Ronaldo netted scored 14 goals in 16 games for Al Nassr, who finished the season three points behind Pro League champions Al-Ittihad.

“Well, my expectation was a little bit different, to be honest I expected to win something this year, but it is not always the way we think or the way we want, sometimes we need passion, consistency, and persistence to achieve the best things,” Ronaldo said, as per Daily Mail.

“So, I still believe that next year we will improve a lot, let us say in the last five or six months, the team has improved a lot, even the league, all the teams improved.

“It takes time sometimes, but if you believe and you think it is your goal, I think everything is possible. 

“I expected to win something this year, but we didn’t, but next year I am really positive and confident that things will change, and we go in a better way. So, let us believe that and work on that.”
