Abdullah said, 'Ronaldo really wants to convert to Islam. I talked to him about it and he showed interest in it. He has prostrated on the field after scoring a goal and he always encourages players to offer namaz and follow Islamic religious rituals. When Ronaldo prostrated on the field after scoring the goal, all the players chanted 'Allahu Akbar' together.

Abdullah said Ronaldo has taken a keen interest in local culture, especially Islam and its practices, so he can better respect and understand his Muslim teammates. Abdullah told, 'When the sound of Azaan comes during practice, Ronaldo asks the coach to stop the session until the Azaan is over.
