Chile Looking to Stop Ronaldo In Confederations Cup Semifinal Match

Chile looks to curb Portugal and its star player Cristiano Ronaldo in the Confederations Cup semifinal match on Wednesday. This seems like a big promise, as the goal machine is in top form at the moment. During the match on Saturday against New Zealand, Ronaldo converted a penalty, and grabbed his 75th international goal. In the last 10 matches for his team and country, Ronaldo has scored 16 goals. It seems that even though he is facing tax evasion charges, and will be in the court next month, he is not rattled by the incident on the field in Russia, as he has made two goals and an assist, leading him to win three man of the match awards.

A year ago, Ronaldo led his team to win the Euro 2016 in Paris, and it is natural that he looks to claim another international title in the Confed Cup final on Sunday. The match will be held in St. Petersburg. The winner of the Mexico vs Germany match will be the other finalist. Meanwhile, Ronaldo is also closing in on the legendary record of 84 international goals, set by Ferenc Puskas.

Marcelo Diaz, the midfielder of Chile, has had the experience of playing opposite Ronaldo at club level, as a part of Celta Vigo. He said that everyone is aware of how great a player Ronaldo is, and they all know that he is dangerous enough to decide a game alone. He has had an incredible season in Spain, and he has taken the strength displayed for Real Madrid to the international scale. It’s likely he will do the same in the semi-final. So, Chile will concentrate on preventing Ronaldo from getting the ball and scoring. Chile emerged as the winners at the the Copa America in 2015 and 2016. It can be assumed that they will be the toughest team to play against Portugal in Russia so far. Fatigue could well be an issue in Portugal’s ranks.
