witch attack? Roberto Martinez passionately sang the Portuguese national anthem and immediately gave Cristiano Ronaldo his happiness.
With his 197th cap, he is now the sole record holder in international football.
Ronaldo topples Deir Al-Mutawa tonight: The Kuwaiti striker’s score is 196 international matches, but he is not finished yet and he can still beautify his personalities.
But Ronaldo wanted to cheer up his memory with a goal. He impatiently raised his hand when a deflected shot from Joao Cancelo hit the goal in the 9th minute, but Ronaldo fired it in despite deflecting off the feather.
Portugal were released and Ronaldo missed two chances, but the pudding quickly fell apart.
1-0 AT THE MIDWAY: Portugal – with a three-man defense as Martinez’s main tactical adjustment – Liechtenstein’s double belt was too short to snag.
So, he is a skinny animal, but Bernardo Silva right after the break set a good example and of course Ronaldo was the most active student in the class.
Portugal were suddenly smashed and Ronaldo put himself entirely in the spotlight with a penalty kick and a brutal free kick into the top corner.
Jose Alvalade kept moving, and Martinez remained steadfast in reconciling Ronaldo with the Portugal supporters.
It was a successful start for the former national coach of the Red Devils, although the big figures lacked a layer of brilliance.
“The first quarter was good,” said Roberto Martinez after entering Portugal. “After that the first half was frustrating and we couldn’t show what we had worked on.”
“In the second half it was easier. You shouldn’t be surprised in a game like this.”
“Of course there is still work and we still need to get to know each other better. But I am satisfied with what I saw after only four days together. I like the attitude of the group.”
Martinez has used the term “positive” many times, including when it comes to Cristiano Ronaldo. “It’s a new tournament and the player has to show his dedication. He’s done it.”
“Subtly charming internet specialist. Avid writer. Friendly alcohol guru. Music ninja. Devoted social media fanatic.”
