In the early morning of the 11th Beijing time, after losing to Morocco 0-1 in the quarter-finals, the Portuguese team went home early. For the 37-year-old C Ronaldo , his fifth World Cup journey came to an abrupt end, leaving all regrets.
C Ronaldo's world is "sad"
2006 Germany World Cup records the entire process of Crostiano Ronaldo, who was still called "Little Ronaldo" at the time, for the first time. When he became famous at a young age, he experienced the success of Manchester United and won consecutive opportunities to participate in European Cup and World Cup. But at that time, Ronaldo, who was still wearing the No. 17 jersey, could only follow the big brothers of the Golden Generation of Portugal to experience the World Cup. But Ronaldo is not an ordinary person after all. It only took less than one World Cup cycle from a star to a top star to a superstar. When he played for the second World Cup in 2010, he had already given honors at that time, but he did not make too many achievements in that World Cup.
The next two World Cups are bitter for Ronaldo. Although he has long been the captain of the Portuguese team and has experienced countless big scenes, on the World Cup stage, the Portuguese team's performance is always far from the outside world's expectations. In addition to his debut in the 2006 World Cup, Ronaldo only played 4 games in each of the three World Cups in the next three World Cups. In 2014, he even went home after the group stage, and was in no shape.
bid farewell to the World Cup
Therefore, as a successful superstar, Ronaldo naturally hopes to make a breakthrough in his last World Cup journey. In fact, the Portuguese team also has this strength. Compared with the past, the Portuguese team that came to Qatar this time is strong, with big-name stars on all lines. The outstanding performance in the previous four games also makes people believe that they are one of the most powerful contenders for the championship. Therefore, even if Ronaldo is on the bench, the outside world still believes that there is no problem for them to advance to the semi-finals. But many people have ignored the cruelty of the World Cup knockout stage, especially when it comes to the quarterfinals. Who dares to say that they can definitely win?
In this World Cup, Ronaldo actually pays more attention than Messi and . The reason is not difficult to understand. In addition to the strength of Portugal, it is also because of the previous disputes between Ronaldo and Manchester United. As the World Cup progressed, he and his old club completely broke up. In the national team, Ronaldo gradually changed from being the main player to a substitute. In the 1/8 final, he could still watch his teammates help him win a victory. In the quarter-finals, he could only watch his opponents create miracles on them, as he came on as a substitute in the 51st minute.
In fact, before this game, Ronaldo had the opportunity to set many records. The first goal in the personal World Cup knockout stage, tied with Eusepio to tie the 9th World Cup goal in Portugal. These goal records were missed after the last 90 minutes of the game. Ronaldo also regretfully bid farewell to the pursuit journey of Hercules Cup . Ronaldo has participated in 5 World Cups in total and scored goals in all 5 games, scoring 8 goals and 2 assists in 22 games he appeared in.
When the referee blew the final whistle, Ronaldo walked towards the lounge without looking back. He kept crying along the way, and the road seemed extremely long. He is almost impossible for him to participate in the next World Cup, with 22 appearances fixed at 24 games, and Messi has 2 World Cup games to play. Ronaldo is unable to turn the tables in the best battle in history with Messi.
