The match between the France and Portugal teams will take place at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, Germany, at 2 a.m. It promises to be very tense with big question marks about Ronaldo winning the championship. free kick.
Remember that in Portugal’s round of 16 match against Slovenia, which ended with a 3-0 penalty shootout victory for the European Selecao, superstar Ronaldo was unable to convert a few free kicks into goals. The Al Nassr star also missed an important penalty in the 105th minute of extra time before successfully converting an 11-meter kick in the penalty shootout.
Regarding superstar Ronaldo almost taking free kicks for the Portuguese team at Euro 2024 in the match against Slovenia, midfielder Bernardo Silva said at the press conference: “I don’t know what to say, because I don’t know yet how the clash with France will turn out. And if I knew, I wouldn’t say… (laughs).
We realize that criticism is part of football. This also explains why players earn so much money. We do not complain about comments. Our job is to play football, in good times and bad. That’s passion. Actually, for fans, everyone knows a little about football, everyone imagines themselves as a coach. We accept that.
Cristiano Ronaldo is human. It’s normal for him to feel emotional when he misses a penalty. It’s completely acceptable. And sometimes you react in very human ways that you didn’t expect, but he still gets criticized. Of course, Ronaldo feels he can do better. And in my opinion, it was a great free kick and a great save by goalkeeper Oblak.”
Ronaldo, who has not scored any goals at Euro 2024, also played very well with his team at times when he had an assist for Bruno Fernandes in this tournament. However, Portugal went through a nervous time in the round of 16 match with Slovenia, after extra time there were no goals because superstar Ronaldo missed a penalty kick.
The two teams had to enter a penalty shootout and European Selecao goalkeeper Diogo Costa turned out to be a hero, blocking all three shots from the Slovenian player, taken by Josip Ilicic, Jure Balkovec, and Benjamin Verbic. Meanwhile, Portugal successfully scored three of its penalties, scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, and Bernardo Silva, to advance to the quarterfinals of Euro 2024.
Regarding the next one-on-one match with France, superstar Ronaldo called the battle: “We definitely have a difficult match against a strong opponent like France, one of the top candidates for the title. champion. This is a big fight and we will fight.
Portugal is in a good situation and I will always do my best with these colors. I missed the penalty but I wanted to be the one to score, and we have to take responsibility. I have never been afraid to face every obstacle in every match.”
The Portuguese team, nicknamed the European Selecao, won the Euro championship in 2016 after being runner-up in 2004. Superstar Ronaldo and his teammates want to have the second crown in history and are still far from winning. prestigious cup three more matches.
