Al Nassr’s new boss Stefano Pioli is not hellbent on playing Cristiano Ronaldo in every other game. In a move to save the veteran’s energy for bigger clashes, Pioli is ready to go to battle without the skipper, especially when it’s a non-Saudi League game. Pioli had rested Ronaldo in the King Cup of Champions game against Al Wehda. Now, another non-SPL tie awaits the Knights of Najd, as they play Qatar’s Al Rayyan in the AFC Champions League Elite group stage today. So, does that mean the Italian boss will again mull over resting the former Real Madrid and Manchester United megastar?
