At the age of 39, Portuguese soccer legend Crom has once again shone on the international stage, not only setting new personal records, but also proving his extraordinary strength with his solid play. In the last five matches, he has penetrated the opponent's goal three times, and his intimidating power even made the Czech team leader Xia Xiasi have to praise him.
Since the 2004 European Cup, Cron has represented the Portuguese national team for the sixth consecutive time in major tournaments, and his brilliant record with five World Cup trips and eleven international tournaments has made him a deserved No.1 in the football world, alongside Germany's Matus, Portugal's year-on-year ratio, and Croatia's Modi Calendar, with a total of nine records.
In Portugal's tactical system, Cron was positioned as an arrowhead, responsible for "waiting for the ball to kick", and he lived up to his reputation, creating chances for his team every time he received the ball and contributing to two key passes and shots on goal in the match. According to statistics, in the history of the European national team, Cron made 43 key passes, breaking the previous record (42), and continues to hold this honor.
After the match, the Xanthi leader spoke highly of Cron's performance: "At Cron's age, he poses a huge threat every time he touches the ball. His strength is unbelievable. In this game, he will show his genius. I know how to create chances. I want to pay tribute to one of the greatest players in the history of soccer."
