He helps to pack out venues, with new Al-Nassr coach Jesus telling reporters on the back of seeing CR7 net a hat-trick in a 4-0 friendly win over Rio Ave: "He's a phenomenon. You saw that this stadium was packed because of him. If he weren't here, no one would be here. He's a devil not only here, but also abroad, it's something I didn't realize what he means to the youth. And then he continues in the game. He doesn't need many opportunities to score. If he touches the ball three times, close to the goal, he scores two. Today, he scored three."
