The Portuguese international instigated disorder the previous week when the preseason tour of China was canceled by the Saudi Arabian team due to Ronaldo’s injury, which rendered him unable to play.Inter Miami’s presence in the Middle East has stoked mounting concerns that the Herons’ match against Al-Nassr could be ruined if Ronaldo remains sidelined with an injury.The 38-year-old striker is expected to return to Al-Nassr training in the coming days, according to AS. Ronaldo, meanwhile, is anxious to face Inter Miami.Given Lionel Messi’s impending arrival in Saudi Arabia, it is possible that his match against Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr will be the last time these two soccer titans collide.

Cristiano Ronaldo ought to occupy the least mental space of Inter Miami.While the international media and sports enthusiasts will be preoccupied with Messi’s final confrontation with Ronaldo, the coaches and staff of Inter Miami should not even consider this narrative.

 

The Herons have scored zero goals thus far in the preseason, and Facundo Farias’ year-long injury could render Martino’s tactical vision for Inter Miami null and void.

 

In addition, prior to this phase of the tour in Saudi Arabia, the Argentine coach will prioritize drilling his squad and elevating their skill levels.

 

Indeed, considering the caliber of talent that the Saudi titans possess, a victory against Al-Nassr would be quite remarkable, and Mesis and company should be eager to demonstrate their capabilities.
