Revenge On China's Soccer World, World Cup Helps Fight C La

After the FA Cup matches, the Premier League ushered in a small holiday of more than ten days.

However, this short holiday is not for the players to rest, but to allow time for the European Championship qualifiers for the international players in the Premier League.

In the first round of Group J of Euro 2024 qualifiers, Portugal hosts Liechtenstein.

Portugal is the favourites to qualify for the European Qualifiers, and Portugal is still a luxurious squad this year.

Top stars who play for Premier League teams are Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo, Newcastle United striker Yuqin, Manchester United midfielder B Fei and Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva.

At the back, he and Yuqin just crossed the knife against Manchester City two defenders, Dias and Joao Cancelo.

In Liechtenstein, who challenge Portugal away from home, their strength is not outstanding, and there are not many star players in the team.

Liechtenstein is currently ranked 198th in the world and has rarely participated in major competitions in recent New Year's Editions.

Liechtenstein is now low in hard power and it is very difficult to win, with the pre-match media predicting a win rate of 3% and a draw probability of 4%.

It can be seen that this game is not challenging for the Portuguese team.

Liechtenstein's team has drawn 1 and lost 14 of their last 15 games in all competitions, and Liechtenstein has poor away ability, drawing 1 and losing 9 of the last 10 away games.

In the face of this disparity in strength, Portugal coach Santos did not have the slightest idea of slack, but directly gave his best.

Facing the star-studded Portuguese team, Liechtenstein's squad can only be described as bleak.

In the 8th minute, Bernardo Silva crossed from the right and Liechtenstein goalkeeper Bichel hit the ball.

Yuqin, who was guarding outside the penalty area, met the ball with a blast, and Bichel's vision was blocked and the ball leaked into the net!

Portugal 1:0 Liechtenstein!

In the 23rd minute of the game, Ronaldo first missed the opportunity to score, then Cancelone received a cross, the away team Jörtenstein central defender Traber made a major mistake, Ronaldo faced the goalkeeper Bechel and kicked the ball directly into the goal!

In the 34th minute of the game, Yuqin took a corner kick from the left side, and Bichel made a mistake, and Ronaldo's header was slightly deflected.

Liechtenstein escaped.

In the 38th minute, Liechtenstein centre-back Marin left the pitch injured and Liechtenstein coach Boric replaced Luhinger.

The two sides ended the match at 2-0 in the first half, and after the break, the two sides changed sides again.

In the 47th minute, Joao Cancelo crossed inverted into the triangle, Liechtenstein defender Hofer was not far away, Bernardo Silva followed up with a left-footed volley into the net, giving Portugal a 3-0 lead.

In the 50th minute, Joao Cancelo was brought down by Hofer in the box, and the referee awarded a penalty kick, which Yuqin hit.

Portugal 4:0 Liechtenstein!

In the 58th minute of the match, Palinha diagonally hung in the box, Felix chested the ball in the offside position, and Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was invalidated.

In the 61st minute, Aaron Sele fouled Palinha at the edge of the box, and Portugal won a direct free kick from the edge of the box.

After Yuqin took the lead with a penalty, Ronaldo also scored twice with a shocking free-kick.

Portugal 5:0 Liechtenstein!

In the 78th minute, Santos replaced Cristiano Ronaldo with Gonzalo Ramos and Yuqin with Leo.

After easily securing the victory, Cristiano Ronaldo and Yuqin both walked out, greeted by overwhelming applause from the Portuguese fans.

Although this must-win match is not very challenging, it is extremely important for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Starting in the first round of the European Qualifiers meant that Ronaldo had set another world record.

With 197 appearances, he officially surpassed Kuwait's Almutawa as the most appearances in the history of the men's national team.

Against world No. 198 Fishbelly Lestenstein, even if he wins by a big victory, there is actually nothing to praise.

But Ronaldo's scoring with a shocking free-kick in the game made the fans excited.

According to post-match statistics, Ronaldo started 78 minutes, 6 shots on target, 3 shots on target, scored 2 goals, passed success rate of 75%, and the whole game rating was 8.1 points.

As Ronaldo once said: When you copy my past, I have created a new future, not that I am catching up with records, but records that are catching up with me.

After the game, Ronaldo was named the best of the match, and in an interview after the game, he said with a smile: "

It's a beautiful thing that people can recognize my dedication, and when they tell me I'm the best player, I'm proud."

"I'm really good, but my strongest thing is my mentality."

"The numbers don't lie, and I've pretty much been at the same level for almost 15 years."

"The most important thing is to give, sacrifice, train hard... Talent alone will not succeed.

"If you're not 100 percent giving, you can't have the level you want to get."

'In three days' time against Luxembourg, we're still going to be in shape and give it our all.'
