Ronaldo: From a young boy to a football legend, the storm has created glory!

When he was young, he was as bright as the day he had risen, but was accompanied by a bit of youthful and ignorant; when he grew up, he was like a butterfly breaking out of the cocoon, dancing gracefully in the voice of doubt, showing extraordinary power; and now, he is like a towering mountain and a vast river, standing on the top of the football world, quietly telling legendary stories.

He is Ronaldo, a legendary figure who writes the epic of football with his passion, sweat and persistence!

In 2004, at the European Cup in Portugal, the 19-year-old Ronaldo embarked on the journey of football with his youthful dreams and passions. At that time, he was like a fresh blooming flower, full of youth and tenderness, but also exuded a unique fragrance. He ran, jumped and fought on the field, but he failed to withstand the strong impact of Greek mythology.

When tears rolled in his eyes and fell on his tender face, the loss and unwillingness at that moment became the first baptism of his football journey. However, instead of retreating before this setback, he wiped away his tears, raised his head, looked firmly into the distance, looking at the unknown but hopeful future. In the 2006 World Cup, the 21-year-old Ronaldo ushered in a new opportunity and took the last bus of the Portuguese golden generation. With the abdication of the big brother Feige in the team, he got a goal opportunity in the World Cup and declared his rise in the core position of the national team with a penalty kick. As the golden generation of players gradually faded out, this young man named Ronaldo bravely shouldered the responsibility of reviving Portuguese football and has since shouldered the team's glory and dreams.

From the 2006 World Cup defeat to the 2016 European Cup, the decade has been the trough of Portuguese football, but it is also the transformation period for Ronaldo to gradually grow into Ronaldo. In the past decade, he has grown from an unknown young player to a superstar who has won all kinds of awards. However, no matter how brilliant his personal honor is, he has never been able to make a breakthrough at the national team level. In the World Cup and European Cup, he has repeatedly suffered setbacks with his team. He stopped in the quarterfinals of the 2008 European Cup, was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the 2010 World Cup, lost to Spain in the final four penalty shootout in the 2012 European Cup, and was eliminated in the 2014 World Cup group. This series of setbacks were like mountains, pressing on Ronaldo's heart, but he never thought of giving up. He firmly believed that he could lead Portugal out of the trough.

Finally, at the 2016 European Cup, fate gave Ronaldo the reward. When Ronaldo was knocked to the ground by Payet in the final, the severe pain in his knees made him unable to continue the game. He lay on the ground, roaring at the top of his lungs, tears bursting out at that moment. This is the final he has been waiting for for 12 years. He is so eager to fight and fight on the field, but fate has deprived him of the opportunity so cruelly. But Ronaldo's teammates did not disappoint him. They withstood the French team's fierce attack. In overtime, Edel's sword sealed the throat, allowing Portugal to win the European Cup on France's land. Ronaldo completed the unfinished tasks of the previous golden generation and led Portugal to the top of Europe for the first time. The hardships and difficulties along the way turned into endless joy and glory at that moment.

The 2018 World Cup is the stage for Ronaldo to perform best in his personal performance. He just helped Real Madrid achieve three consecutive Champions League championships and brought his hot state to the Russian arena. In his first match against Spain, he scored a hat-trick, helping the team draw 3-3 with his old opponent; in the second match against Morocco, he headed the ball to score the only goal in the game. However, in the quarterfinals, Portugal lost 1-2 to Uruguay, and Ronaldo's World Cup journey came to an abrupt end. Despite this, his performance is still unforgettable. His hard work and persistence on the field demonstrated his strong strength and responsibility as the core of the team.

years pass, and in the 2022 World Cup, 37-year-old Ronaldo suffered a major Waterloo in his career. Before the World Cup started, he terminated his contract with Manchester United and became the only player among the top 32 who did not have a club contract. After entering the knockout stage, he became a substitute. When Portugal was out of the game by Morocco, Ronaldo couldn't help crying when he left the court. This scene moved fans all over the world and felt sorry for his regret and unwillingness.

In the quarterfinals of the 2024 European Cup, Portugal was eliminated by France and stopped in the quarterfinals, and Ronaldo staged the final dance of the European Cup. After the game, Pepe, who was also the last European Cup, burst into tears and leaned on Ronaldo's shoulder to cry, while Ronaldo comforted Pepe very calmly. This scene shows Ronaldo's maturity and responsibility. He has become the spiritual pillar of the team. After experiencing storms, he has become more calm and tenacious.

Time comes to the 2025 European League stadium, and 40-year-old Ronaldo is still fighting for the Portuguese team. In Munich, Germany, the night was dyed red and green by fireworks. When Neves scored a winning penalty and Portugal killed Spain with 5-3 points and won the 2025 European League championship, Ronaldo knelt on his knees and covered his face and cried bitterly. This is his third national team championship trophy and his 36th career title.

From a 19-year-old boy to a 40-year-old legend, he personally forged a team that had never reached the finals of the competition into a golden army that reached the finals in 22 years and was crowned the king of 3 degrees. Along the way, he walked through a dead end, cut off his own way of retreat, and suffered doubts from the whole world, but never gave up. He carried the entire team and moved forward with determination, confidence and kindness.

C Ronaldo, he was young and frivolous, full of energy; he failed and burst into tears; he had failed, but never gave up; he had broken his wings, but still spared no effort. He is the one who turns the tide and lays the team's temperament. His story shines forever in the football world, allowing us to see the power of persistence and love, and has become a legend and role model in the hearts of countless people!
