📸 बिलकुल भी बोझ नहीं! सीआर7 ने विश्व कप में गोल किया, पूरी टीम ने जश्न मनाया

What all hasn’t the Portuguese national team had to listen to in recent days? After the disappointing 1-1 draw against DR Congo, superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in particular became the target of ridicule and mockery.

The 41-year-old was accused of being a sporting hindrance to his team. In addition, rumors were circulating that one or two teammates would prefer CR7 in a less prominent role.

But the opening phase of the match currently underway against Uzbekistan is showing us viewers a completely different picture: after just six minutes, Ronaldo gave the favorites an early lead from a João Cancelo assist.

The striker then ran to the Portuguese bench and celebrated there with all of his teammates. So there really can be no talk of unrest or even any resentment toward CR7...

It also likely helped that Ronaldo passed up a promising free-kick opportunity, which left-back Nuno Mendes converted shortly afterward to make it 2-0.

Also remarkable: with his goal, the veteran became the first player in World Cup history to get on the scoresheet in a total of six tournaments.

Things are going well, you could say.
