Ronaldo Defends João Félix, Calls Podcast Critics ‘Idiots’ in Instagram Post Later Deleted

Ronaldo’s intervention highlights his growing influence at Al Nassr.

Overview

  • Ronaldo replied under a Chuveirinho podcast clip on Instagram that questioned João Félix’s Saudi move, writing that “idiots don’t understand anything about football.”
  • The Instagram comment was later removed, according to the reports.
  • Félix joined Al Nassr from Chelsea in the summer on a two-year deal for a reported £45 million.
  • He has scored four goals in five appearances for Al Nassr, including a league‑debut hat‑trick against Al Taawoun, and he also netted a brace for Portugal in a 5-0 win over Armenia this month.
  • Félix has said Ronaldo encouraged him to make the switch, and Ronaldo recently signed a two‑year extension after prolific seasons that included successive Saudi Pro League golden boots.
