Speaking of the “older the more demon” players in world football, the first thing many fans think of is undoubtedly Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi who have been on the field for many years.

　　In the UEFA Champions League group game that ended early on the 21st, Ronaldo rushed to halftime to participate in the defense and scored a key goal to help Manchester United reverse Atlanta 3:2.

　　But who would have thought that this man who is not physically weaker than a young man on the court and who is like a scoring machine is already 36 years old.

Those fans who stayed up late to watch Ronaldo's game, I am afraid they have changed from a young man to a middle-aged person.

But their idols are the same as before.

　　On the day of the game, Ronaldo started the game.

He still runs around the court tirelessly like a clockwork.

After the end of the first half, Manchester United had fallen behind by two goals.

In the second half, Ronaldo missed a single chance, but fortunately, Rashford and Maguire then evened the score for the team.

　　In the 81st minute, Cristiano Ronaldo received a pass from his teammate and took off to head the ball into the net.

Even if he is no longer young, Ronaldo is still a trustworthy person for the team.

　　I don't know when it started, Ronaldo became synonymous with "growth against age".

Time seems to be particularly gentle and friendly to him.

Not only did he have no particularly serious injuries, but he also regarded it as a daily routine to refresh various historical records that were unattainable by others.

　　Just last month, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 111 goals in the national team, surpassing Iranian star Ali Daei (109) and occupying the top spot in the history of the men's national team.

After winning the lore in the early morning game, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 137 goals in the Champions League, 14 more than Messi, who ranked second.

　　In the fierce competition and rapid iteration of international football, Ronaldo still maintains a strong competitiveness.

For him, 36 years old may not mean the end of his career.

On the contrary, after returning to Manchester United, he may create more miracles.

　　When Cristiano Ronaldo, who put on the Manchester United shirt for the second time, set sail again at Old Trafford, many fans seemed to have returned to their lush years.

The once rebellious young man who chased the wind did not disappoint anyone this time either.

　　In his first show after his return, Ronaldo, who is no longer young, made his debut and scored twice.

He used the most direct action to declare to everyone: In this familiar place, he does not need to spend too much time adapting to running-in.

The former "Little Ronaldo" never left.

　　That precious goal in the early hours of this morning was already three consecutive Champions League games by Cristiano Ronaldo, breaking the opponent's goal for Manchester United.

In 2007, he also scored three consecutive games in the Champions League.

That year, Manchester United won the Champions League.

　　After the game against Atlanta, Manchester United rose to the top of the group.

Remember Ronaldo’s declaration when he returned: “I’m here to help the team make history again and bring Manchester United where it should be.”

　　For Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the award and got soft hands, personal honor is obviously not the most important.

The "Red Devils Gene" he brought back may be a panacea to help Manchester United out of the predicament.

For the once lost "Red Devils", after welcoming their heroes, the team has gradually found the right direction.

　　Even though he is no longer young, it is certain that Cristiano Ronaldo, who has the blood of Manchester United, still has the desire and persistence for victory.

　　The dazzling fighting spirit in his eyes, the fierce fighting not to lose to any young man, the tremendous effort to keep in shape... all this is not only a 36-year-old sports fighter's unyielding performance, but also to honor what he once promised. The promise: "Help the team make history again."

　　Coincidentally, Messi, who is also known as the "double arrogance" of Ronaldo, also scored in this round of the Champions League. He also scored two goals to help Paris Saint-Germain defeat Leipzig 3:2.

Calculate the age, one is 36, one is 34, these two brothers are already 70 years old together.

　　As one of the most successful players in the history of world football, Messi still maintains his desire for victory after joining Paris.

In the previous UEFA Champions League group match between Paris and Manchester City, Messi scored his first goal in Paris.

　　What's more moving than scoring is Messi's active performance in the game. He directly lay on the ground as a wall during injury time, preparing to block the opponent's low-level shot.

Messi lay down and prepared to block the opponent's low ball shot.

　　Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are all on the list of 30 candidates for the 2021 Ballon d'Or awards previously announced by "French Football" magazine.

Perhaps they are no longer invincible at the peak, but they are still pursuing victory in their own way.

　　I have to say that their love of football and their professionalism are really admirable.

Perhaps people will always remain vigorous and young only in front of the things they love.

I hope this "two-person turn" can be performed for a long, long time.
