[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/3plSsb76IjE1/en/cristiano-ronaldo-s-portugal-goal-speed-and-need-for-midfield-support?t=8) Then the second game, they created chances, he had chances, he put the ball in the back of the net.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/3plSsb76IjE1/en/cristiano-ronaldo-s-portugal-goal-speed-and-need-for-midfield-support?t=14) Yeah, he has 975 goals in his bag, you know.

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/3plSsb76IjE1/en/cristiano-ronaldo-s-portugal-goal-speed-and-need-for-midfield-support?t=19) Then 41 years old and he does that running behind, getting almost 19 miles per hour.

[0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/3plSsb76IjE1/en/cristiano-ronaldo-s-portugal-goal-speed-and-need-for-midfield-support?t=25) 41 years old, he still can run. He's not going to run 20 runs like that, you know.

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/3plSsb76IjE1/en/cristiano-ronaldo-s-portugal-goal-speed-and-need-for-midfield-support?t=30) But like you said, the great example is Lautaro Martinez in the Argentina national team.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/3plSsb76IjE1/en/cristiano-ronaldo-s-portugal-goal-speed-and-need-for-midfield-support?t=35) He's the star and the main man for Inter Milan in Italy.

[0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/3plSsb76IjE1/en/cristiano-ronaldo-s-portugal-goal-speed-and-need-for-midfield-support?t=39) Then he goes to the national team and he has to do whatever they ask of him to do it, to help Messi and to help the national team.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/3plSsb76IjE1/en/cristiano-ronaldo-s-portugal-goal-speed-and-need-for-midfield-support?t=46) So I hope the midfielder, sorry Carly, the midfielder of Portugal can do that, that they can realise the player they have in front.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/3plSsb76IjE1/en/cristiano-ronaldo-s-portugal-goal-speed-and-need-for-midfield-support?t=52) So instead of competing against him, they should use him.
