101 goals for Portugal: the milestone of the «monster»: Ronaldo chases Daei – sport

“It’s like going to a circus without clowns; to a garden without flowers, “said Cristiano Ronaldo after the 2-0 win over Sweden. This meant the empty stages related to the crown. On Tuesday, only a handful of people witnessed “CR7” writing soccer history once again.

It was the 45th minute when Ronaldo scored marvelously with a free kick to make it 1-0; his 100th goal with the Portugal jersey. After the break he added the number 101 with a nice Schlenzer gate. Before that, no European international had dialed three digits for their country. In general, only the Iranian Ali Daei was more productive. He scored 109 times in his career.

What’s particularly worth mentioning: The 35-year-old Portuguese contributed just 17 hits in friendly matches to his bulging goal tally. His compatriot Deco spoke then of the “milestone of a monster”. As usual, the registration man himself said: “I cannot force the searches. They come alone. ”It can still be assumed that he wants to break the 109-goal mark as soon as possible.
