Y tras el silbatazo final en la eliminación de Portugal ante España, Cristiano Ronaldo simplemente NO pudo contenerse.
Intentó aplaudir. Intentó sonreír. Y realmente intentó no llorar. Pero la emoción lo superó. Cristiano Ronaldo simplemente no pudo contener las lágrimas después de entender que hoy se terminó para siempre su viaje mundialista.
Es la tristeza de saber que no podrá cumplir el único sueño que le faltaba por lograr. Es la decepción de asimilar que no logrará la gloria eterna en el torneo más grande que existe. Y es la emoción de comprender que se retirará sin ser campeón del mundo.
Si realmente te gusta el fútbol, es imposible no conmoverse viendo estas imágenes. Duele ver así al mejor goleador de todos los tiempos. Duele ver así a un ídolo que nunca volverá a repetirse.
Gracias por todo, Cristiano Ronaldo.
GRACIAS ETERNAS.
🎙️ لقد كان هناك عِناق جميل ومؤثر للغاية مع كريستيانو رونالدو قبل المباراة. لقد اقترب من موقعك وتبادلتما عِناقاً صادقاً ومؤثراً للغاية، أليس كذلك؟
🚨🗣️ لويس دي لا فوينتي (مدرب منتخب إسبانيا):
نعم، في الواقع.. لقد تحدثنا في بعض المناسبات، والحقيقة هي أنني أعلنت نفسي معجباً كبيراً به.
أنا معجب بقيمه، وبما يمثله، وبكيفية عيشه لحياته، وطريقة تعامله مع الرياضة.
بالنسبة لي، أعتقد أنه مثال رائع للشباب، وأؤكد أيضاً أنه مثال حتى لمن هم ليسوا بالشباب.
لذا، عندما تتاح لنا الفرصة لنكون معاً، فإننا نتبادل مشاعر الإعجاب المتبادل.
وبالنسبة لي بالطبع، فإنه لفخر كبير أن تتاح لي فرصة معرفته، وهو أمر رائع حقاً.
Jose Mourinho:
“The Portugal players are full of selfish and overrated players. How can you claim to have three of the best midfielders in the world and not create a single goal-scoring opportunity in the whole 90 minutes? Ronaldo made several runs inside the box but received no passes. He was all alone inside the 18-yard box, yet no crosses or passes reached him. I think Ronaldo’s teammates were the reason they didn’t progress to the quarter-finals.”
🚨Zlatan Ibrahimović on Spain eliminating Portugal from the FIFA World Cup:
🗣️ “Portugal should be ashamed of that performance. Not because they lost to Spain, but because they never played like a team that wanted to win. They had Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch, one of the greatest goalscorers football has ever seen, yet they spent most of the game passing sideways, backwards and taking the easy option. If you are going to start Ronaldo, then have the courage to play for him. Instead, they looked selfish, predictable and completely out of ideas.
Bruno Fernandes is one of the most talented creators in football, but talent means nothing if you don’t use it correctly. Too many times he looked for another pass instead of putting the ball where it hurts defenders. Ronaldo was making runs, asking for crosses, waiting inside the box, and the service never came. What is the point of having the best finisher if you refuse to feed him? That is not football intelligence.
Spain deserve enormous credit because they kept believing until the very end. They moved the ball with patience, controlled the rhythm and waited for Portugal to make one mistake. Mikel Merino punished them when the moment arrived. That is the difference between a team with a clear identity and a team full of individuals trying to solve everything on their own.
Portugal did not lose because Cristiano Ronaldo was on the pitch. They lost because they never adapted to the players they had. They lacked imagination, they lacked bravery and, above all, they lacked unity. Football rewards teams that think together. Tonight Spain thought together. Portugal thought separately. That’s why one nation is celebrating, and the other is going home.”
Devastation for Cristiano Ronaldo 💔
He was in tears after Portugal were eliminated from a goal in the 91st minute by Mikel Merino of Spain in stoppage time.
بين ظلم الفيفا وتآمرها عليك لسنين وبين خذلان لاعبين منتخب لا يتخاذلون إلا بحظورك يا كريس نقولك أنت الأفضل في التاريخ وكفى.. انت ماخسرت لقب كأس العالم كأس العالم هو اللي خسر مكان في خزينتك التاريخية يا كريستيانو.
نحبك يا كريس للأبد ❤️
Vozinha, the 40-year-old hero who kept a clean sheet in Cape Verde's historic debut...broke down in tears after the game.
His mum was back home, and told national TV the day before: "No ball will go in his goal." She was right.
🚨Roy Keane on Portugal's defeat to Spain:
🗣 I genuinely feel sorry for Cristiano Ronaldo. Towards the end of his career, he deserved teammates who could rise to the occasion, not a team that looked completely lost.
🗣 Portugal had no direction, no personality and no courage when the game demanded it. That's not on Ronaldo, that's on the players around him and the manager.
🗣 Roberto Martínez has just watched Bruno Fernandes come off one of his best seasons for Manchester United, yet somehow failed to get the best out of him. That's poor coaching.
🗣️You can blame players after a defeat, but tonight I start with the manager. Portugal had the quality to compete, but they weren't set up to succeed.
A total of 471 players have won the World Cup. Only one player has scored over 975 goals.
A seven game tournament will never decide who the GOAT is, it will always be Cristiano Ronaldo. Yesterday, today and forever.
🚨Luis Figo reacts to people mocking Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal for being knockout by Spain in the World Cup.
🗣️“Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t just an ordinary player, those with the rudest comments about him might have never watch him in his prime, don’t forget what Cristiano Ronaldo has done in football history there’s no one who can challenge him.”
“What he has achieve in football isn’t something we should be talking about now but the performances at bigger tournaments with moments and a lot of memories, he came into the Portugal national team with much impact that everyone admired.”
“We were never the same since he came into the team, won us trophies with many special moments, he change the culture of football in Portugal. That’s the biggest thing no player can do for his country.”
ماذا كنت ستقول لذلك الفتى الذي خاض أول مباراة له مع المنتخب في كأس العالم في عام 2006؟
🚨 الأسطورة كريستيانو : كنت سأقول له ”قدّم كل ما لديك دائماً من أجل بلدك ومن أجل هذا القميص“.
سأقول له أيضاً ”عندما يحين وقت الرحيل، سترحل مرتاح الضمير، لأنك ستدرك أنك منحت كل ما تملك، واستنزفت جسدك حتى آخر قطرة، ولن يبقى لديك ما تقدمه“.
أما تمثيل المنتخب الوطني، فله مكانة خاصة جداً في قلبي. نحن نتحدث عن رحلة أستمرت لـ23 عاماً مليئة بالشغف والفخر، وكانت رحلة لن أنساها أبداً.
وفي النهاية، كان هناك بعض التأثر، لكن الشعور الأكبر كان راحة الضمير، لأن من يمنح كل ما لديه لأحد يستطيع أن يلومه على شيء.
If we’re being honest, context matters.
Ronaldo is 41. Messi is still in his 30s, the age range where most elite players can still function at a high level.
So if anybody happens to judge Ronaldo, do it with the reality of time too.
The fact he’s even still here, being compared to players younger than him, is greatness in itself.
