The man has tears and does not flick, but he has not reached the sad place, this sentence is used on Ronaldo, and it is no longer appropriate. In a European Championship knockout match that has just ended, Portugal defeated Slovenia on penalties to advance to the quarter-finals and face France. Ronaldo first missed a penalty, and then scored a crucial penalty, facing the sad and joyful story, Ronaldo couldn't help but shed heroic tears on the field.
Portugal finished top of Group F and face Slovenia in Group C. Although this is the worst result of the four third-place finishers who qualified for the promotion, it does not mean that Slovenia is not strong. After 120 points, neither side could score, and in extra time, Ronaldo had a penalty chance, but was unable to help his team take the lead due to Oblak's hard save. The 41-year-old then made a mistake that luckily didn't result in a goal conceded. Both teams had great chances to score, but neither took them and could only be separated by twelve yards.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just cried because he missed a penalty, bravely stood up and took the lead in taking the penalty for Portugal. This time, the Ballon d'Or winner didn't miss out and scored to give Portugal the lead. Goalkeeper Diogo Costa was the biggest contributor to the game, saving all three penalties, Cristiano Ronaldo, B Fei and B seats all hit smoothly, and Portugal won a thrilling victory and got a chance to advance.
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score a penalty, first sad and then happy, this scene is familiar, reminiscent of that rainy night in Moscow, facing Chelsea's Champions League final, Ronaldo also experienced such a story. In the end, Van der Sar saved the team that night, but it must not be forgotten that Cristiano Ronaldo was also one of the heroes, and if it wasn't for his first-half header, United might not even have had a chance to win a penalty shootout.
Also that season, the same Chelsea, Van der Sar saved three penalties, and now Portugal seems to have copied the classics of yesteryear. Manchester United faced Chelsea in the Community Shield, with Ryan Giggs and Malouda netting in regular time in a 1-1 draw. In the shoot-out, Van der Sar saved from Pizarro, Frank Lampard and Phillips in quick succession, while Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney all hit as United comfortably lifted the Community Shield trophy against Chelsea.
Football is a collective sport, and it is common to miss penalties and miss goals. Even football superstars have scenes where penalties are not scored, and Baggio's melancholy after missing a penalty in the World Cup final has made thousands of fans feel the same way. Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty in the tournament and cried many times.
Fortunately, Ronaldo quickly stepped forward and stood on the penalty spot again, which is the appeal of the superstar. In this European Cup, although Ronaldo has not scored a goal, he selflessly helped his teammates score, which shows that Ronaldo is quite eager for the championship. It's just that Portugal is in the top half of the strong team, first to face France, if they qualify, but also to face Germany or Spain to enter the final, the road to the championship is not easy. Pepe and Ronaldo, two veterans, have proved with practical actions that age is not a problem, failure is not terrible, mentality is more important, and only by maintaining the determination to compete for the championship can it be possible to win the championship.
