Beijing time on July 2, 2024. A penalty shootout, a heart-wrenching game, finally made Euro 2024 start what it should be: full of passion, full of energy, emotional, and moving! - When France beat Belgium with an own goal in a monotonous 1-0 and made people drowsy. Portugal drew 0-0 with Slovenia, but it was a 3-0 penalty kick, which made all fans shout: This is football! Even if you stay up late + dark circles.
It was a football match with all the elements, and fans who watched it can compare it to Euro 2000 Italy vs Netherlands, because that game had a penalty saved by Santo Toldo, which continues to this day: a Portuguese man named Diogo Costa, who also saved three penalties.
Fans can compare it to Euro 2016 final, because Cristiano Ronaldo had tears in his eyes during that game, and he couldn't hold on anymore after being injured by France's Payet. A dancing butterfly flew over to soothe his sorrows. Then, his teammates scored for him and they celebrated the victory together. - Cristiano Ronaldo also cried in the early hours of this morning, he had a penalty opportunity in the 105th minute, but it was saved by Oblak. At that moment, Ronaldo's heart was about to break.
Ronaldo was in tears, and similarly, Ronaldo's mother in the stands was also so anxious that she almost cried.
In the 115th minute, Ronaldo may have a lifelong regret: teammate Pepe was too tired, he was tackled, and the Slovenian player had a single chance, just an easy push, and it was Portugal that was eliminated. - However, goalkeeper Costa made a single save, he saved himself, saved Portugal, saved his big brother Cristiano Ronaldo!
Born to die! On the verge of desperation! Ronaldo himself has experienced this kind of picture countless times. However, in club competitions, even if Ronaldo encounters such a situation, he will not have a "moving" picture. - Only in the national team, for the honor of the country, Ronaldo's expression is always as: I want to do my best for the country!
This time, Ronaldo was once again given a chance to redeem himself, and he did not miss it. In the penalty shootout, Ronaldo was the first to stand in front of the penalty spot, run, get up, and the ball was almost saved by Oblak again - but this time Ronaldo scored. And the first time he chosen, he chose to fold his hands: apologize to the fans in the stands! What a sense of responsibility.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was born on February 5, 1985, is 39 years and 147 days old today, playing 120 minutes, is in a calm mood, in an uplifting mood, and then the mood falls to the bottom, and finally in the mood to fly to the rainbow day! - When looking at his little brother, Costa, the goalkeeper from Porto, saved 3 penalties in a row in the penalty shootout - the corners of Ronaldo's eyes were filled with crystal tears!
There is a video on the Internet where a tour guide who travels to Portugal will jokingly say: Remember, when you come to Portugal, when someone asks you who is the best player, you must say: Cristiano Ronaldo! - Yes, full name: Cristiano Ronaldo! It's a name that Portugal is proud of.
And Ronaldo, for Portugal, bravely went all out: the silver medal in 2004, the two bad results in 2008 and 2012, and the hard support. In 2016, it stood at the top of Europe, and in 2020, it fell into a trough again. But in 2024, they: Ronaldo, Costa, Pepe, as well as B seats and B fees, are interpreting the spirit of Portugal: the spirit of great sailing + the spirit of passionate football!
