Since I was young, I loved playing football and watching the game. But since the 2004 Eurocup there is a special affection for a team. Greece won the title that day, but the fighting spirit of the Portugal team brought me closer to them. The Portuguese team, made up of superstar Luis Figo and then teenage star Cristiano Ronaldo, started the tournament with a defeat, but their performance was brilliant until the final.
In the semifinals, Portugal defeated the Netherlands, who were more likely to win the European title, Nistel Ruy, Arjen Robben, Overmas, Seedorf, Davids, Jaap Stam, Wanderser, etc., and watched with enthusiasm. Cristiano Ronaldo, who opened the net with a beautiful header, and Portugal, who won a brilliant victory, also entered my heart. Since then, Cristiano Ronaldo has been a favorite star. Portugal with their favorite team through Cristiano.
I have been a distant spectator of World Cups, Eurocoppe and league matches wherever Cristiano is present.
Portuguese fans firmly believe that Portugal will carry their first world title in Lisbon on the shoulders of Cristiano Ronaldo when the world football show takes place in Qatar.
With Ronaldo, the captain who brought Portugal to the forefront of world football by winning the Euro 2016 and the Euro Nations League in 2018, this time around some of the best players are lined up for Portugal. Along with experienced players like Pepe, Rui Patricia and Fonte, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Diaz, Ruben Navas, Javo Cancelo, who are doing well in club football, and young people like Javo Felix, Nuno Mentes, Rafael Liao, Veitinha , Ronato Sanchez and Diego Dallet. Along with this, Portugal are one of the best teams in this World Cup.
One of the rare stars of world football who maintains the energy to win even on the brink of defeat, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the rare stars of world football waiting for the ball to roll in the firm belief that it will work wonders in Qatar.
