On September 2nd against Ireland, Ronaldo scored two goals for Portugal.
So 111 goals in the international competition. The history of the men’s national team scorer king.
This is difficult.
After all, there have been so many football players throughout the ages, and only he has reached this number.
Secondly, it is even more difficult to achieve this achievement in Europe.
The previous record of 109 goals was Iran’s Ali Daei. The old Chinese fans who watched the 1996 Asian Cup and the 1997 Top Ten matches should remember this one (as well as Bagheri and Maddwickia).
He is great, but…
The outstanding scorers of the national team after the current C Ronaldo have 76 goals from the UAE’s Mabuhot and 74 goals from the Chetri national team of India.
Messi scored 73 goals, Lewandre 66 goals, and Suarez 63 goals.
Are Mabhot and Chetri, better than Messi Levan Suarez? Of course not…
Not to underestimate the Asian football world, but everyone knows that the United Arab Emirates and India, including Iran’s international goals, are not the same as Europe, the gold content is not the same.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored 111 goals in this hell difficulty in Europe.
In terms of efficiency, there are naturally more efficient ones. For example, Muller has just passed away 62 games with 68 goals, such as the legendary Puskas 85 games with 84 goals.
But why didn’t Mueller continue to be efficient? Because he retired from the national team at the age of 29.
Sometimes it’s important to stick to it.
Let me give you a more extreme example.
At the age of 23, Adriano scored 22 goals in 30 games for the national team.
Ronaldo played 64 games for the national team and scored 24 goals at the age of 23.
If Adriano persists, maybe?
But we all know that after Adriano was 23 years old, he was released and abandoned by himself.
And Ronaldo persisted until the age of 36, still scoring goals.
The most terrifying fact: Ronaldo’s 111 balls are not even full-time when he is in full condition, that is, when he still has part-time jobs in the middle…
As mentioned above, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 24 goals in 64 games for the national team.
Actually…
Cristiano Ronaldo played 123 games for the national team from 2004 to 2015, scoring 55 goals.
As we all know, Ronaldo is a typical winger in his debut. At that time, in the middle of Portugal, it was Nuno Gomez and Pauletta.
In the club, Ronaldo was slowly transformed into a Terminator by Fergie Ferguson after 2006. So the 2008 Golden Globe.
In Real Madrid in 2009-13, he was basically left in 4231 or 433: inside cut, long shot, push back.
During those years in Portugal, he was mostly left and right. Midway often partnered with Postiga and Almeida.
After 2015, Cristiano Ronaldo became, as he himself said, “a player in the penalty area”.
In 2016-18, he was the finisher of the penalty zone, played in the club Real Madrid’s Champions League for three consecutive times, and won the European Championship in Portugal in the European Cup.
At the same time, since 2016, Cristiano Ronaldo has played 57 games for the national team and scored 56 goals.
In the three World Cups in 2006, 2010 and 2014, Ronaldo scored three goals in total.
The 2018 World Cup ended early, but 4 goals in a single session.
In the three European Cups in 2004, 2008 and 2012, Cristiano Ronaldo has a total of 6 goals.
In the two European Cups in 2016 and 2020, Cristiano Ronaldo has 8 goals. This year also stopped early and scored 5 goals.
Ronaldo has 9 hat tricks in the national team, all after 2013, 7 after 2015, after he was 30 years old, and three were concentrated in 2019.
Although it is said that Ronaldo scored 111 goals for Portugal in 18 years, in fact, half of them were completed in the past six years:
That is, after the age of 30, Ronaldo became the ultimate terminator.
It looks like this:
“I wasn’t a full-time finisher until I was 30, and I didn’t start slashing and scoring goals until I was 30-it became the first in history.”
