The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was once again decisive with his national team last night. In a luxury joker role this time.
On Sunday night, Portugal beat Scotland (2-1) on the occasion of the second day of the Nations League. Coming on at half-time, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winning goal in the 88th minute of play, scoring from close range on a pass from Nuno Mendes. Roberto Martinez was satisfied with his winning coaching.
“When he comes on, he adds a lot of value to the team. If the scoreboard needs to be straightened out and the team needs to score, Cristiano gives energy and emotion to the fans. If Cristiano doesn’t come on, I think it’s the opposite. And that makes it easier for the opponent to do what they want to do when they play away, in Portugal,” said the Spanish technician in a press conference.
Cristiano aims for 1000 goals
This is the 901st goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo since the start of his professional career. His 132nd with the Portuguese national team. The Al-Nassr striker is determined to reach the mythical mark of 1000 goals.
Even with age, CR7’s thirst for goals does not stop. “I always want to score. Whether it’s against France or against Al-Ettifaq, It doesn’t change anything for me, he confided on his YouTube channel. After a game I won, it’s always better. But if I score more, I’ll be a little happier. And after a defeat, I learned that life goes on.”
