In the quarterfinals of the European Cup, Portugal lost to France 3-5 on penalties and stopped in the quarterfinals. Ronaldo failed to score in this Cup, and in the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, Ronaldo will be 41 years old at that time, will he still have a chance to break his goal account in the tournament? Why was Portugal eliminated by France?
The conservative French side held on to the score and entered their expected penalty shoot-out, and the French team came clearly prepared. In the penalty shootout, Felix missed a point, which directly led to Portugal's elimination. All the players in Portugal were not confident enough when taking penalties, goalkeeper Costa did not have the magic of the last game, Ronaldo hesitated to take the first penalty, and the whole French team was full of confidence. Portugal is bad luck, France played badly, just a little luckier. How lucky is the French team, three goals in five games, one penalty, two own goals, this is not good luck, this is called luck. This France is a bit like Portugal in '16, playing badly, but you just can't win against him.
In fact, in addition to the French team, England also played ugly. The French squad is so good, but it's really boring to play football, and there is no goal in a sports battle, and it actually enters the semi-finals. Portugal's striker is powerless, and there are so many chances to kill, and he is short of the ability to kick the goal. The French team directly arranged for someone to stare at Ronaldo, but the ball couldn't be touched, and Ronaldo was very uncomfortable. Ronaldo does not have the shadow of the center forward of the year, B fee, B seat will never be able to get to the position he is familiar with, and Leao is more and more like Balotelli the more he plays. The 41-year-old veteran is too strong, the 41-year-old Pepe has played at a very high level, and he is still an indispensable one for Portugal.
Huang Jianxiang accurately complained that the Franco-Portuguese game was played as a lullaby, without technical content, and football became ugly. Teams now play with a programmed approach to play, with defenders acting like midfielders and forwards acting like midfielders. The substitutions increased, but the game was played into a lullaby, the football became ugly, and the running men's football was left running.
Huang Jianxiang is right, the France and Portugal matches are really ugly, but when it comes to the knockout round, both teams have the strength to play attacking football, but the game is result-oriented, and both sides choose to play like this. The whole game wasted too much time passing the ball in the middle and back, thinking about waiting for the penalty shoot-out to rely on the goalkeeper to play.
Ronaldo didn't cry, in the 1/8 finals, Ronaldo didn't cry because he felt that he was a sinner, but fortunately he advanced in the penalty shootout. This time he was eliminated by the French team, and Ronaldo did not cry because he accepted the result. This is Ronaldo's last European Cup, although it is a pity, but we have to face reality. He's done well enough. Just take a look at Mbappe's performance, the 39-year-old Ronaldo is still worthy of his value and hard work.
