Official stance from Al-Nassr coach regarding Ronaldo readiness

Amid ongoing sports developments, Al-Nassr head coach Ange Postecoglou made important statements on Sunday regarding Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, aiming to assess his overall condition following recent challenges and controversies he faced with his national team during the international break. Explaining the situation during a press conference ahead of the anticipated match against Uzbekistan's Neftchi in the second round of the AFC Champions League, Postecoglou stated that the team captain is in excellent physical and mental shape. He noted that Ronaldo played the full previous match and scored a goal, confirming he suffers from no issues affecting his performance. The remarks followed Al-Nassr's 3-0 victory over Al-Diriyah on Friday, a match where Ronaldo scored, bringing his career tally to 980 goals. These developments come amid an ongoing dispute between Ronaldo and Portugal coach Jorge Jesus regarding international participation, while the Portuguese FA works to contain the crisis following disciplinary proceedings and a provisional suspension over his departure from the national camp.
