Cristiano Ronaldo was seduced by Saudi Arabian football and a few million. The reports indicate that CR7 signed for Al Nassr for more than $200 million dollars a year. The economic benefit of Portuguese is gigantic, but in the popular FIFA 23 video game he was “punished”.
The departure of CR7 from Manchester United was quite surprising, but even more surprising was his fate in Arab football. The Portuguese attacker has been questioned by some media for having made the decision to abandon his career in the Old Continent. The EA Sports company would not have liked this movement by Cristiano Ronaldo either and they expressed it with their statistics.
The “Bug” was for many years one of the best players in the video game. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were valued for many years with an average above 90. But at 37 years of age and his departure from the soccer elite, CR7 lowered its valuation.
The decline in Cristiano Ronaldo’s statistics
The overall average in the “Bug” stat is now 88. The prestigious franchise decided to reduce points to CR7 in the following lines: dribbling (3 points), acceleration (2 points), reaction ability (3 points), finishing (1 point) and stamina (4 points).
Since FIFA 11, Cristiano Ronaldo does not have a general average lower than 90. Although this may be a minor fact for some, video game lovers they are main spectators of the decline in physical condition and the valuation of the former legend of Real Madrid and world football.
