The surprising reason why Ronaldo gave up the scoring right to Bruno Fernandes

(Dan Tri) - Ronaldo faced the goalkeeper and could have scored himself, but the Portuguese superstar passed the ball to Bruno Fernandes. This is a detail that rarely happens to Ronaldo.

Highlight Türkiye 0-3 Portugal

The incident happened in the 56th minute, when Ronaldo passed the ball to Bruno Fernandes to score, raising the score to 3-0 for Portugal. The cause of the incident was also revealed to be very interesting. Portuguese press commented that Ronaldo's decision to let Bruno Fernandes score may have come from Ronaldo borrowing Fernandes' shoes in the second half of the match against Türkiye this morning (June 23).

After the match, Bruno Fernandes expressed his admiration for his senior player: "Ronaldo could have scored himself in the 56th minute, but he chose to pass the ball to me. This reflects that for him and for all of us, the victory of the Portuguese team is the most important, not who is the author of the goals". "Everyone wants to score themselves, Ronaldo too, but that is not the most important factor. The most important thing is that the Portuguese team wins", Bruno Fernandes added. Ronaldo's actions not only pleased Bruno Fernandes but also made the entire football world change their view of him. For a long time, Ronaldo has been compared to Messi in that the Portuguese superstar plays more selfishly and sacrifices less for his teammates.

However, things may be different now. Ronaldo can give and receive. From now on, his teammates in the Portuguese team may also pass the ball to him, let him score when the opportunity arises. That has changed the view that Ronaldo is too old to start, that his presence on the pitch can make it difficult for young players to play. Not directly scoring, not yet deepening the scoring record, but with the decisive pass for Bruno Fernandes to score against Turkey this morning, Ronaldo equaled the record of former Czech Republic player Karel Poborsky. Ronaldo and Poborsky each have 8 assists in the Euros.
