On June 27, Portugal ushered in the final group game of the European Championship, and the 39-year-old Ronaldo started the game, but his performance was very poor. In the 65th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted, and then he went crazy as he left the pitch.
In the first two rounds of the group stage, Ronaldo started and performed well, but unfortunately failed to score. In this game, Portugal, which has already locked the top spot in the group, continues to let Ronaldo start, and the purpose is self-evident, that is, to let Ronaldo score in the group stage.
In this campaign, Ronaldo worked the field, but the years were not forgiving, and his shooting and form were much lower than when he was young. He had three shots on goal but only one on target and missed one great chance, touching the ball 17 times and conceding six. In the 65th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted. As for the reason for Martinez's substitution, no one knows for sure.
The media gave Ronaldo a rating of 6.2 points, the second from the bottom of the game! Cristiano Ronaldo's score was just a little higher than that of team-mate Antonio Silva, who made two low-level mistakes in the game, causing his team to concede two goals in a row.
In the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo had a controversial penalty that was not awarded, which made him completely angry. In the 28th minute, Portugal attacked in front of the field, crossed from the side, and Ronaldo was ready to grab the ball in the middle, but he was pulled down by the opponent. Slow motion shows that the opponent has a very obvious action of tugging on Ronaldo's jersey. However, the referee did not indicate it!
Cristiano Ronaldo was furious. He made a gesture to the referee to pull his jersey and protested. For this, he himself was booked.
At half-time, Ronaldo was still angry. When he reached the players' tunnel, he complained to the staff on the sidelines, constantly pulling on his shirt and signaling that the referee should not not award a penalty.
And when he was substituted in the 65th minute, Ronaldo's inner universe completely exploded. He was not willing to leave the scene so early. Walking to the bench, he kicked the turf and vented all his frustration for the night.
Ronaldo's depression includes his depression about his sluggish state, his depression about the referee's ignorance of penalties, and his depression about the manager's early substitution......
In the 3 group games, Ronaldo did not score anything, which was also the first time he scored zero goals in the group stage in the national team competition, and the miracle of 18 years was ended. Anyone else will be depressed.
