“He’s better than Diogo Costa,” joked the forward, for whom it wasn’t easy to beat the robot that mechanical engineer and YouTuber Mark Rober brought to the City of Football.
Mark Rober, a former NASA mechanical engineer and now a well-known YouTuber with over 70 million followers, brought the “best goalkeeper” in the world of robotics to the City of Football in Oeiras.
And Cristiano Ronaldo, the world record holder for goals, was challenged to surpass him. In front of an audience that included Diogo Dalot, Renato Veiga, Francisco Conceição, Francisco Trincão and Diogo Costa, the forward made several attempts. He started slowly to test the goalkeeper’s aptitude and then increased the intensity and placement.
