Portugal defeated Germany, the veterans did not die, nor did they wither

2:29am, 7 June 2025Football

In the semi-finals of the European League, Germany vs. Portugal, it is a collision between young people and the traditional European order: the golden generation in Portugal has not ended yet, but the team has been unable to achieve results. Since winning the European Cup in 2016, they have stopped at the quarterfinals of the World Cup in 2018, fell to the quarterfinals of the European Cup in 2018, and were suffocated by Morocco in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in 2012, and then in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in 2012, and in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in 2012, they have another quarterfinals of the European Cup.

Compared to the German team, which is a bit unlucky but has already had the potential to rebuild successfully, the Portuguese is obviously a little cramped: after all, age has never been a capital, and it is unknown when it is best to achieve results, which is actually easy for the opponent to show morale. What's more, in the national team field, the Germans have always been the victim of Portugal. Even in the 21 European Cup group stage, where the strength gap is the largest, Loew can still change the German team and give the Portuguese a defeat 4-2.

In this game, the Portuguese's disadvantage against the Germans continued: In the 48th minute, Werz's dribbling looked stumbling, but he still protected the ball into the penalty area, and went two to one with Kimmich, who had only passed the safe ball for a long time. Then he made the penalty area arrangement into a high-rise and hit the opponent with the header that the Germans are best at. The turning point of the game still occurred in the 58th minute. Vitinia's control allowed the Portuguese to get the initiative again, while Concesan gave the team an additional one-on-one option on the right. However, after the equalization of the score in 63 minutes, the Portuguese still needs a man who turns the advantage into a goal.

So, Ronaldo finally started to start. Just five minutes after Kossan scored the goal, B Fee was able to push up and enter the frontcourt due to the retracement of B Se and Vitina. After discovering Mendes' forward insertion space, Manchester United captain and Paris fullback played a two-pass one-for-one, standard rib pass and cut. And the one who started in the penalty area and ambushed the Barcelona goalkeeper at the back point actually...is a Saudi United striker?

Of course, facing the empty goal created by his teammates, Ronaldo did not waste any chance. While he was marching, he easily scored the ball with his right foot. Portugal successfully overtakes the score and maintained this lead until the end of the game. At this point, the Portuguese team has won 4 semi-finals in total since its founding in 1914. Ronaldo participated in it personally, contributing a total of 6 goals and 2 assists in four games.

Compared with the previous period, Ronaldo now doesn't have to lead the team like he did in previous years: Kong Sesan has already had the ability to significantly change the situation of the battle, and Neto's off-ball is also a big surprise. The team's midfielder can compete with Spain. Players in various positions in the backcourt do not have to say how personal abilities they have been baptized by the competition, and their system proficiency and experience are sufficient. On the bench, they also have attackers of the level of Leo, Jota and Gonzalo Ramos. Only in terms of the overall thickness and comprehensiveness of the lineup, Portugal may be at the level of being in Europe.

As of now, Ronaldo is indeed old, his running ability and explosive power are not as good as before, but he still has the possibility of participating in the 26 World Cup. The US, Canada and Mexico World Cup is about to begin. At the last moment of his career, Ronaldo may usher in the most reliable World Cup championship window in his life.
