Ttsbola.com - Semua penggawa Tim Nasional Portugal siap membantu megabintang Cristiano Ronaldo menemukan golnya di EURO 2024. Hal itu dikatakan Bek Timnas Portugal Nuno Mendes setelah Ronaldo masih nihil gol dari empat laga yang sudah dimainkan Portugal, meskipun CR 7 menjadi pemain terbanyak yang melesatkan tembakan dengan total 20 di Euro, termasuk tendangan penalti yang gagal saat melawan Slovenia. "Itu sulit baginya (Ronaldo) dan kami semua di sini untuk membantu. Kami harus membantu semua pemain di lapangan, dia berada dalam momen yang kurang bagus dan tim merasakannya," kata Mendes dikutip dari laman resmi Timnas Portugal, Kamis (4/7).
"Kami adalah grup yang sangat padu, itu adalah apa yang memberi kami kekuatan terbesar untuk memenangkan pertandingan sedemikian rupa sehingga Diogo Costa melakukan empat penyelamatan luar biasa. Itu adalah momen yang memberi kami kekuatan lebih," tambahnya. Selecao das Quinas akan melanjutkan petualangannya di EURO 2024 dengan menghadapi finalis Piala Dunia 2022 Qatar, Prancis di Volksparkstadion, Hamburg, Jumat (5/7) waktu setempat atau Sabtu (6/7) pukul 02.00 WIB. Laga ini akan mempertemukan dua megabintang sepak bola, yaitu Cristiano Ronaldo dari Portugal dan Kylian Mbappe dari Prancis. Sebagai pemain yang bermain dalam ruang ganti yang sama dengan Ronaldo (Portugal) dan Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain), Mendes mengatakan keduanya sebagai pemain "luar biasa yang bisa membuat perbedaan kapan saja" meskipun sama-sama sedang berjuang menemukan performa terbaiknya di EURO 2024.
"Ronaldo dan Mbappe adalah pemain level atas, dua pemain luar biasa yang bisa membuat perbedaan kapan saja. Saya berbagi ruang ganti dengan mereka berdua. Mereka adalah dua pemain luar biasa yang bisa membuat perbedaan dari satu momen ke momen berikutnya," tutup Mendes.
Even the gods, if they exist, must laugh from time to time. Perhaps what we call tragedy is merely comedy from a higher perspective, a joke we are too caught up in to understand. Maybe the wisest among us are not the ones who take life the most seriously, but those who can laugh at its absurdity and find joy even in the darkest moments.
Friendship, some say, is a single soul residing in two bodies, but why limit it to two? What if friendship is more like a great, endless web, where each connection strengthens the whole? Maybe we are not separate beings at all, but parts of one vast consciousness, reaching out through the illusion of individuality to recognize itself in another.
Virtue, they say, lies in the middle, but who among us can truly say where the middle is? Is it a fixed point, or does it shift with time, perception, and context? Perhaps the middle is not a place but a way of moving, a constant balancing act between excess and deficiency. Maybe to be virtuous is not to reach the middle but to dance around it with grace.
The essence of existence is like smoke, always shifting, always changing, yet somehow always present. It moves with the wind of thought, expanding and contracting, never quite settling but never truly disappearing. Perhaps to exist is simply to flow, to let oneself be carried by the great current of being without resistance.
All knowledge, it is said, comes from experience, but does that not mean that the more we experience, the wiser we become? If wisdom is the understanding of life, then should we not chase every experience we can, taste every flavor, walk every path, and embrace every feeling? Perhaps the greatest tragedy is to live cautiously, never fully opening oneself to the richness of being.
