Former Saudi Football Association director "Royce did not win the championship but did not attract fans"! Is this view too harsh?

Sheikhri, the media director of the Saudi Football Association and now a reporter and commentator, updated his personal social media earlier, talking about Ronaldo, who said, "This is a practically proven and digitally verified fact. Ronaldo did not win the championship and did not attract fans." I want to say that as an objective commentator, this Saudi commentator has a bit too harsh in Ronaldo's evaluation. Objectively speaking, Ronaldo has definitely greatly increased and helped the attention to Saudi football. Of course, the contribution of this other superstar cannot be ignored.

Logically speaking, a superstar-level person went to a league that did not pay much attention to, so it would definitely increase its influence on this league. At least Ronaldo arrived in Saudi Arabia to play football and made many people know about the Saudi league and became interested in it. In addition, it is very important that it attracted topics on the Internet. When he joined the first year, the traffic and attention brought by Ronaldo was quite amazing. Ronaldo's team is actually very good at marketing! The annual marketing expenses are not in vain, right? There is a lot of voice on the Internet, but as the Saudi commentator said, there are not many fans who have attracted the scene. This means that Ronaldo has not made enough contributions to the team's box office and cannot attract people who come to watch the game on site! The team is now completely losing money and making a lot of money.

After all, Ronaldo's decline may be a bit big now. His performance on the court is not attractive enough. Gradually, everyone will definitely not recognize it. Especially the Saudis who spent a lot of money feel less and less recognized it. It is just a pure pancake striker who is playing football on the spot, which is really uninteresting. There is no breakthrough, no dribbling, no exaggeration, no organization and assists. It is just an ordinary frontcourt pancake striker. It is indeed not particularly attractive. To be honest, some of Ronaldo's fans are actually not fans at all! I just followed the trend and took Ronaldo to chase stars as a popular culture. Some so-called Ronaldo fans do not watch the game, and at most they read a news title after the game. If they write about goals, they go and check out the highlights, and then forward a few things like SiU online, as if they show that they are more fashionable and keep up with the trend.

But in fact, this is all due to traffic, and it is not the behavior of fans at all. Under normal circumstances, Ronaldo does not touch many goals in a game. If you are really a fan, you want to persevere and see Ronaldo play a complete ball, it is really difficult! But if you want to say that Ronaldo has not brought attention, I don’t agree. Ronaldo has brought a lot of traffic outside the court. Putting aside the football itself and whether to win the championship, Ronaldo has indeed helped Riyadh win to gain current popularity and a certain popularity. As an objective commentator, I “support” Ronaldo this time and don’t be too harsh on a 40-year-old veteran.

C Ronaldo may perform well in the 2026 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup, and slapped the Saudi so-called commentator in the face. Ronaldo was invited by Saudi Arabia for a lot of money. There is no need to use it and then go out to say such things, right? I think we should still recognize the value of Ronaldo, so do you agree with this Saudi media person’s view that Ronaldo did not bring a championship or attracted fans?
