In the 6th 1/8 final of the European Cup that ended in the early morning of July 2, Beijing time, Portugal, the favorite to win the championship, defeated the dark horse Slovenia 3-0 after a penalty shootout, and advanced to the top 8 to meet the French team. In this game, Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty in extra time and almost became a sinner, and he also broke down and cried for a while.

After the game, Ronaldo accepted a long interview with RTP and responded to his feelings about the game. Ronaldo also admitted that this will be his last European Cup, so he will do his best without regrets.

Ronaldo responded to the conceded point: "This is football, and those who fail are also those who have the courage to try. Most importantly, we won. Sometimes it's really hard to take a penalty, I've scored more than 200 penalties in my career, but no matter where you shoot, you can be saved, I lost two penalty shoot-outs this year, but this one I won, football sometimes has to be fair because Portugal deserve to win! ”

When it comes to crying after losing extra time, Ronaldo explained the reason: "Because my family came to the scene, they were in the stands, they represent a unique moment, I can't put it into words, they are the people I cherish the most in my life, I don't want to disappoint them, so I was very excited after I lost it,"

Looking ahead to Portugal's next tough match, Ronaldo said: "It's definitely a tough battle with France, France, Germany, Spain, they are all favourites to win the European Championship, but we have to fight until the end, this is football, whether it fails or not, I will do my best for the Portuguese national team jersey, I have been doing this for 20 years." ”

Talking about why he insisted on the first penalty point in the penalty shootout after conceding a penalty point in extra time, Ronaldo said domineeringly: "When the captain has to take responsibility, I have to take responsibility. You can't be afraid, I'm never afraid to face things, sometimes I do it right, sometimes I don't do it right, but giving up is something you'll never hear from me. ”

At the end of the interview, Ronaldo admitted that this was his last European Cup: "There is no doubt that this is my last dance in the European Championship, I don't play football to say goodbye to football, the journey I have experienced is why I still have great enthusiasm for the European Cup. Playing for 20 years in the national team and bringing joy to people, to my family and to my children is my biggest motivation. ”

Ronaldo has played in six European Championships in his career, scoring in five previous five times and winning the title in 2016. I hope that this European Championship can leave this great legend with a successful curtain call.
