“Conor McGregor has bet 60,000 pounds (about 103 million won) on Ronaldo,” British media Daily Mail reported on the 19th (Korea Standard Time). Soccer fans sigh that McGregor is seriously wasting his money. He is criticizing the move, calling it “absolutely ridiculous.”
Ronaldo said goodbye to Manchester United during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He left Europe and joined the Saudi Arabian League, and made the final list of the Portugal national team for Euro 2024. This is the result of his consistent performance in the Euro 2024 regional qualifiers and the North and Central American World Cup qualifiers.
He has built a golden tower to participate in his sixth Euro championship, but he is not as spotlighted as he did in the past. The Telegraph also shed light on Euro 2024, saying, “He is no longer the player at the center. Adidas focused on Jude Bellingham while Kylian Mbappe is a world-class superstar, drawing keen attention every day. People don’t talk about Ronaldo. Ronaldo is neither agile nor accurate, and not good enough to attract media attention.”
Ronaldo started the first round of the UEFA Euro 2024 Group F match against the Czech Republic at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, Germany on the 19th (Korea time). Coach Roberto Martinez placed Pepe, 41, at the back and Ronaldo, 39, at the front to target the Czech Republic.
Portugal led the game by maintaining ball possession as it was ahead of the team in objective performance. Nunu Mendes’ mid-range shot in the 17th minute of the first half was followed by Hoobeng Diaz’s shot in the 21st minute of the first half. Bruno Fernandes continued the flow, aiming for the Czech net.
Ronaldo faced a critical opportunity in the 31st minute of the first half. He had a through pass from Bruno Fernandes to create a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper, but was blocked by the goalkeeper. He also made an attempt against his defense in the 45th minute of the first half, but his shot was not sharp.
Portugal was leading the game but ended up allowing an unexpected loss in the second half. It allowed the Czech Republic to lose the first point in the 26th minute of the second half, calming the mood. However, it showed off its concentration afterwards, scored a lucky own goal in the 25th minute of the second half to tie the game, and then turned the tables with the winner of the Concei Prize in extra time.토토사이트 모음
The Daily Mail, a British media outlet, said, “Ronaldo played with the Portuguese captain’s armband around his arm. He attempted to kick long-distance free-kicks but failed to score a goal. In the 41st minute of the second half, Jota was at the offside position during the header process. McGregor, who boasted of his batting performance to Ronaldo, must have been extremely frustrated.”
According to the Daily Mail, McGregor was confident that Ronaldo would win the Golden Boot (top scorer) at Euro 2024 and bet 60,000 pounds (about 103 million won). He posted it on his social networking service (SNS) and wrote Ronaldo’s signature ceremony “Siuuu.”
Ronaldo used to be an overwhelming player, but he cannot resist the passage of time. It is too much to compete with young superstars such as Mbappe, Bellingham and Harry Kane. This is the reason why he has to leave the European leagues after already being proven at the World Cup in Qatar. Soccer fans are mocking McGregor by saying, “He has no knowledge of soccer,” “Ronaldo will never be the top scorer,” and “This is the beginning of McGregor’s curse.”
