Ever since Cristiano Ronaldo joined Ainas, his performance has been on the rise, but recently he suffered a so-called "down period". In their last 2 league matches, Ainas fell behind their rivals by 5 points, and a 0-1 defeat to Al Aweida in the King's Cup in the early hours of Tuesday morning (25th) has raised questions about Crom's performance. An emotional Crown was caught venting his frustration in front of the coaching staff during the half-time break.
Facing a weakened Aveda, Ainas unexpectedly fell behind 0-1 in the first half of their Top 4 home game. At the end of the half, Cron turned away from the field disgruntled, and as he walked to the sidelines, he faced the coaching staff with his hands agitatedly spread out as if complaining about the tactical deployment. In the second half, Crown earned a red card for Ainas in the 55th minute, but despite playing with an extra man, the team failed to score and eventually lost 0-1.
Ainas has been in poor form recently, with 1 draw and 2 losses in their last 3 matches. The team has yet to find a new coach after the sacking of coach Rudy Garcia, and is currently being represented by U19 coach Shelly Sik on an interim basis. If this situation doesn't improve, Cron may struggle to even touch a title in their first season in Saudi Arabia.
