Cristiano Ronaldo created a fever in the hearts of the Chinese fan community and it immediately exploded when he set foot at the airport in this country.

On the evening of January 21 (local time), Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr landed at Shenzhen airport, China. CR7 and his teammates will play two friendly matches in this country against Shanghai Than Hoa and Zhejiang Club on January 24 and 28, respectively.

And as expected, as soon as Ronaldo appeared, the whole airport was in chaos. There were many fans waiting at the airport’s walkway and the crowd immediately broke out when they saw CR7 step out.

The security team had to operate at full capacity, straining to create barriers to prevent the crowd from causing chaos and affecting Ronaldo and his teammates.

According to sources on the scene, fans were present in large numbers more than 5 hours before Ronaldo and the Al Nassr delegation arrived at Shenzhen airport. They gathered, cheered, chanted CR7’s name and performed his trademark Siuu celebration together.

Responding to the feelings of his fans, right after arriving at the airport, Ronaldo sent them a warm message: “As you know, almost every year I go to China and we receive a warm welcome from Asian people, especially the Chinese. So thank you very much and we hope to see you again on the field soon, thank you.”

The fever called Ronaldo actually started before he set foot in China. According to this country’s press, the number of tourists coming to Shenzhen has increased nine times since it was confirmed that Al Nassr would come to their country to tour.
