Since Kengo Oishi reportedly abused his position of authority by skipping a crucial government meeting to see Cristiano Ronaldo play, many in Japan are calling for his resignation. The governor of Nagasaki Prefecture is receiving harsh backlash from his home base when it was revealed that on June 25, he attended Paris Saint-Germain’s friendly versus Al Nassr in Osaka.
Sportskeeda claims that the governor of Nagasaki paid cash for the ticket. However, the prefectural administration paid for his lodging and transportation. Following the revelation of the information, incensed residents are now demanding that Kengo Oishi resign from his post for the crime.
However, he has also garnered support from others who assert that he was merely advancing Nagasaki in his official capacity. At the post-match gathering, Oishi was there with Ronaldo. Oishi invited Al Nassr forward for a meeting, but the star never heard back from him.
Ronaldo achieves a new high with Al Nassr
As Al-Nassr defeated Al-Riyadh 4-1, Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his 1,200th professional match by scoring one goal and providing an assist for Al-Nassr. The 38-year-old finished off a cross from Sadio Mane, then set up fellow player Otavio. Talisca then scored twice to give the Arab Cup winners an easy victory.
After Al Nassr’s 3-0 loss in the previous week against Al-Hilal (44 points), the gap between the teams went to seven points apart, with Al Hilal topping the league. The hosts’ first defeat in all competitions since August came at the hands of Al Nassr against Al Hilal.
When he played for Portugal against Iceland in June, he became the first male player to reach 200 international appearances. With 128 goals, he leads all international goal scorers.
With 16 goals this season, Ronaldo leads the league and Al Nassr in scoring. Georges-Kevin N’Koudou, who plays for Damac FC, is ranked second on the list with 13 goals.
For over ten years, the Portuguese sensation and the Argentine maestro have ruled the football world, taking home every major prize and team trophy. Although both players have broken and set severalย records, there is still disagreement among football fans, commentators, and celebrities over the tag ofย theย greatest of all time.
