When scoring goals is your primary job and you are the prime goalscorer in the world, a one-on-one opportunity with just a goalkeeper in front would have made you shoot. And then, if the name of the striker is Cristiano Ronaldo, it would surely be a goal. And it was a goal, but it didn’t come from those legendary boots. CR7 passed the ball to Bruno Fernandez with just the goalkeeper in front to have the easiest goal of his life and show that the team comes first.
This made the whole world praise the legendary player, and one of them is his Portuguese coach, Roberto Martinez.
Roberto Martinez Lauds Ronaldo Passing to Bruno
Martinez said that ‘it was a pure moment of Portuguese football’ and ‘should be shown in every academy in world football’.
“From Cristiano, we saw something spectacular.
“To have him, an out-and-out goal scorer, pass the ball for the assist. It was a pure moment of Portuguese football that should be shown in every academy in world football.
“It showed that the team is the most important thing, that it means more than scoring any goal.”
Portugal were terrific in their first two matches, winning both, and have already qualified for the knockout stages. They will play their final group game against Georgia on June 27 at the Veltins Arena.
