Unlike in the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE), Cristiano Ronaldo may rarely be seen in the Asian Champions League (ACL).
Middle East media outlet Kura shed light on Ronaldo's situation on the 17th (Korea time), saying, `The reason Ronaldo missed the team training ahead of the match against Estegral.'
Kura said: "'Alnasr's captain, Ronaldo, did not participate in training sessions ahead of the ACL2 match. He failed to participate in training as Jorge Jesus decided to rest him. Jesus is concerned about injury given his age. Also, my goal this season is to win the league. Jesus has previously said he will not rely on Ronaldo in ACL2 and will give other players a chance to play.

Ronaldo's team, Alnasr, will participate in ACL2, not ACLE, unlike last season. Despite finishing the season in third place last season, Al Ahli, ranked fifth in the league, won the ACLE title, heading to AC2, not ACLE. Al Nasr was in Group D with Al Jawara (Iraq), Istiklol (Tazikistan), and FC Goa (India).
Ronaldo, who has consistently appeared in ACLE last season, but it seems difficult to expect such a performance this season. As Jesus decided to play Ronaldo mainly in the league, other players in ACL2 are more likely to receive opportunities instead of Ronaldo.
Ronaldo can also be denied entry under contract. According to Fox Sports in the U.S., Ronaldo is not obligated to play in away games. In other words, he may not play enough in away games during ACL2 games according to his will. Considering the annual salary he receives, it is more than a player. Ronaldo is being treated extremely well in Saudi Arabia, including a total salary of £178 million. It is known that he has even taken over his stake in the club. In fact, it looks like the emperor of Alnathr.

Meanwhile, unlike Ronaldo, Son Heung-min, who recently moved to the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), is devoted to the team in every game despite his hard schedule. Son Heung-min became the best star at the same time as his transfer to MLS, and numerous fans are visiting LA FC's game to see Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is putting his all into the game for those fans. In the previous match against San Jose EarthQuake, there was a prospect that the starting player could fail considering the aftermath of the A match, but Son Heung-min started and played 80 minutes.
Messi, who is playing in the same league, is also playing consistently except for injury variables. As the success of the game depends on whether Messi plays or not, the league is also watching Messi play steadily. It contrasts somewhat with Ronaldo, who enjoys emperor soccer in Saudi Arabia.
