Cristiano Ronaldo's surprising advice to Abdulaziz Al-Aliwa

Abdulaziz Al-Aliwa, a player for Al-Kholood, shared a lighthearted story from his time at Al-Nassr, when he trained alongside Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

The young footballer revealed that Ronaldo advised him to get a shorter haircut, even showing him an old photo of himself in a Real Madrid jersey as an example to follow.

Taking the legend's advice to heart, Al-Aliwa decided to change his hairstyle. He sent a photo of his new look to Ronaldo via Instagram, receiving a positive reaction in return—a smile and a gesture of approval.

Al-Aliwa named best young player for February

The 22-year-old also explained that his current experience with Al-Kholood has boosted his confidence. Since the start of the season, he has played 23 matches, scoring three goals and providing one assist.

Speaking about his trademark goal celebration—a backflip—Al-Aliwa admitted his mother always worries about the risk of injury. Nevertheless, he remains devoted to the celebration, which he has performed since the beginning of his football career.

It's worth noting that the former Al-Nassr player was voted best young player of February in the Saudi Pro League.
