No one thought that Ronaldo's elbow blow to Riyadh crescent player Blaich would cause such a big chain reaction. Just now, according to the latest news brought by the Saudi media Clarion Sport, the official disciplinary committee of the Saudi league has now made a decision, in addition to severely punishing Ronaldo's elbow incident, they also asked the Portuguese star to come forward to explain it. I have to say that Ronaldo is also in trouble.
Generally speaking, when a player receives a red card for irrational behavior on the pitch, it is the practice of the Saudi league for the disciplinary committee to punish him appropriately. Often, it is a two-game ban, and then a symbolic penalty of tens of thousands of riyals is hastily done. Some time ago, Ronaldo was banned for two games and fined 20,000 riyals because of his indecent behavior on the field, I thought that this elbow incident would have the same result, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. After reviewing the referee's report submitted by the referee on duty after the match, the disciplinary committee found that the incident was very bad. This has affected the image of the Saudi league, so they want to take the matter seriously.
Even if the protagonist of the incident is Ronaldo, it cannot be avoided, according to the Clarion Sports newspaper, the Saudi League Disciplinary Committee believes that Ronaldo's elbow is of a bad nature. Especially since he, as the league's top star, should not have made such a move. This kind of hasty behavior has angered the disciplinary committee, and they must demand an explanation from Ronaldo, otherwise the punishment will be more severe. In a way, this is a warning to the Portuguese star, and the relationship between the two sides is very strained.
Objectively speaking, a player of Ronaldo's level, even if he accepts official disciplinary punishment, will not be too heavy. After all, his football status is there, and the official will give him more or less face. But this time, it didn't give Ronaldo face at all, but there was a feeling of wanting to make things bigger, and I have to say that it was still unexpected by many fans. It depends on how Ronaldo responds next. Riyadh Victory FC had previously tried to appeal for him, but with the disciplinary committee taking such a tough stance, the matter should end with Ronaldo accepting the punishment.
To some extent, Ronaldo did not do a good job in emotional management after joining the Saudi league. After joining such a low-level league at the end of his career, Ronaldo should normally have no desire. It doesn't matter if you don't win the championship, or if you often lose some key battles. After all, the honor here will not have any impact on his historical status, and winning a few more titles in Saudi Arabia will not make Ronaldo move up a few places in the historical rankings. It doesn't matter if he doesn't win the championship, but Ronaldo's strong competitive spirit makes him unable to accept it calmly.
Especially against Riyadh Crescent, Ronaldo's emotional outbursts have increased significantly. So far, Ronaldo has faced Riyadh Crescent three times in official matches since joining the Saudi league, but it is difficult to find a win. And Ronaldo's individual performance is also terrible, not scoring in three games. It is worth mentioning that most of the controversial moves Ronaldo made in the Saudi league came from the Riyadh Crescent match. Last season's rear-naked choke in the league, and wiping private parts with scarves thrown by Crescent fans, etc. It can be said that as long as he plays against the new moon, Ronaldo's temper is a little uncontrollable.
Perhaps the Portuguese star felt that this was a very strong opponent, and if he lost, his pride might not be acceptable, which is normal according to his temper in the past. At present, the official disciplinary committee has sent a special person to conduct a detailed investigation into Ronaldo's elbow incident, and then the league official will reissue the punishment decision. Now, the penalties should be a bit harsher than in the past, and the number of bans may increase. For Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, he really needs to calm down. What do you think about this?
