Portugal is considered one of the strongest contenders for the UEFA Euro 2024 title, with star Cristiano Ronaldo aiming to replicate his 2016 success, especially as this might be Rocket Madeira's last tournament. Ronaldo has become one of the players who have participated in six different editions of the European Championship, having first appeared for Portugal in 2004.
Ronaldo also became the first player to participate in six different editions of the UEFA European Championship, having played in Euro 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024.
German coach Ralph Rangnick has achieved a remarkable performance during the ongoing UEFA European Championship Euro 2024. The Austrian national team achieved a historic victory over the Dutch with a score of 3-2 in yesterday's Tuesday match, part of the third round of group stage matches at the European Championship.
Thanks to this win, the Austrian national team snatched the top spot in Group 4 with 6 points, surpassing France, who secured second place with 5 points, and the Netherlands, who finished third with 4 points.
This is the first time Austria has topped its group in the history of its participation in the Euro Championship, and it is also the first victory Austria has achieved against the Netherlands since 1984 in various competitions.
This achievement is credited to coach Ralph Rangnick, who faced severe criticism from Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo on November 17, 2022, during his famous conversation with British journalist Piers Morgan.
In that conversation, Ronaldo criticized Rangnick's appointment as Manchester United's manager, saying: "Rangnick is not a coach fundamentally, so if you don't work in this job, how will you become Manchester United's manager?" He continued: "I didn't know him and nobody knew him among the people I spoke to, but I dealt with him professionally and respected him a lot as the team's manager."
After Ronaldo's criticism of the managerial work at Manchester United and Dutch coach Ten Hag, his contract with the "Red Devils" was terminated, and he subsequently joined Al Nasr in January 2023.
After 586 days of Ronaldo's criticism of Rangnick, the German coach managed to prove his abilities and respond to "The Don" yesterday, Tuesday, by leading the Austrian national team to the top of the group ahead of France and the Netherlands in the UEFA Euro Cup.
On the other hand, Ronaldo's Portuguese team is preparing to face Georgia, led by Ronaldo, in the closing match of the group stage of Euro 2024. The Portuguese team seeks to win to secure qualification to the knockout stages as group leaders, while Georgia aims to achieve a surprise and qualify for the Round of 16 as the best third-placed team.
