He was helping his teammates with some passing and making great movements in the box to create openings for his team.

The former footballer said that players like the Portuguese captain always demand more from themselves."Players like Ronaldo always demand more from themselves. They want to improve match by match and perform at the highest level. For them, a bad game is considered their worst, and even Even an excellent performance is seen as merely 'good'. Ronaldo thrives." Pushing the limits every single game, that's his mentality,” he said.Recaping the match, Portugal won 2–1 over the Czechs after a late comeback goal from Chico Conceição. The Czech scored a stunning goal in the 62nd minute to give his team the lead against the 2016 Euro winners. However, an own goal by Robin Hranek in the 69th minute leveled the score.
