The perfect midfield: It starts with never passing the ball to Ronaldo.

There's no need to publicly state that you have no obligation to pass the ball!

Nani, who has been dubbed one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness" by netizens, is nicknamed "Nani Doesn't Transmit".

Although Manchester United fans may dislike him now, they are eagerly anticipating the future arrival of a striker like Nani.

On the green field, Portugal's number 17 made the simplest and most efficient choice!

With the inside of your right foot aimed at the lower middle part of the ball, launch a quick, low, and flat shot!

The ball skimmed along the wet grass, splashing tiny droplets of water as it hurtled towards the far corner of the goal!

Akinfeev struggled to his side and fell to the ground, stretching his arms to their limit!

But Nani's shot was incredibly precise and fast! My fingertips only had time to feel a cold touch!

Swish!

The ball cleanly and neatly nestled into the bottom corner of the net!

Goal!

"GoaL!!!!"

The commentators went completely crazy, their voices cracking!

"Nani!"

"A decisive blow!!"

"Victory secured!!!"

"89th minute! A textbook Portuguese counter-attack!"

"Mario's deadly deception! Ronaldo's selfless pull! Nani's calm finish!!!"

"Perfect! Absolutely perfect teamwork! This is the art of football!"

"The Portuguese trident shone with its most dazzling light in the cold Moscow night!!!"

The moment Nani confirmed that the ball had gone into the net, his pent-up emotions erupted like a volcano.

He sprinted towards the corner flag, ripped off his Portugal jersey, and roared deafeningly at the sea of ​​cheering white fans in the stands.

Although he received a yellow card, all the pressure and doubts vanished with that roar!

[Guys, it seems like each of the three players who scored the goal really wants to be the star!]

- [Yeah, they're just using this celebratory gesture to grab attention. I didn't expect their muscles to be so well-developed!!]

-【Even Luo Ge has an empty seat, what?! Not even one for him?!~】

- [Haha, he has no obligation to pass the ball to Ronaldo!]

-【This play was mainly due to my brother Ronaldo's excellent playmaking, he was amazing~】

- [Bullshit! If Mario hadn't launched a fast counter-attack, they wouldn't have scored that game-winning goal!]

-【His defense was so sloppy! He was just waiting for the corner kick, how could he not be quick on the counter-attack?!】

- [The attack was so satisfying! A goal, an assist, and even a fumble from the opposing goalkeeper—simply amazing!!]

Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to rush over, laughing as he jumped onto Nani's back!

Mario followed closely behind, joining the celebrations, panting heavily; the sprint in the rainy night had taken a toll on his stamina.

Fortunately, Russia doesn't have much time left.

Soon, the Portuguese crowd gathered around.

In the cold rain of Moscow, under the deathly silent gaze of Russian fans, they hugged, jumped, and roared wildly!

Bento's punches to the farmer on the sidelines were even more intense, while Capello slumped back to the coaching bench, pushing up his slipping glasses.

His eyes were filled with resentment and a complex scrutiny of the 18-year-old boy who had orchestrated the fatal blow.

The match entered its final seconds amidst the deafening cheers of the Portuguese and the desperate silence of the Russians.

With the referee's final whistle, the score was set!

The numbers on the scoreboard were a cold and cruel sting to every home team fan in attendance.

Russia 1:3 Portugal.

With a 3-point gap in the standings and their goal difference advantage completely wiped out, Russia's journey in the European World Cup qualifiers has become significantly more difficult!

Shaking their heads, the fans left the stadium with a somewhat helpless and dejected expression.

The Portuguese fans, who had taken the initiative, continued to sing, their voices carrying through the cold night sky and drifting towards the brightly lit skyline of Moscow.

"Cristiano!!"

"Mario!!"

"What?!"

"Pepe!!"

"....."

"We come from a small country by the sea, but we have the whole ocean in our hearts!"

Every player's name was chanted, and victory was the best dopamine booster.

The fatigue from their journey to the Far East vanished instantly, and the cold Moscow night left them only with joy.

The photo of Mario and Ines kissing passionately on the sidelines made fans cheer.

Several outgoing and sexy girls even wanted to take her place!

Mario is the coolest, so cool! I could be as handsome as Cristiano Ronaldo!!

Remembering Conte's advice, the 18-year-old did not celebrate his national team debut with a traditional wedding ceremony, but instead sought out a physiotherapist for massage therapy.

Bento gave clear instructions that Mario would start in the match five days later at the Estádio do Dragão.

-----------------

At the post-match press conference, Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a goal, was in a good mood. Of course, what made the Real Madrid star even more satisfied was the outstanding performance of his favorite, Mario.

He considers himself a mentor in Mario's football career and is not unhappy that young people have stolen his thunder.

On the contrary, the emotional value of this talent scout finding a thoroughbred horse made it hard for him to suppress his smile.

"Yes, that's right, Mario and I met back in the summer."

"After finishing his business activities in Lisbon, I saw him practicing alone!"

"They're practicing long-range shooting!"

"Talent plus hard work!"

"Being able to become an indispensable member of the national team is the result of his personal efforts."

"But believe me, this is far from his limit!"

"As for not having an obligation to pass the ball to me immediately?"

"To be honest, I agree with that statement."

"That's why Portugal won; we're a united team!"

"So, the cold of Moscow and the boos can't defeat us!"

"Mario ignited the team with a world-class goal, my goal-scoring instinct helped the team take the lead, and Nani's final strike broke the mental barrier. These were all crucial for the team."

"Remember, there are no individual heroes here, only teams fighting for the team badge on their chests!"

Cristiano Ronaldo spoke eloquently in front of the camera, and it must be said that when his hair is styled properly, he is not abstract at all.

Moreover, he took great care of his fellow Portuguese.

During Real Madrid's first La Liga match against Valencia this season, Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas made a mistake when coming out of his goal and collided heavily with his own defender Pepe, who was bleeding profusely from the head.

The unfortunate monk completely forgot who he was and where he was in the changing room.

"My name is Pablo, what am I doing here?" Pepe's words startled the entire Real Madrid team.

Because the word Pablo doesn't exist in Pepe's full Portuguese name.

He fell into a coma again after being taken to the hospital, while Ronaldo stayed at the hospital all night and comforted Pepe's family.

This incident completely fails to reveal that Luo Ge is the cunning guy who would switch captaincy during the voting period.

As for the growing rift with another Portuguese compatriot, it was because Mourinho failed to straighten out the Real Madrid star's personality.

At this crucial time of competing with Messi for individual honors, what Ronaldo needs to do to encourage actively dropping back to defend is to have private conversations with him.

The madman, however, chose the old-fashioned method of public suppression.

What is the intention?

It's about using trusted confidants to establish authority in public, so that others will think the head coach is impartial and will also be intimidated by it.

Let's have a private conversation when we have the chance, and then talk things out and get back on the same page.

However, this tactic is not very effective for a superstar under high pressure, especially for a player like Cristiano Ronaldo with his developmental experience.

The arrogant yet sensitive man responded in public in the locker room with tears in his eyes.

"I support you so much, and you..."

The stubborn Mourinho wouldn't back down, and so the two parted ways. Later, after scoring a goal, he even uttered the vulgar curse "FODA-SE" at the coaching bench.

Perhaps a parting of ways will also occur between Ronaldo and Mario, but not now.
