Fans Troll Al Nassr as Ronaldo’s Teammate Counts His Own Players During Inter Milan Friendly

• Al-Nassr ended their Japan tour with a draw versus Inter Milan
• Cristiano Ronaldo's team are winless in their last five matches
• A highlight of Al-Nassr's tie with Inter has left fans in stitches

One of Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr teammates has provided football fans with a moment of laughter, all because of his seemingly innocent act during a pre-season friendly against Inter Milan.

The Saudi Pro League runners-up of the 2022/23 season were concluding their Japan tour in a match that ended in a 1-1 draw.

Despite not securing a victory on their tour, the positive result was overshadowed by a lighthearted incident involving Abdulmajeed Al-Sulaiheem, one of Ronaldo's teammates.

In a video circulating on Twitter, the 29-year-old can be seen looking perplexed by Inter's skillful ball retention. He then begins counting his teammates, perhaps to ensure they were not playing at a numerical disadvantage.

Despite the playful jests, it is evident the camaraderie and fun spirit within the team are alive and well, making moments like these memorable for both players and fans alike.
