In the 1/8 finals of Euro 2024, the matchup between Portugal and Slovenia has become the focus of attention of football fans around the world. This game is not only a showdown of disparity in strength, but also a contest between traditional and emerging powers. Portugal, with its sixth-ranked squad and a squad worth more than €1 billion, is widely regarded as a serious contender for this tournament. In contrast, Slovenia, who are worth just €140 million, are the obvious underdogs in this tournament, but they showed amazing team cohesion and defensive strength in the group stage, especially against higher-ranked opponents, and they were quite tenacious.
Portugal came out with the classic 433 formation, and Ronaldo's leadership in the attacking line was unquestionable. Under his leadership, the Portuguese players continued to exploit the flank crosses of Rafael Leao and B, as well as the organisational ability of B Fee in midfield, to try to break down the Slovenian Bucket formation. Slovenia used a 442 formation with an emphasis on defensive counter-attacks, with Sporal and Sesko becoming their attacking spearheads, often launching swift counter-attacks after Portugal's attack, trying to capitalise on their opponents' defensive mistakes.
After the start of the competition, various comments and opinions appeared on the Internet. Some netizens think, "Portugal should win this game easily, after all, their lineup and experience are far superior to their opponents." However, there were also those who praised Slovenia's performance, "Slovenia are not very valuable, but their teamwork is excellent, this is a team that should not be underestimated. ”
The first half of the game began with a fierce pitch. Portugal were in the lead, with Cristiano Ronaldo taking the lead in trying to break the deadlock, receiving the ball from outside the box on several occasions and trying straight at goal, but all of them were on target. Teammates also followed up, hoping to break down Slovenia's solid defence with multiple attacks. However, Slovenia did not back down, relying on a tight defensive line and quick counter-attacks to show excellent teamwork, threatening the Portuguese goal from time to time.
Cristiano Ronaldo constantly moved his teammates on the pitch and tried to change the situation of the game through his individual ability and leadership qualities. Every time he got the ball, the whole stadium was in a tense mood and the fans were expecting him to create a chance to score. However, Slovenia's defence was very solid, and they packed Cristiano Ronaldo tightly, limiting his attacking space and making it difficult for him to find a good angle in the box.
The second half was equally intense and both sides were well aware of the importance of the game and tried to find ways to change the game. Portugal continued to press, trying to break down the Slovenian defence, but each attack was defused by the opponent's stubborn counter-attacks. Slovenia, on the other hand, relied on their team's tacit understanding to quickly send the ball to Portugal's dangerous area, trying to catch the opponent's flaws on the counter-attack.
As the game entered extra-time, the fitness of the players on both sides had bottomed out, but they still gave their all on the pitch and did not give up a single ball. Portugal once again showed their possession and technical superiority but were unable to find the back of the net in extra-time, while Slovenia held their ground stubbornly and did not give their opponents any chance.
The next penalty shoot-out became a decisive moment in the game. Cristiano Ronaldo, B Fee and other Portuguese players stood on the penalty spot one after another, and showed their composure and skill level by sending the ball into the opponent's goal with an excellent performance. Portugal's goalkeeper Costa played brilliantly, successfully saving three penalties from Slovenia to earn a valuable victory.
After the game, fans took to social media to express their excitement and support. "Cristiano Ronaldo was fantastic, his penalty performance was outstanding!" "Slovenia are doing very well, although they didn't qualify, their defense is really tenacious!"
Someone else has analyzed Ronaldo's technical characteristics in depth: as a well-rounded striker, Ronaldo can not only play the role of a center forward, but also play as a winger on the left and right. Although his dominant foot is right-footed, his foot ability is quite balanced.
On social media, Cristiano Ronaldo's technical features are often the subject of discussion among fans. One fan wrote on the forum: "Ronaldo's skills are really well-rounded, whether it is in the center of the field or on the wing, he can show excellent performances. I remember him once scoring an amazing goal with his left foot in a game that showed exactly what he was capable of with both feet. ”
Another fan commented: "The opponent is really a headache, Ronaldo is not only fast and powerful, but also can shoot left and right. It's really hard to keep him at bay! This discussion of Ronaldo's all-round technical ability is a frequent occurrence online, reflecting his unique position and influence in the football world.
In a video comment area about Ronaldo's technical discussion, a netizen left a message: "I think the reason why Ronaldo has been able to stay at the top level for a long time is that in addition to his physical fitness and talent, he has a comprehensive grasp of football skills." Not only is he strong on the offensive end, but he also plays a key role in defense and teamwork. ”
Another fan replied: "That's right, Cristiano Ronaldo is not just an attacking weapon, his versatility on the pitch makes him a true leader. His skill is not only in the number of goals, but also in his overall impact and tactical awareness of the game. ”
As a world-class player, Ronaldo's technical and all-round ability has not only been reflected in the game, but has also become a hot topic of discussion among fans. He has consistently performed well in both club and international competitions, which has earned him widespread respect and praise.
Overall, Portugal, thanks to their possession advantage and individual player ability, failed to score in regulation time, but showed composure and consistency in the penalty shoot-out. Comparatively speaking, Slovenia showed strong defensive ability and tactical flexibility, but they fell slightly short in penalty shootouts. This match not only showcased the fierce competition of the European Championship, but also made people look forward to more exciting matches to come.
