Cristiano Ronaldo cried, for the second time in a month, and both times because of penalties, but this time, the sensation was bigger and the controversy was greater.

Cristiano Ronaldo was Portugal's first penalty taker and there was no doubt that Jota would take the penalty when he took it. And he and Oblak are also familiar with each other, after all, they were opponents in the Madrid derby, meeting 21 times, after 11 goals, but also kept 16 clean sheets.

Cristiano Ronaldo's shot is not tricky, as long as Oblak judges correctly, he can basically save. And after the penalty kick, Ronaldo cried bitterly, crying silently, his teammates must have been surprised, but they all came to comfort him.

Ronaldo's cry is not only on the hot search, but also controversial.

Some people think that he is blaming himself, a sign of selflessness and team spirit: because if this goal is scored, Portugal is likely to win, and if it does not score, it is likely to play an unpredictable penalty shoot-out and may be out; Because this is his last European Cup, he doesn't want to shame the team for his mistakes.

Ronaldo himself said after the game: "Even the strongest people have moments like this, I'm disappointed and sad because the team needed that goal and I didn't do it. ”

But there are also those who believe that this penalty is not scored, it is nothing for Portugal, the score is a draw rather than a deficit, and there is still time to score. At this time, only half of extra time was played, and there were still at least 15 minutes to play, but Ronaldo suddenly lost control of his emotions and had a psychological breakdown, what kind of role model did he play? Is it really able to motivate teammates instead of transmitting negative energy? Is it worthy of the status of captain and leader?

Therefore, some people think that Ronaldo is crying at this time, thinking not of the Portuguese team, but of himself: failed to score in a record 6 consecutive European Championships, and failed to set a new all-time goal record in the European Championship.

So, is the crying Ronaldo selfish or selfless? In fact, for more than 20 years since his debut, this topic has been around him, and there is no unified answer. From this night alone, I personally agree with the first point of view, that is, Ronaldo does not want to hurt the whole of Portugal because of his missed points, so he will put his hands together and apologize in the penalty shootout.

Of course, this is not the first time Ronaldo has cried, he cried when he lost in the 2004 European Championship final; He cried when he missed a penalty in the 2008 Champions League final; This year, the Sand Crown lost the penalty shootout in the final, and he also cried, and so on, and so on.

But I have to say that the current Ronaldo is more likely to be unable to hold back, and his joy and anger are completely different. Like when he left the pitch straight after Manchester United refused to come off the bench, like he publicly blasted the club and the manager in an interview, like he made a controversial celebration in Saudi Arabia, crying is nothing compared to that.

This is not "black" Ronaldo, but from a psychological level, after the death of the child, Ronaldo's inner world may have undergone a lot of changes, making him become more "self-free" in words and deeds, release his emotions to the fullest, never hide it, fall out with Mendes and Manchester United, and elbow opponents on the field, are all examples.

Therefore, when the emotion arrives and he wants to cry, Ronaldo will cry. But his real strength lies in the fact that, after crying, he will turn back into the same Cristiano Ronaldo, take the first penalty in the penalty shoot-out and score to complete self-redemption - whether from a selfish or selfless point of view, this is the best outcome.

Whether you like Ronaldo or not, I'm afraid you have to agree with what he said: "You have to take responsibility when you need to." You can't be afraid, I'm never afraid to face things. Sometimes I can do it, sometimes I can't, but giving up is something you'll never see from me. ”

This is the true Ronaldo, the most real Ronaldo.
