Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr teammate Luis Gustavo admits the superstar's presence has made things 'difficult' for his colleagues but insists the Portuguese record-breaker brings lots of 'advantages'

Cristiano Ronaldo's lacklustre start in Saudi Arabia appears to have hit another 'difficult' bump according to the comments of his Al-Nassr teammate Luis Gustavo.

Ronaldo's record arrival in the Middle East has seen him struggle to get off the mark, with the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star scoring just one goal since moving to his new club.

An outspoken Gustavo has admitted that the Portuguese international has made things 'difficult' for him and his colleagues and believes other competing clubs are targeting the team because of Ronaldo's presence.

'Certainly, the presence of Cristiano makes it difficult for us, as all teams seek to participate against him in the best possible way, and he gives motivation to everyone,' Gustavo told RT Arabic.
