Further praising Cristiano Ronaldo, he stated – “He is making goals, making assists. I’m not strised that the physical dimension is very good”.

He thinks that would “empower” their star Portugal player.
Luis Castro then moved on to the second question of CR7 reaching 1000 goals in his career. He inflicted – “The way he (Ronaldo) feeds, prepares, moisturizes, recovers…is a unique opportunity to show the youngest that things happen when there is care”. From the words of Al-Nassr’s head coach, it can be inferred that he truly believes that CR7 has what it takes to achieve the milestone of scoring 1000 goals.
Luis Castro on if Cristiano Ronaldo is cloaking him at Al-Nassr
The Al-Nassr manager Luis Castro was reportedly asked about CR7 being cloaking him and his presence at the Saudi Pro League club. However, the manager was quick to turn away such rumors. He expressed his thoughts regarding the matter very cautiously.
Luis stated – “Cristiano is not that person”. He progressively inflicted – “I’m not even that person who loses the leadership of the dressing room”. “Cristiano plays the role of a leader very well, and I also want to play the role of a coach very well”, obliterating earlier rumors the coach from Portugal opined.
