C Ronaldo in the World Cup
semifinals
He was relegated to the bench for the big game, but his every move was still the focus of the media. The 37-year-old veteran did not give instructions to his teammates like a leader on the sidelines when he was subbed out for the group stage, but he was also excited to participate in the team's celebrations when he scored for Goncalo Ramos and Bibi, and even showed a big smile when he came on as a backup in the 74th minute.
Cron had few chances to show his performance after starting the match. There was a penalty shot that hit the wall, and there was also a clear offside goal that was ruled a fraud, and Portugal's final goal was only scored by another back-up, Rafael Llano, and Cron was still unable to break the destiny of not being able to score a goal in the knockout rounds of the World Cup. After the game, Cron went to the sidelines and thanked the fans briefly, but did not join the other teammates around the field ceremony, returned to the locker room alone in despair.
Cron celebrated the victory in a social network post as usual after the game: it was an incredible day for Portugal, a historic achievement in the world's biggest tournament, a team full of talent and youth, congratulations on the win. The dream continues! Fight to the end! Go Portugal!
Since the last round of the 2008 UEFA Europa League group stage against Switzerland, Cron has played 31 consecutive World Cup and UEFA Europa League matches for Portugal, and once again, he is the back-up against Switzerland. Cron, who has always been a competitive player, is of course upset, but unlike in this season's tournament, Cron has not been able to win the tournament.

He still has a chance to play, and his teammates' excellent performance has increased his chances of winning the Cup, but Cron has to accept that he is no longer the only protagonist.
