With international goals 100 and 101, Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo reached another milestone Tuesday night in a career that was no longer superlative-poor.
“Now I’m going for the record. Step by step,” the 35-year-old announced. Iranian Ali Daei’s record is just 8 goals away, but “he’s not obsessed” with it, Ronaldo said.
“I think the records will come by themselves,” emphasized the Turin Juventus man, who missed the opening match of the Nations League on Saturday (4-1 against Croatia) due to a toe inflammation and now is back at 2-0 in Sweden. Torgarant appeared. From a free kick he only scored goal 100 and then 101 for the national team. It came as no surprise to Ronaldo’s teammate Bruno Fernandes. “Yesterday he made six or seven free throws like this in training, and today it was exactly like that again. It is incredible to have Cristiano in the team,” said the midfielder.
Ronaldo “the pride of all Portuguese”
Ronaldo was also celebrated with euphoria by his former teammates. “100 goals, that is the symbol of a dazzling phenomenon, a record like you. It is the milestone of a monster,” said former Portuguese international Deco in a video from the FIFA world association on Twitter. “It was a pleasure to have been your teammate and you are the pride of all Portuguese,” said former teammate Nuno Gomes.
Ronaldo scored his first international goal 16 years ago in Portugal’s 2-1 loss to Greece in the opening match of the Euro. In the 165th international match for the European champions and Nations League winners, the five-time world footballer celebrated his extraordinary anniversary as the world’s second male footballer.
“Some players don’t even score 100 goals in their entire career. But those aren’t even goals for their clubs, they’re just goals for the national team. It’s crazy,” said Englishman Rio Ferdinand, Ronaldo’s former teammate at the Manchester United. . And he joked with the vain Portuguese: “Man of 100 goals, and you still don’t look as good as I do. Maybe you’re seventh out of ten.”
