There is no doubt that Ronaldo is the eternal king of Portuguese football. As long as he is on the team, any impossible will become possible.
Portugal participated in the World Cup 6 times in total. In 1966, under the leadership of , facing North Korea in the quarter-finals, Eusibio scored 4 goals in a row when the team was behind 0-3, helping the team complete the reversal 5-3 and advance to the semi-finals. Helping Portugal defeat the Soviet Union to win third place, this is also the best result in the history of the Portuguese army.
In the next 20 years, Portugal has not been able to enter the World Cup finals again. After being eliminated in the 1986 World Cup group stage, the Golden Generation of Portugal missed three consecutive World Cups. However, after entering the new century, Portugal has not missed any World Cup. In the 2004 European Cup and the World Cup two years later, the two generations of Figo and Ronaldo led Portugal forward. Then, Ronaldo became the new leader of Portugal. In South Africa, Portugal was eliminated by Spain. In 2014, they won the German team in a group, and the group was eliminated.
2016 European Cup in France, a group of trustworthy teammates appeared beside Ronaldo. It is precisely because of this that Portugal was able to withstand the French offensive and win the European championship while the captain was sadly retreating. Moreover, Portugal's performance in the of the World Cup qualifiers in Russia was perfect, with an excellent record of nine wins and one loss. Santos' strong offensive helped Portugal complete the first qualifying in the group, and Ronaldo also scored 15 goals second only to Lewandows.
In the Portuguese team, Ronaldo is naturally the most shining superstar in Portugal. Five Golden Globes, four big ears, and one European Cup trophy. From the fancy "Little Ronaldo" of the Red Devils to the terrifying frontline killer of the Galaxy Warships, Ronaldo's greatness is no longer described in words. Now, the 33-year-old Ronaldo still maintains an excellent competitive state and is still the most timid opponent of the defenders.
However, for Portugal's opponents, the most dangerous thing is to underestimate the threat of other Portugal players under the brilliance of Ronaldo. Now, this Portugal team can no longer use "just stare at Ronaldo to death", such a simple and crude way to restrict it. Although he is 35 years old, he still has the world's top defensive strength.
organization core Bernardo Silva, after Manchester City's tempering has made him able to bear the opportunity to connect midfield after Ronaldo has grown old. Silva is also the core of Portugal's organization in the World Cup qualifiers. Behind him is the protection of William Carvalho . Portugal will make people know that they are not just Ronaldo. Gomez, Silva, and Nani will cause a headache for Spain, Morocco and Iran.
Group B For Portugal, the most important thing Ronaldo needs to do is to lead Portugal to revenge Spain. In South Africa, Portugal led by Ronaldo faced the powerful Bullfighter Army and was almost unresisting and was scored 1-0 by Spain, controlling the game to the end of the game. This time, Ronaldo and his teammates, who were still in their peak period, will continue their years of struggle with the club's teammates and opponents.
After winning the European Championship in 2016, Ronaldo's honor room was only one Hercules Cup waiting to be filled, but this may be the last World Cup journey for the Portuguese superstar. Ronaldo is still striving for the last holy grail in his heart. This time, can Portugal realize his dream?
