It came just in time! It’s a good thing that Ronaldo topped the scorer list in the World Cup preliminaries, and it’s also a good thing that Portugal didn’t win.

There are two things to watch in Portugal’s home World Cup preliminaries with Hungary. One is whether Ronaldo can score. If he scores, he will be the sole top scorer in the history of the World Cup preliminaries. One is whether Portugal can win. If it wins, it will lock in qualification for the World Cup two rounds in advance.

We have seen the final result. The first situation happened smoothly. When the team conceded a goal first, Ronaldo relied on his unique ability to predict movement in history. He appeared in the right place at the right time and converted two seconds passes from his teammates into goals, helping the team to overtake the score. He also successfully became the top scorer in the history of the world preliminaries with 41 goals.

The second situation did not happen. Szobosroy's goal helped Hungary tie the game in the 91st minute. Portugal also failed to score 3 points and had to win at least one more game to qualify for pass.

There is no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo showed his value in this game. Although at the age of 40, his ability with the ball has become more and more average, and his physical fitness has gradually failed to meet his expectations, his ability without the ball has not deteriorated at all. His running ability is still coquettish, his positioning sense is still top-notch, and his finishing ability is still online. Eating cakes is also a university knowledge, and only a small number of people have learned it thoroughly and mastered it proficiently. There are always people who use "eating pie" as a derogatory term, but in fact, if you look at it, all players with good scoring statistics will eat pie more often than they have the ball.

Portugal's failure to win can be attributed to two reasons. One is a little bad luck. Neves and B Fee each hit a goal post. Of course, this is only a minor factor. The main reason is still on the defensive end of the team, which is too loose and careless, especially the goal that was absolutely tied. In the case of 3 defense and 1 defense, the back point was completely missed. In addition, their defense on set kicks was also quite poor. Hungary easily grabbed several corner kick opportunities. In the competition for headers, Portugal was completely beaten by their opponents. This is a very dangerous signal.

The defenders cannot be blamed only for Portugal's weak defense. The configuration of the midfield is also a major hidden danger. As many fans and netizens said, it is not appropriate to start the B fee and the B seat at the same time. If the B fee is removed and Parinha is allowed to start, it may be beneficial to both offense and defense.

Of course, some fans questioned whether Martinez should have replaced Ronaldo in the 78th minute, thinking that if he had stayed on the court, he might not have conceded the next goal. But in fact, there is nothing wrong with Martinez's consideration. With the tight schedule, Ronaldo's physical fitness can no longer support the whole game. He was replaced firstly to give Ramos a chance, and secondly, it is probably also to strengthen defense after leading the score.

So, the summary of this game is one good news and two bad news. The good news is that Ronaldo can still play, score goals, and has the ability to turn the tide from time to time, which is very important for stabilizing military morale. The bad news is that Portugal still relies heavily on Ronaldo to score goals, which is definitely not a good thing. Ronaldo will be 41 years old next year, and his opponents in the World Cup are stronger. Ronaldo will not be able to break out often. Second, the team has a big problem on the defensive end. The attitude is one thing, and the defense against high-altitude balls is another, both of which are fatal. The former may cause the team to stumble in low-end games, while the latter may make the team unable to win high-end games.

Fortunately, these problems were exposed in a timely manner and appeared in the World Cup preliminaries, leaving enough time to solve the problems without causing any obvious impact on the prospects of qualifying.
