The video was to promote ‘Kickoff’ by Zuju, a free to play football game available on smartphones.

Ronaldo had multiple shots at mastering the word but was unable to hold himself together and burst into laughter every time he said the word wrongly.

But after plenty of practice and finally ridding himself of his laughter, the Al Nassr star finally got it right.

It appears Ronaldo’s move to the Middle East has not affected his commercial value with the 38-year-old the face of a host of brands across the world.

The star forward made a shock move to the Saudi Pro League in January after mutually cutting short his second spell at Manchester United.

Despite much scepticism over the move, Ronaldo went on the net 14 goals in 16 appearances for his new club.

But his heroics were not enough to land the Saudi Pro league title, as Al Nassr came off second best to Al Ittihad in a closely-fought title race.
