The red and white wall and CR7’s nervousness

From eleven meters it presents itself Don’t miss it who makes no mistakes: 2-0. Ronaldo’s bad game ends in the 66th minute, as he returns to the bench and kicks a bottle as evidence of his tangible nervousness and an undoubtedly unsatisfactory performance.
Finally Kvara: did Conte’s words galvanize him?
The sharp of ‘Kvaravaggio’ in the most important match. Georgia was anxiously awaiting a call from its top-quality player. And a signal also awaited him Anthony Contewhich in the afternoon has Napoli’s jewel is under armour during the presentation conference at the Royal Palace next to Aurelio De Laurentiis. Despite the ferocious pressure on the player by the Paris Saint Germain, the coach was categorical: “He remains. There are fewer and fewer players like this and it is for this reason that it is not a whim to want to keep Kvara.” The former Dinamo Batumi demonstrated on the pitch that he was not at all distracted by transfer rumors by scoring after less than 120 seconds. A goal for Georgia. A goal for Conte.
Georgia tops and flops
- Micah 7.5: Excellent at taking advantage of Antonio Silva’s mistake and setting up Kvara for the 1-0. Accurate from 11 meters for Georgia’s historic 2-0. Third seal in these European Championships for the top scorer of the tournament.
- Kvaratskhelia 7,5: Deadly on the counterattack: sprinting at a thousand miles an hour and an unstoppable diagonal. And, again, progressions, slaloms, dribbling: all the best of his repertoire. Kvaradona is back, on Conte’s day in Naples. A coincidence? Who knows…
- Mamardashvili 7: Unbeatable, the Valencia goalkeeper. It deserves more prestigious stages.
- Lochoshvili 6,5: The Cremonese defender wins the penalty that sends Georgia flying.
- Gvelesiani 6,5: A providential closure on Ronaldo that is worth as much as a goal.
Portugal’s tops and flops
- Conception 6: The son of art and talent of Porto has the merit of trying. One of the few who always looks for the play.
- Cristiano Ronaldo 5: Two sure-fire conclusions blocked and many protests. Nervous again, perhaps because of the goal that continues to be a taboo for the Al-Nassr star.
- Pedro Neto 5: After Leao, another Portuguese player cautioned for simulation. The former Lazio player prefers to dive rather than try to conclude a beautiful move created by the feet of Joao Felix. The result? A caution.
- Antonio Silva 4: No time to get into the mood for the match and the young Benfica defender sends Georgia to a goal with a senseless play. He repeats himself in the second half, when he takes down Lochoshvili in the area causing the penalty then converted by Mikautadze.
