Ronaldo’s performance against Türkiye
Cristiano Ronaldo caused a stir around the world when he refused to score against ten chances in Portugal’s match against Turkey. Portugal won 3-0 without any goals from Ronaldo, in return he assisted Bruno Fernandes’ third goal. In a situation where I can easily score directly.
For a player known for his desire to score goals and conquer goal records, what happened to Ronaldo in the last match? Public opinion and fans speculated and created a series of hypotheses, even claiming that Ronaldo was manipulated by… betting companies.
However, it’s not like Ronaldo changed his personality after just one restless night. Here’s why:
Cristiano Ronaldo (7 assists) has surpassed Karel Poborsky (6) and now holds the record for most assists in EURO history.
That’s how is it. Ronaldo knew he was about to break the record of the former Czech Republic player, so he tried to pass the ball at all costs. We can clearly see the change in CR7’s in-game behavior: After getting an assist, Ronaldo always raises his hand to ask for the ball when his teammates can pass inside.
Every personality change has an underlying motive
Speaking of MU, from the above story we can know one thing for sure: Ronaldo reads a lot of compliments/criticisms about himself in the media and online, and also information related to his team. That’s why Ronaldo reacts when being teased by opposing fans, especially every time Lionel Messi’s name is mentioned.
When the scandalous interview with Piers Morgan took place at the end of 2022, Ronaldo, despite criticizing both coaches Ralf Rangnick and Erik Ten Hag, still had to try to pretend he cared about MU’s fate. Adding criticism about the Glazer family’s mismanagement is a way for CR7 (or “PR7?” ) to gain points with the club’s fans, although those who care about the “Red Devils” already know that. as far back as 2016 and reading the newspaper regularly was enough to know.
Ronaldo in the match against Türkiye still hasn’t changed anything, he’s still the one hunting for personal records and is motivated to do so because he wants to silence his critics. Still a “deserter” from MU in the past by criticizing Rangnick because MU did not win a ticket to the C1 Cup (for himself), and criticizing Ten Hag for not letting him leave MU to compete for Champions League tickets at the club. other.
Whether you love or hate Ronaldo, you must have a reason why. As for the Portuguese teammates, they probably don’t think too much about it, because when their seniors pass, they have the conditions to score and win.
