Danny Mills claims Cristiano Ronaldo possesses a "selfish" goal-scoring streak that sets him apart from Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe, boldly predicting Ronaldo to clinch the Euro 2024 Golden Boot.
The Portuguese superstar is driven by a desire to win in a commanding fashion, with both England and France vying for championship honors, guided by their talismanic captains leading from the forefront.
WHAT TRANSPIRED?
Ronaldo, Kane, and Mbappe are all poised for continental glory this summer, eyeing the opportunity to claim another European Championship crown on German soil. As talismanic captains leading their nations—Portugal, England, and France respectively—they are anticipated to provide significant inspiration and leadership throughout the tournament.
THE BROADER PERSPECTIVE
Each of them bears the responsibility of delivering decisive plays in the attacking zone, fortified by record-breaking achievements that firmly establish them among the elite in their field. Their lofty accomplishments are a testament to their exceptional talent and unwavering determination. However, Ronaldo is renowned for elevating the pursuit of scoring goals to unprecedented heights.
MILLS STATEMENT
Mills has suggested that unlike his fellow forwards, CR7 wouldn't settle for just another Euros title unless he's also in the Golden Boot race. The former England international commented to BetVictor: "The Golden Boot, sure, it's prestigious, but it's truly meaningful when coupled with winning the tournament. I understand strikers can lean toward selfishness, but Harry Kane, for instance, would likely embrace scoring once and clinching the Euros. Kylian Mbappe, who hasn't scored in the Euros before, would probably be content with a single goal and a tournament triumph. But perhaps Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't."
"It's tough to predict if Ronaldo will clinch it again. There could be a match where someone unexpectedly scores two or three goals, boosting their chances. Predicting this is always challenging. Winning the Golden Boot hinges on how far your team progresses in the tournament. Naturally, more matches mean more opportunities. Penalty kicks also play a role, sometimes skewing the numbers. It's a prestigious accolade, and strikers usually hog the limelight. However, a solid defense and an exceptional goalkeeper are crucial for winning major tournaments, aspects that are sometimes overlooked."
WHAT COMES NEXT?
Mbappe, who endured a severe nasal fracture while playing for France, and the 39-year-old Portuguese striker Ronaldo have yet to score at Euro 2024. Meanwhile, Kane, who has faced scrutiny regarding his impact on England's performance, has found the net once. Currently, only Niklas Fullkrug, Georges Mikautadze, Jamal Musiala, and Ivan Schranz have managed to score two goals each in the tournament.
