Ronaldo and Al Nassr barge Hannover out of pre-season training camp

H96 have been dealt some unfortunate temporary consequences for sharing a hotel with the Saudi club, according to Sky Germany.

On Sunday evening, the Hannover 96 squad arrived at their training camp in Saalfelden, Austria. 

The following Monday morning, coach Christian Titz’s team completed their first training session on the pitch at the Hotel Gut Brandlhof.

However, the arrival of Saudi club Al-Nassr with superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, also staying at the hotel complex, has caused some difficulties.

The pitch on the hotel complex is set to be spared for Ronaldo and his teammates’ use as Hannover are forced to move away.

Instead, the Lower Saxons will complete their training sessions on the pitch of the local sports high school.

“But that’s not a problem. The conditions are very good. The pitch is in very, very good condition,” said new coach Titz.
