- Al-Bishi says Ronaldo’s focus on records is hurting Al-Nassr.
- Ronaldo urged to retire to protect his football legacy.
- Calls grow for Ronaldo to step down amid fading form.
Al-Nassr legend Fahad Al-Bishi has urged Cristiano Ronaldo to think about hanging up his boots.
Al-Bishi argues that the Portuguese superstar’s recent displays have revolved more around hitting personal landmarks than driving team victories, and that it might be time for him to bow out gracefully.
Al-Bishi: Ronaldo Putting Records Before Team Success
Al-Bishi was candid in his chat with Koora, accusing Ronaldo of being overly preoccupied with his own accolades.

He feels this mindset has hampered Al-Nassr’s results in several crucial fixtures.
> “Ronaldo only cares about his statistics, not Al-Nassr,” Al-Bishi told Koora, as reported by VN Express. “He’s broken many records, yes, but those missed chances have cost us points.”
Missed Chances and Frustration on the Field
Pointing to occasions where Ronaldo failed to capitalise on clear scoring opportunities, Al-Bishi suggested that the striker’s waning physical prowess is becoming more evident.
The veteran noted that Ronaldo’s visible irritation particularly towards team-mates—hints at a player who may no longer be at his peak.
> “I admire Ronaldo, but he should think seriously about retirement. He’s done so much for football, but age catches up with everyone. I saw him frustrated with his teammates—he needs to do better with his own chances,” Al-Bishi added.
A Legacy Worth Safeguarding
While Al-Bishi’s remarks were sharp, he also paid tribute to Ronaldo’s storied career and vast list of achievements.

He stressed, however, that stepping aside now would help protect the brilliant legacy Ronaldo has built.
> “It’s the right time. Retiring now would help Ronaldo preserve the great legacy he has created,” Al-Bishi advised.
Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr Chapter to Date
Ronaldo signed for Al-Nassr in 2022 after leaving Manchester United.
Since then, he’s raised the profile of the Saudi league but has only added the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup to his trophy haul.
Despite his influence, Al-Nassr have fallen short in domestic contests, leading some critics to wonder if Ronaldo’s presence has become more of a hindrance than a help.
What Lies Ahead for CR7?
As debate rages over Ronaldo’s next move, opinions remain divided.
Some supporters insist he still has plenty to offer, but voices like Al-Bishi’s believe it’s time for the icon to step down with dignity.
Whether Ronaldo decides to heed this advice or press on, one thing is clear: his status as a football great is assured—but safeguarding that reputation may demand a tough choice.
Final Thoughts
Cristiano Ronaldo will forever be remembered as one of football’s all-time greats.
Yet every sporting legend must eventually confront the end of their playing days.
Al-Bishi’s comments may sting for many fans, but they reflect the inevitable reality every athlete faces.
Do you think it’s time for Ronaldo to retire or does he still have more to give on the pitch?
