On July 2, Beijing time, one of the most shocking and exciting penalty shootouts in the European Cup ended, Portugal and Slovenia drew 0:0 in regular time, and finally Ronaldo kicked a penalty kick in extra time, but then he achieved the redemption of the king.
Cristiano Ronaldo showed an unrivalled desire to win in this game, with eight shots on goal, including four free-kicks and one penalty, but yet to score. But it doesn't matter, he redeemed himself in the penalty shootout, and more importantly, Ronaldo also made a heart-warming move after the game, taking the initiative to pay tribute to Costa, the first hero of Portugal's game.
Many people are blaming Ronaldo, thinking that Ronaldo's efficiency in this game was too low and the hitting rate was too poor, but who noticed that Ronaldo bravely took responsibility and achieved the return of the king? At that time, in the 103rd minute of extra time, Ronaldo personally took the penalty and was saved by Oblak, and everyone felt that everything was going to be over. Including at the break of the first half, Ronaldo couldn't stop crying when he came to the sidelines, crying very, very uncomfortable, his expression was very bitter, and his teammates almost couldn't stop comforting him.
At that time, Ronaldo's crying expression broke the hearts of many people, but why is Ronaldo the king of the ball? One of his most powerful points is that he can quickly adjust, at that time we saw very clearly, Ronaldo's emotions were a little out of control, and then after the second half of extra time, when the two sides entered the penalty shootout, he was the first to go to the penalty spot, which is Ronaldo's responsibility.
He knew he had just missed a penalty in the face of Olako, and he took the initiative to go up again and take another penalty. If this penalty is lost again at this time, then the pressure will be very great, and all along, the first person to go up to take a penalty in the penalty shootout is the most difficult and the one who bears the greatest responsibility, but at this time, Ronaldo went up to shoulder the pressure and responsibility, and he wanted the first penalty. If he misses a penalty team-mate, he will be very panicked, but this time he resolutely chose to save Portugal.
And the second time he faced Oblak, Ronaldo did not let this opponent beat him again, he resolutely took the penalty into the bottom left corner, if Ronaldo did not come up to set the tone for the team, there would be no magical three consecutive saves like Costa behind. It can only be said that the credit for this game is Costa's, but there is definitely Ronaldo's, and both sides account for half of it.
Just lost a penalty in extra time, and the penalty shootout was the first to go up to take a penalty, who else do you say will have such courage except Ronaldo? This is where Ronaldo is powerful, and others would have dared not shoulder this responsibility for a long time. Only Ronaldo knew that he had just been saved now, but in order not to put pressure on his teammates, he still went on his own.
And after scoring the penalty, Ronaldo folded his hands to signal not to celebrate, and he was still apologizing to the Portuguese fans for the point just now. He's still feeling guilty for the penalty he missed earlier!
