During the exhibition match between Al-Alamy and Farense, the two players were not included in the starting lineup for either team. Al-Alamy won the match 5-1. Anderson Talisca earned a brace of goals for his team during their play in Portugal, one of which was an outstanding free-kick goal.

In the midst of the club’s ongoing efforts to restructure themselves under the direction of their new manager Luis Castro, Ronaldo has just recently reported for duty at the training camp. Even though he did not play in the game, the player who has won the Ballon d’Or five times did talk to fans after the match was over.

Brozovic, meantime, has just completed his transfer from Inter Milan to Al-Nassr on a contract that is worth €18 million over three years.

In the upcoming preseason friendly that Al-Nassr will play against Celta Vigo in Japan, Ronaldo and Brozovic are expected to get some playing time.

New Al-Nassr boss Luis Castro spoke about Cristiano Ronaldo’s presence in team

Following a trophy-less season last season, Al-Nassr have named Luis Castro as their new manager. The 61-year-old Portuguese coach was most recently in charge of Brazilian club Botafogo.

Following his appointment, Castro discussed his intentions and plans to lead Al-Alamy to glory during the 2023-24 season. He also mentioned having Cristiano Ronaldo among his teammates. According to him (through Record Portugal):

“We are in a construction process. The team is waiting for some units to be completed. The first sensations are good, with the players very available for work. It is normal at this stage of the season. The conditions are great to develop the work.”

Castro went on to say about having Ronaldo on the team:

“We are happy to have the best players in history with us. It is always a reason to be happy to have the opportunity to work with him and he is an inspiration to many of our colleagues on a daily basis. It is a responsibility for all of us to fight to achieve our goals and he is clearly the reference of the team.”

In his first half season with the Riyadh-based club, Ronaldo scored 14 goals and made three assists in 19 appearances across all competitions. He joined the club in January of this year after leaving Manchester United in November of 2022.
