On Tuesday, Cristiano Ronaldo is poised to create a unique moment in the history of the UEFA European Championships—but for this Portuguese superstar, it largely represents a painful history. Ronaldo is expected to become the first player to participate in six different European Championships, as he takes the field against the Czech Republic in Leipzig.
This record underscores his excellence and longevity. He was a 19-year-old star when he participated in his first tournament in 2004, and this summer's performances in the qualifiers for Germany have shown he remains a crucial part of the team.
Yet, Ronaldo's Euro journey has been both a source of pain and frustration, as well as glory. To be frank, this quadrennial event sometimes feels like an obstacle to Ronaldo's legacy embellishment rather than an opportunity to achieve that goal.
At the age of 39, with his professional career nearing its end, Ronaldo continues to show passionate dedication to his health, following a Tom Brady-like regimen of diet and recovery philosophy to ensure he maintains extraordinary form. |
