‘Cristiano Ronaldo makes it difficult for us,’ says Al Nassr teammate Luiz Gustavo

The Hindu  

Luiz Gustavo, the Al Nassr player, said the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo has made it difficult for him and his teammates as their opponents feel motivated to prove themselves against the Portuguese great. Since moving to the Middle East from Manchester United, Ronaldo managed only one goal, from a penalty, in three outings for Al Nassr, who is currently on a level with Al Shabab and Al Ittihad but leading the points table due to a better goal difference. However, Gustavo admitted that the 38-year-old former Real Madrid striker’s presence in the team gives Al Nassr a ‘huge advantage’. “His presence at Al-Nassr gives a great advantage to the group because we learn from him everyday, given the great capabilities he possesses, both technically and physically,” said 35-year-old Gustavo, who played for Bayern Munich and Marseille before joining Al Nassr.
