Ronaldo finally scored his 700th club goal as Manchester United topped Everton

In the Premier League match between Manchester United vs Everton at Goodison Park, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 700th career goal. The 37-year-old has scored 450 goals for Real Madrid, 450 goals for Sporting Lisbon, 101 goals for Juventus, and five goals for Manchester United during the course of two stints. Over the course of nearly 20 years, the Portuguese skipper scored 700 goals in 943 club games.

If you're wondering what Ronaldo means to Man United fans, listen to their voices: Viva Ronaldo - Ronaldo is immortal. Although this is an extremely difficult time for CR 7 personally, somewhere there are still singing voices coming from the corners of the stands or when they have to be guests in distant stadiums. We are talking about a Ronaldo after 8 rounds have passed and still has not had any goals in the Premier League, or more precisely, 11 matches in all competitions.

No goal scored in the first 8 rounds 

CR7 has only scored once when the running steps are no longer elegant and when the traces of time begin to affect each shot directly. You have never seen such a frustrated and helpless Ronaldo. Since the middle of last week, people have been talking a lot about Ronaldo's number 700.

The rivals of Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League suddenly became delicious prey for the Portuguese superstar to hunt for records. But surprisingly, the small team from Cyprus has made the 37-year-old star's game day more forgettable than ever. CR7 launched 8 shots in that confrontation, but no goal was made. Even at a distance like this, the Portuguese super striker still sent the ball to the post and became a subject of ridicule on social networks.

In that confrontation, all teammates tried to put the ball, and try to create scoring opportunities for CR7 to score. They understand how much he aspires to reach seven hundred, but besides that record, they want the Portuguese superstar to find the feeling of scoring again, to find the killer instinct as we know it. Because of just one goal, confidence will return and even the monster Ronaldo can return in the context of the Premier League being Haalandized. But that didn't happen. Ronaldo ended the match against Omonia in frustration. 

He recreated the bad achievement of scoring only one goal in his first eight games from the 2005-2006 season - a season in which Ronaldo was still in his twenties, still wearing a Vodaphon shirt, and his hair still curled. Back then, CR7 was still just a winged kid who loved technical performances, not a CR7 with killer instincts like we often see now.

Ronaldo would be on the bench 

Before Omonia, he played the full 90 minutes. That means there was a high possibility that CR7 would be on the bench for the trip to Everton. This place marks a sad memory whose consequences still spread to this day. In the second leg match of last season, the Portuguese superstar, in a bad mood, broke the child's phone despite the apology afterward. The police had to investigate the incident.

Six months later, it was the FA's turn to prepare for penalties with Man United's number 7. Things were heavy as Ronaldo prepared for the trip to Goodison Park; in the context that his team also needed a victory after losing to Man City last weekend, plus the opponent had won in this round. The situation does not allow Ten Hag to stumble again, otherwise, October will become really dark for the Trafford team.

Light shed on CR7 again 

Ronaldo's fortune came when Anthony Martial suddenly suffered an injury and left the field very early. At that time, the clock was only twenty-nine minutes old and the numbers on the electronic board were showing 1-1. Everton had an early lead, but Anthony did not let the Merseyside team enjoy it. fun for too long.

At the moment being on the field to replace Anthony, Ronaldo had a smile. Did he know the joy would come? He is in a relatively relaxed and confident state of mind. Only when he achieves such a state of mind can he think of goals. He began to make contributions to the attacking game of the red-shirt team.

It was the familiar run, a swing to put the ball in the middle before hitting a finish with the left foot. This move is at its peak, and people will often think of a goal. But here is Ronaldo at the age of thirty-seven when the stretch is no longer enough, and the force from the left ankle doesn't listen to what the brain is imagining.

It didn't matter, and Ronaldo sped up when Casemiro stopped Iwobi and opened a quick counter-attack. That's when CR7 received the signal. He led the ball past the opponent's block, before launching a shot that was tight enough and dangerous enough that Pickford had to go into the net to pick up the ball. 

The 700th goal was finally made

In the end, the 700th goal at the club level has come for Ronaldo. He's been waiting for it since the beginning of the season until now. Instead of celebrating with the familiar Siu language, this time CR7 chose a different, calm style. The way to celebrate was with hands clasped to the chest in a meditative fashion, along with junior Anthony.

There is something to explain this celebration of CR7, perhaps satisfaction, because he has never encountered such great challenges in his career. We often associate Ronaldo with records since his goal counter started. It started on October 7, 2002. Six years later, CR7 reached the 100th goal at the club level. That day, the Red Devils hit West Ham. Four goals were not removed, and Ronaldo also contributed one goal in that victory.

From 100 goals onwards, Ronaldo began to push the record hunting speed. It took him 3 years to score his 200th goal. This time against Sevilla on May 7, 2011. The 300th goal came just two years later when Santa Fe was the victim of a super-speedy hat trick by the captain of the Portuguese national team. The 400th goal came even earlier because, just a year later, Ronaldo conquered it too easily. On November 22, 2014, Real Madrid beat Eibar with four goals that were not removed thanks to a brace from the Portuguese superstar. Two years later, Ronaldo scored his 500th goal at the club level. It was a significant goal because it started the journey to win the Club World Cup title

In 2016, CR7 began to slow down in its quest for new goals. His 600th goal appeared special. In the Derby d'Italia on April 28, 2019, Nainggolan helped Inter take the lead, and CR7 was the one to level the gap for the old woman. That season, Juventus won the championship, and it was also the first Scudetto in his career. At the end of the season, he had 21 goals and 8 assists, holding the award for the best player in Seria. Tell about the past journey to see how difficult the road from 600 to 700 goals on CR7 is. That achievement appears well deserved when Ronaldo is the first player in the world to do this. 

Back to what happened at dawn this morning, the 700th goal really helped CR7 relieve a lot of psychological pressure. When Man United actively reduced the tempo of the game, backed down, and gave up the game to Everton, Ronaldo continuously backed up the defense. Indeed, the 37th player personally does not want his happy day to be associated with a disappointing result for the team.
