“Cristiano Ronaldo shouldn’t work defensively”
– – Juventus Turin wins the Supercup against Naples. Cristiano Ronaldo sets a goal world record with his goal and is therefore relieved of defensive duties by Andrea Pirlo. – –
– The triumph of Juventus Turin in the Supercup also marked a historic record. With his goal, Cristiano Ronaldo is now the best goalscorer in the world. He takes over from a Czech folk hero. – – – AAll of a sudden he was standing completely free in the five meter space of the SSC Napoli. In such situations, amateur footballers say grandly in front of the television: “I would have done that too.” What is rarely right is always true with Cristiano Ronaldo. In the final of the Italian Supercup between Juventus Turin and Naples (2-0) It was still 0-0 in the 64th minute when Federico Bernardeschi kicks a corner into the penalty area. The ball bounces off the upper body of a Naples defender in front of the goal. Without first accepting the ball and turning it off, Ronaldo shoots the ball into the net. The opening goal for Juve is also the record for the Portuguese. He now has 760 competitive goals. Nobody has done that before him. So far, Ronaldo has scored 658 goals for four different clubs (Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus Turin).

So a total of 760, Ronaldo replaced the Austrian Josef Bican, who had scored 759 times in his career. By the way, Ronaldo scored his first goal in Lisbon’s 3-0 win against Moreirense in 2002. At that time, he even scored twice. “On October 7th, Ronaldo scored his first goal. Today he scored the historic 760th goal, ”tweeted his training club Sporting Lisbon. “The best goalscorer in history. A talent from another planet. ”In addition, the triumph in the Supercup is Ronaldo’s 33rd title – another impressive mark. “This is the Juve that we love, that we trust, and it is this spirit that takes us to the victories we want. Well done guys! ”Wrote the 35-year-old on its internet platforms.

– – – His personal triumph was on the horizon. First, Ronaldo broke Pelé’s record at the beginning of the new year. Brazil’s legend took second place in the all-time leaderboard with 757 hits. It was already clear to everyone that it shouldn’t be too long before Josef Bican’s record was broken. A goal to make it 3-1 against Sassuolo equalized Bican’s record, now Ronaldo has set a new one. Because Bican’s career was a long time ago and the Cristiano fans were probably not born in his glory days, he may need a brief introduction. He was born in Vienna in 1913, played for Rapid Vienna at the age of 17 and was Europe’s top scorer five times in a row from 1939 onwards. He first played for the national team of Austria, then took on the Czechoslovak citizenship, was among others under contract with Slavia Prague and ran for the national team of the country. Josef Bican in the jersey of Slavia Prague Source: pa / CTK / Zdenek Havelka – – Bican, who died in Prague in December 2001, is one of the Czech football heroes. There are sources that ascribe over 800 goals to him. But even if that’s true, Ronaldo is likely to break this mark too. In 1997, the International Organization of Football Historians presented Bican with the award for the world’s best goalscorer of the 20th century. The one for the 21st century could in all probability go to Ronaldo. And his career is not over yet, so how many goals he will score in the end is still completely open.The record was decades old
