Cristiano Ronaldo, who was injured during the Al Nassr match, apologised to the Chinese fans a few days ago for having to postpone the friendlies as he was made to travel by regular bus after the event.

The Knights of Najd were made to go with a regular boss, therefore it appears that the public has not accepted the apology. It goes without saying that the update became popular on social media and caused criticism of the 38-year-old and his group, according to Essentially Sports.

There is no denying that the organisers are incredibly frustrated. Let's examine how the Portuguese star's China tour came to an unfavourable conclusion.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr had special arrangements prepared for their travel to China by supporters and organisers. However, all they received was a rescheduled tour rather than watching their idol play. 

Instead of using the customary tour bus that is supplied for visiting teams, the organisers provided the Knights of Najd with an ordinary bus to transport them to the airport as they left the country. In addition to appreciating the gesture, social media users made fun of Cristiano Ronaldo and his team for not participating in the friendly and fulfilling their end of the bargain.

Even with the annoyances and the trolls, there's a good chance Al Nassr will come back to the United States. Recently, a journalist from Saudi Arabia observed that the tour was rescheduled for September 30 on the ticketing platform. 

Additionally, Cristiano Ronaldo has pledged that the team will visit the nation in the future. Therefore, it appears that a return this year is imminent.
