Everyone ate and talked, and the topic gradually extended from sports cooperation to Saudi Arabia's customs, culture and traditions.
Cristiano Ronaldo showed great interest in Saudi Arabia's traditional dance. He asked Prince Abdul Faisal about some characteristics of the dance and the cultural meaning behind it. The prince introduced it enthusiastically and invited several dancers to the banquet hall to perform for everyone. The dancers, dressed in bright traditional costumes, began to dance to the cheerful rhythm of music. Their steps were light and flexible, their body twists were rhythmic, and the ribbons in their hands drew beautiful arcs in the air, showing the charm of Saudi Arabia's traditional dance to the fullest. Everyone was attracted by the wonderful performance. They put down their tableware and watched attentively, applauding the dancers from time to time.

The next morning, the sun was shining outside the magnificent building of Riyadh Airlines headquarters. Club Chairman Rowley, CEO Ed Woodward, Partner Sales DirectorSupervisor John Annabell (female), Commercial Director George Adrian, and player representatives such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani, Raphael Varane, David De Gea, and Harry Maguire arrived as scheduled. Riyadh Airlines CEO Tony Douglas personally led the executive team and greeted them warmly at the door early. The scene was both grand and warm.
As soon as they met, Tony Douglas walked quickly towards Chairman Rowley with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and shook it tightly, and said in a loud voice: "Chairman Rowley, I've been waiting for you. Today our aviation headquarters will be glorious. I believe you will have an unforgettable visit experience." Rowley also responded quickly, smiling and saying: "Mr. Tony, you are too polite. We can't wait to learn more about the charm of Riyadh Airlines."
Then, the two sides introduced their respective team members to each other and shook hands one by one. When the player representatives were introduced, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic. Tony Douglas looked at these football stars with admiration in his eyes and said, "Your names are so well-known. I didn't expect to see you here today. It's a great honor." The players also responded politely with humble and friendly smiles on their faces.
After entering the headquarters building and coming to the eye-catching aviation theme display area, the interaction among the people became more frequent. Tony Douglas stood in front of a super-large jet model and was about to introduce its features. Cristiano Ronaldo came over first. His eyes flashed with curiosity. He bent down slightly and carefully looked at the wing part of the model, muttering: "The design of this wing is so unique. It must make the plane fly fast and stable." Tony Douglas smiled and looked at Cristiano Ronaldo and said: "Mr. Ronaldo, you are very careful. This wing adopts the latest aerodynamic design, which can greatly improve the flight performance." Cristiano Ronaldo stood up and asked with interest: "Then when it takes off and lands, does it also require high operating requirements for the pilot?" Tony Douglas nodded and praised: "You are right. Takeoff and landing are the key links, but our pilots have been strictly trained and can fully control it." The two of them communicated with each other, as if they had forgotten that there were other people around them. The people around them were also attracted by their conversation and gathered around to listen.
Edinson Cavani was attracted by the area displaying airline meals. He pulled Harry Maguire over and looked at the exquisite airplane meal samples. He exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Wow, Maguire, the meals on this plane look much richer than the nutritious meals in our team. I wonder how they taste." Maguire smiled and replied: "Haha, Cavani, why don't we ask the staff, maybe we can try it." As they said that, they walked towards the staff next to them, and Edinson Cavani asked expectantly: "Hello, these airplane meals look It's so tempting. Does it taste as good as it looks? "The staff smiled and replied, "Sir, our airplane meals are carefully prepared according to the taste requirements of different passengers. They taste very good. If you like, you can try this snack." Edinson Cavani picked up a piece without hesitation and tasted it. Then he gave a thumbs up and said loudly, "Well, it's delicious. If you can eat such delicious food on the plane, the journey will be more pleasant." His loud voice made many people around laugh, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became relaxed and joyful.
Continue walking along the corridor and arriving at the command and control center of Riyadh Airlines, the large screens with various data flashing on the wall and the busy scene of the staff made everyone unconsciously slow down their steps and quiet down. But Edinson Cavani couldn't hold back his curiosity. He whispered to Cristiano Ronaldo beside him: "Cristiano, look, this is like our preparation room before the game. Everyone is concentrating. But their task is much more difficult than ours. They are in charge of so many planes." Cristiano Ronaldo gently patted Cavani's shoulder and responded in a low voice: "Yes, so this requires a higher degree of professionalism and concentration. We must always maintain this state on the court."
At this moment, a staff member of the command and control center noticed the players. He was a football fan. Seeing so many football superstars in front of him, he was so excited that his face turned red. After hesitating for a while, he still plucked up the courage to walk to Cristiano Ronaldo.In front of Ronaldo, he stammered, "Mr. Ronaldo, I... I am your super fan. I didn't expect to see you here. Can you sign for me?" Cristiano Ronaldo was stunned at first, then showed his signature warm smile and said, "Of course, thank you for your support." Then he took the paper and pen handed by the staff and signed his name in a chic manner. Seeing this scene, other staff members also gathered around to ask for autographs and take photos. The originally slightly serious command and control center suddenly became lively, and the players also kindly met everyone's requirements, and the scene was full of laughter.
After visiting various areas, everyone came to the staff rest area to take a break. Everyone sat together, drinking drinks, and continued to exchange their feelings about this visit. Club President Luo Lie said with emotion: "Today's visit is really fruitful, especially seeing the players interacting so well with friends from Riyadh Airways, and understanding the aviation industry from different perspectives. I believe it will be a lot of inspiration for the future development of our club."
The player representatives also nodded in agreement. Cristiano Ronaldo said: "Yes, I learned a lot of new things today, and I also felt the professionalism and rigor of Riyadh Airways. When we play football in the future, we must also integrate this spirit into it." Other players also echoed, sharing their most impressive moments of interaction one by one. The entire rest area was filled with a harmonious and warm atmosphere, as if this visit was not just a simple visit, but also built a bridge for communication and mutual learning.
