"It's coming, it's coming, I'm in the zone!"
"I feel like my whole body is full of power."
"The football is so obedient today; it feels like it's turned into my other foot!"
Ronaldo was incredibly excited.
He's the quintessential big game player.
He quickly proved that his words were not just empty talk.
Just two minutes later.
Ronaldo, after receiving a pass from Araujo on the flank, blazed down the left side, leaving the defending players in his dust.
Overtaking, cutting inside, creating space, shooting from distance, goal!
All in one fluid motion!
He had scored twice!
Everyone in the stands couldn't help but applaud his spectacular end-to-end performance.
Casabia decisively chose to mark Ronaldo closely.
But Ronaldo still managed to create two dangerous opportunities on the wing, especially the second time where the opposing defender received a yellow card.
In the 19th minute.
The active Ronaldo even completed a front-of-field steal.
