The evolutionary theory of a Christian | CHRONICLE

The Portuguese national team, one of the teams with the best squad at the national team level today, weighed in on that hierarchy and variety that it has when lining up its eleven and on the bench. In this universe, today CR7 is not the football leader, age and the off-sport problems suffered in 2022 have not allowed him to, but he is still the “Commander”.

The compass with the ball now rests with Bruno Fernandes, who against “La Celeste” by Valverde and Bentancur, had a consecrating performance. He was the author of 50% of the first goal, the other percentage was made by Ronaldo when he tried to head, and generated the penalty for the second goal, which he masterfully solved himself.

However, the leadership of the Fernando Santos group continues to be under the arm of that “recordman” born in Madeira in 1985, who has accepted that his role at this stage is more of a support than a spearhead and has had the courage to know how to reinvent himself. to -three months after his 38th birthday- keep competing in the elite of world soccer.

Courage, bravery and daring that this time the Uruguayan board lacked. His coach, Diego Alonso, once again worried more about covering himself than discovering his rival -it happened to him in his debut against Korea- having the elements to do so. The late arrivals of De Arrascaeta and Pellistri -with the score 1-0 and with half an hour to go- were not enough and football, like life itself and its evolution, does not forgive the weakest of character and mentality.

Darwin affirmed in his statements, which would later serve as a seed for evolutionary psychology, that just like the human body, the mind was mutating, transforming, according to the context that surrounded it. How didactic it would have been to have Cristiano as a subject of study. A being that faithfully expresses the human side in all its facets: ambitious, competitive, self-esteem and vain, because yes, all those qualities are what have allowed humanity to evolve to where we are today: waiting to see if CR7 ends up fulfilling its purpose of retiring from football as world champion.
