Many people love watching football.
I love watching football too.
Today, I want to talk about a football match.
This match was great to watch.
In this match, there were two teams.
Both teams play football very well.
Both teams wanted to win.
Both teams also wanted to play well.
Everyone wanted to watch this match.
Many, many people came to watch.
The people watching were all very happy.
Of the two teams, who would win?
Everyone wanted to know.
Both teams really wanted to win.
They all wanted to play very well.
Everyone really wanted to watch them play.
Many, many people watched this match too.
In this match, there was a very famous player.
Many people came just to watch him.
Wherever he plays, many people go to watch.
Who is he?
Let's get to it slowly.
Okay, now let's look at this match.
Of these two teams, one is Portugal.
The other one is Uzbekistan.
On the Portugal team, there's a very famous star.
Everyone calls him C罗 (Ronaldo).
Ronaldo has been playing football for many, many years.
He is quite old now, but still scores well.
Many, many people love Ronaldo.
So today, will Ronaldo score?
Everyone wanted to know.
Okay, the match began.
Both teams wanted to score.
"To score" means to kick the ball in.
Only a little while after the start, Ronaldo scored a goal.
That goal came especially early.
One-nil, Portugal was ahead very early.
Seeing Ronaldo score, everyone in the stadium shouted loudly.
Everyone loves watching Ronaldo play.
Later, Portugal scored another goal.
Two-nil, Portugal moved further ahead.
A bit later, Ronaldo scored again.
Three-nil, that was his second goal today.
Ronaldo alone scored two goals.
He really is too good.
Later, Portugal's other players scored two more goals.
Portugal scored five goals in all.
Five goals, that really is a lot!
Portugal's goals went in one after another.
The people watching were all very happy.
In the end, the match finished, five-nil.
Portugal beat Uzbekistan by a lot.
The best today was Ronaldo.
And today Ronaldo also did a big thing.
At the World Cup, he has scored for many, many years.
The World Cup happens only once every four years.
This time, it's already his sixth time scoring at a World Cup.
That is, over many years, he scored at every World Cup.
Before, no one could do this.
Ronaldo is the first.
So this thing is especially remarkable.
Keep in mind, Ronaldo is already quite old.
That he can still score really is not easy.
Everyone admires him greatly.
Of course, Uzbekistan worked hard too.
They fought to the very end and didn't give up.
Even though they lost, they played seriously.
It's just that today, Portugal was too strong.
Actually, this is the fun part of football.
A truly great player can play for many, many years.
Okay, that's all for today's football match.
Portugal beat Uzbekistan five-nil.
Ronaldo scored two goals and did a big thing too.
That he's so good at his age really is admirable.
Thanks for listening, see you next time.
