Cristiano Ronaldo U-turn made by Al-Nassr boss after ex-Man United ace's four-goal haul

Al-Nassr head coach Rudi Garcia now believes that Cristiano Ronaldo's teammates have "realised what he wanted" after just a fortnight ago stressing the importance of them playing "normally" and not always attempting to give the ball to their star signing.

Ronaldo scored all four goals in Thursday night's 4-0 win over Mecca-based side Al-Wehda and, in the process, put together a 61st hat-trick, meaning that he has now scored more hat-tricks after turning 30 than he did during his teens and 20s combined. After the match Garcia described it as a "good night" for the player.

The 58-year-old also said: “Ronaldo has reached a great stage of homogeneity and harmony with his teammates. Over time, his teammates realised what he wanted and when he will score.”
