They are Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo, the key players in defense. They shed hot tears after the game.
That's how Portugal's Euro 2024 ended. One of the natural interests after the game was the two players' moves.
Coach Roberto Martinez said after the game that ' (whether to join the next team) has not yet been decided.
The evaluation is completely contradictory. Ronaldo has been cited as one of the key reasons for Portugal's elimination from the quarterfinals. Pepe's performance, on the other hand, is highly praised.
Martinez gave Pepe a strong compliment.
"Pepe is a role model for Portuguese soccer," he told local media after the game. What he did at the tournament tonight will inspire the next generation as well.'
He was the oldest player in the history of the Euro tournament at the age of 41. He still showed strong competitiveness as a key resource for the Portuguese centre-back. Pepe was still the heart of the Portuguese defence, proving in action.
However, Ronaldo's rating is at rock bottom.
The BBC reported 'Ronaldo did not score a single goal in five appearances. More shots than any other player, but no goals. We had a difficult competition as questions about our position in the team were constantly raised.
The media shed tears after missing the extra-time penalty against Slovenia, but recovered by scoring the first kicker of the penalty shootout. However, he once again looked frustrated as he lost to France, and now there are doubts about whether he can play for his country again.
Former Portuguese defender Jose Ponte told BBC Sport '??Law pointed out that he should give way to young players and allow them to show their talent. It was a remark that targeted Ronaldo around.
