“Manager ne humein kaha ke agar hum haar bhi jayein to apna natural game khelain. Dusre half mein hum full energy ke sath wapas aaye aur Croatia hamara muqabla nahin kar saki.”
Ronaldo Ko Mushkil Waqt Ka Samna
Portugal ke legendary striker Cristiano Ronaldo ko Houston mein DR Congo ki mazboot defence ke khilaf kafi mushkilat ka samna karna para.
Joao Neves ne pehle half mein Portugal ko lead dilayi, lekin injury time mein Yoane Wissa ne header ke zariye score 1-1 kar diya aur DR Congo ko World Cup ki tareekh ka pehla point hasil karwa diya.
Is natije ke baad Portugal ke coach Roberto Martinez par phir tanqeed shuru ho gayi ke woh 41 saal ke Ronaldo ko ab bhi starting lineup mein kyun shamil karte hain.
Martinez ne Ronaldo ka difa karte hue kaha:
“Jab team ko goals ki zaroorat ho to duniya ke behtareen goal scorer ko field se bahar nikalna koi maani nahin rakhta.”
Ronaldo ne media se baat nahin ki, lekin baad mein Instagram par likha:
“Yeh woh shuruat nahin thi jo hum chahte thay, lekin safar abhi lamba hai aur abhi sab kuch khatam nahin hua.”
DR Congo ki kamyabi is liye bhi aham thi kyun ke Ebola outbreak ki wajah se un ki World Cup tayyari mutasir hui thi.
Coach Sebastien Desabre ne kaha:
“World Cup mein DR Congo ka pehla point aur pehla goal hasil karna hum sab ke liye fakhar ki baat hai. Mere players ne mulk ki numayindagi bohat behtareen andaz mein ki.”
