A 9-0 victory, but no Ronaldo, Pioli made an urgent statement: Ronaldo is needed in the subsequent game

In the 31st round of the Saudi League, Riyadh won the Victory challenged Arkodo. In this game, Ronaldo did not go with the team, but Riyadh won the Victory Dedicated a hearty goal battle, a 9-0 carnival, but no Ronaldo. Pioli also spoke out urgently after the game, explaining why he did not let Ronaldo be on the roster. What did the Riyadh win coach say? Let's listen together!

Before this game, in addition to Ronaldo's absence, there were two important news:

One was that Saudi United took the lead in the 31st round, defeating Feha 3-0, and led Saudi United by 9 points with one more game, which also made Riyadh win lose the final theoretical opportunity to win the championship! Ronaldo was also determined to miss any championship this season;

victory is Riyadh. Although he will continue to fight for the AFC Champions League, Saudi host Alshenaif broke out loud news, saying that if he finally ranked third in the league, Riyadh's victory will refuse to participate in next season's AFC Champions League second league, which immediately caused a huge wave! Saudi United has three rounds left, and Riyadh is temporarily ranked third and 5 points behind the New Moon. Because Jeddah Nationals, who is fifth, won the AFC Champions League championship this season, Riyadh will miss the qualification for the AFC Champions League next season if he wins third. If he wants to go straight to the elite competition, he must squeeze out the Riyadh New Moon. The difficulty can be imagined. What is embarrassing is that if Cardicia defeats Jeddah in the final of the Saudi Cup and wins the championship, even if Riyadh wins third, he will not have to play in the AFC Champions League, so there will be no voluntary withdrawal.

Back to the 9-0 game of this game, Riyadh won 60 points and ranked fifth in the league; Arkodo ranked second to last in 28 points, and after winning, Riyadh won will rise to third! The win was 9 goals, Mane's senior high school match Duran, Yehaiya and Duran scored 2 goals in 4 minutes, and Brozovic also scored a goal! Such a goal feast did not have the team's first scorer, Ronaldo. Ronaldo played 39 games for Riyadh in various competitions this season, winning 33 goals and 4 assists! Saudi United's latest scorer list, Ronaldo leads the lead with 23 goals, and Benzema has also scored 21 goals!

Regarding Ronaldo's absence, Pioli quickly explained: "Royce was muscle fatigue, so we chose to let him rest and save his state for subsequent games." Asked why Laporte was absent and felt that "it doesn't matter" Pioli gave another answer: "Please ask me about the situation of the players participating in this game." It is a sharp contrast! After all, Ronaldo was not a player in this game, but Pioli had made a detailed explanation before, and the reporter was helpless.

Finally, Pioli emphasized that the reason why Ronaldo is resting is to protect him. After all, the opponent in this game is the team in the relegation zone. Pioli said that in order to keep Ronaldo in shape, it is for the more critical games in the future. Pioli still needs Ronaldo in the key games! Ronaldo has won 7 league championships in 23 seasons in his current career, but the last time he won the league championship was when he was at Juventus in 2019-2020. Leaving Juventus, from Manchester United to Riyadh to win, Ronaldo's championship number also dropped sharply.

Royce's arrival has brought great influence to the Saudi league, but Riyadh victory did not meet expectations in the competition for the championship. Ronaldo's current contract expires this summer. Media revealed that the Portuguese superstar has reached an agreement with Riyadh Victory management on a new contract, and the two parties will renew their contract for two years! Pioli's annual salary in Riyadh is much higher than his salary in Milan (4 million euros), reaching 10 million euros, but due to poor record, he faces dismissal this summer.
