have two football feasts on their doorstep.
World superstar Cristiano Ronaldo will visit China again this month and will face two giants of the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua and Zhejiang, at the Shenzhen Universiade Center Stadium on the 24th and 28th.
Cristiano Ronaldo's visit to China and these two matchups will surely cause a sensation among Chinese fans again.
01, Ronaldo is worthy of GOAT: At the age of 38, he still won the "Scorer of the Year" + led the Saudi Arabian United double list
As one of the "peerless duo" in football, the 38-year-old Ronaldo has always maintained an excellent competitive condition. In the past 2023, Ronaldo scored 54 goals, beating Harry Kane, Mbappe and Haaland, and won the title of world goalscorer of the year for the fifth time in his career. Not only that, Ronaldo also leads the scorer list and assist list in this year's Saudi league.
The 38-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo has once again proved that as a legendary superstar, he is still one of the best goalscorers in football today. With such a hot state, Ronaldo's visit to China this time will definitely bring a very exciting, even explosive performance to Chinese fans on the field.
02, Ronaldo has once again recruited the Chinese Super League after 13 years, and has left countless classics in China 7 times before
As one of the most friendly stars in football, Ronaldo has been to China seven times before. From 2005 to 2019, each one has caused a sensation and left countless classic moments.
In 2005, Ronaldo, who was still immature at the time, followed Manchester United to China and climbed the Tiananmen Tower. In 2018, Ronaldo came to China in his personal name, and he even showed off in front of the Forbidden City. Not only that, but he also exchanged jerseys with international players such as Wu Lei and Wang Dalei. This time, he chose to meet Chinese fans in Shenzhen, and he will surely create a new "famous scene".
It is worth noting that this is also Ronaldo's second time playing against a Chinese Super League team after 13 years. In 2011, Ronaldo followed Real Madrid to Guangzhou and played against Evergrande at its peak, which caused fans to watch the game. In that game, Ronaldo repaid the support of the fans who came to watch the game with a stunning back-heel assist and a back-heel goal. This time, he played against two Chinese Super League teams again, and it is worth paying attention to what kind of excitement he will play.
This may be Ronaldo's last visit to China as a player
This Riyadh victory trip to China has another layer of special significance. This may be the 38-year-old Ronaldo's last time to play in China as a player, which undoubtedly gives Ronaldo's visit to China a more unique significance.
This may also be the last chance for Chinese fans to make a "SIUUUUU" signature celebration at the scene after Ronaldo scored a goal in a China tour. The vast number of Chinese Luo Mi should definitely not miss such a moment, and must actively go to the scene to help.
04, star-studded! Ronaldo led many big names to China, and the Chinese Super League 2 team seriously prepared to play with all its might
A good game naturally requires excellent teammates and opponents. In addition to Ronaldo, the lineup of Riyadh's victory in China this time can be described as star-studded. Cristiano Ronaldo, Aymeric Laporte, Talisca, Ospina and Telles are all well-known stars to Chinese fans, and Starlight has not lost to a European giant.
According to previous domestic media reports, the two Chinese Super League teams of Zhejiang and Shanghai Shenhua also chose to assemble in advance and prepare seriously. Obviously, both Chinese Super League teams regard the matchup with Riyadh as a key battle, and the fans who go to the scene are blessed!
05, humanized golden time starts! Tickets are coaxed to grab seconds + hotel bookings have soared
The organizers of this Riyadh Victory China Tour are also very humane, arranging the two matches at 19:30 on Wednesday and Sunday. Everyone can watch the game calmly and happily after work, and it is the world football superstar who plays, and this splashing wealth is finally the turn of our Chinese fans.
Such a great opportunity to attend the game was bound to spark a craze, and pre-sale tickets for both matches quickly sold out after the ticket opened on December 25, 2023. After the official opening of tickets on January 3, it was also sold out again, and it is now hard to find a ticket, which once again proves Ronaldo's strong appeal.
In addition, the competition venue, Shenzhen Universiade Center Stadium, has also become the hottest accommodation business district in Shenzhen, and the number of hotel accommodation bookings nearby has also risen wildly. Many hotel businesses in Shenzhen have also significantly felt Ronaldo's "star effect". It has been less than 3 weeks since Ronaldo came to China, and it is time for China's vast number of "Luo Mi" to take action!
