For this generation of Portuguese players led by C Ronaldo , this World Cup is their last chance to launch an attack on this supreme honor. The two veterans, Ronaldo, are 37 years old and Pepe, have experienced the ups and downs of the Five Shield Legion over the past ten years, and relatively unexpectedly shared the ecstasy of reaching the top of Europe six years ago.
From a superstar who assisted the golden generation back then to an absolute core who supported the overall situation alone, to a spiritual leader who is now like a decisive needle, in his long national team career, Ronaldo can always find the best way to help the team. This is also the fifth time that the 37-year-old Ronaldo has gone to the World Cup, but his first four memories are quite bitter.
16 years ago, 21-year-old Ronaldo stepped onto the World Cup for the first time, and at that time he was already a popular young actor in the Portuguese team. In the group stage against Iran, Ronaldo scored his first goal in his personal World Cup, which was also his only goal in that event. In the quarter-finals, Ronaldo crossed England led by Manchester United Manchester United teammate Rooney and helped the team reach the semi-finals. In the end, Portugal was eliminated by France and ranked fourth, which was also Portugal's best record since he won the third place in the World Cup in 1966. Ronaldo's first World Cup journey was satisfactory enough.
Four years later, before the start of the South African World Cup, Ronaldo experienced a long national team drought. He failed to score a goal for the team throughout the qualifiers. However, in the three group stages, Ronaldo has performed well and was named the best player on the spot three times. In a 7-0 victory over North Korea, Ronaldo finally broke the goal drought of 16 months in the national team. Unfortunately, in the quarter-finals, Portugal met the final champion Spain, and Ronaldo failed to break through the goal guarded by his club teammate Cassi .
The memory of in the 2014 Brazil World Cup is even more unbearable to look back on. Although he just won the 10th championship of Champions League with Real Madrid , he was troubled by a knee injury and Ronaldo's health was not in his best state during the World Cup. In the first match of Germany in the group, Portugal No. 7 insisted on playing the whole game, but was unable to stop the team from losing four goals. In the second game between the United States, Ronaldo assisted his teammates to tie the score in the injury time, retaining hope of qualifying. In the last game of the group stage, Portugal was eliminated with a goal difference despite defeating Ghana 2:1. Ronaldo scored the 50th goal of the individual national team in the game, becoming the first player in Portugal's history to score goals in three World Cups, but such data and performance are obviously not enough for CR7.
And Russia in 2018 can be regarded as the best World Cup in Ronaldo so far. During the qualifiers, Ronaldo was fully fired, scoring a total of 15 goals, second only to Lewandowski , which scored 16 goals in the European scorer list. At the same time, this also brought his total number of goals in the World Cup qualifiers to 29, surpassing Shevchenko to become the European historical scorer.
's first match against Spain's Iberia derby, Ronaldo staged a shocking hat trick, leading the team to draw a strong enemy. In the second game, he won a small victory in , Morocco , Ronaldo scored a header at the beginning, and Portugal won a small victory with one goal, taking the initiative. In the last round of the group stage, Portugal drew with Iran and advanced to the second place in the group.
Unfortunately, facing the knockout round, facing the first place in Group A, Uruguay , Uruguay , and Portugal stopped moving forward.
At that time, the central defender combination of Godin and Jimenez was impeccable, and Suarez and Cavani 's forward partner were top in the world in terms of fame and efficiency. Although there is more than one midfield destruction and insufficient construction, Torreira and Bentankur can also be said to be able to attack and defend. A Uruguay team like has high tactical literacy and a strong style of play. Even though it has never been a favorite to win the championship, it is definitely something that no opponent wants to encounter.
C Ronaldo is still isolated in the frontcourt and does not play much under Uruguay's strict siege, especially Torreira's defense is bloodless. At the end of the game, Portugal lost 1:2.
This World Cup is the most powerful year for Portugal's book lineup. In addition to the injured Jota , the elite soldiers and generals of various wealthy families are all out, and the offensive end is also gathering heroes, with B Se, Leo and Felix shining together. In the last two major competitions, coach Santos failed to make a group of offensive players collided with their pragmatic tactics to create sparks. This cup match should be his last chance to prove himself.
Once upon a time, Ronaldo was the lower limit of Portugal. In his goals game, Portugal maintained a dazzling 82% winning rate, and Manchester United scored goals for the country for 19 years in 19 years. But now the "CR7" whose physical functions and ejaculation have declined sharply is difficult to continue to play the savior in Qatar.
The "interview gate" before the game caused another uproar, pushing the first person in Portugal's football history to the forefront. Once you fail, you will fall into an abyss that will never be restored.
But as a fan, I want to say that no matter what the outcome is, this is Ronaldo's last World Cup. Whether we can win the championship or not, we should at least understand: it will be difficult for us to find another Ronaldo for a long time. He led Portugal to win the European Cup championship and has never missed the World Cup. He still retains the hope of competing for Hercules Cup .
The most brilliant stroke in the history of Portuguese football was written by him and will eventually be immortal.
6-22 years, it was finally his last dance, so no matter what the result is, enjoy it.
