Rasmus Hojlund Channels His Inner Ronaldo…
Rasmus Hojlund, Manchester United’s newest star, decided to bust out Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic ‘Siu’ celebration during Denmark’s 1-0 victory over Portugal. Critics started muttering, but Hojlund quickly cleared the air. “Imagine playing and scoring against your idol,” Hojlund told TV2, insisting it was all admiration, not an imitation show.
“I’m basically a Ronaldo fanboy!” confessed Hojlund with a grin. Having seen Ronaldo’s magic footwork in 2009 with his own eyes, Hojlund idolizes the Portuguese legend. Like any fan would during important moments, he borrowed Ronaldo’s celebration as a tribute to the football deity who continues to make aspiring footballers swoon with his skills and swagger.
Hojlund, clearly star-struck, shared how Ronaldo’s bold “I’m the best” vibe rubbed off on him. Despite his Danish team’s victory dance in Copenhagen, Hojlund keeps his eyes on the prize, ready for a potential Ronaldo encore in Lisbon. While Portugal might have blushed with defeat, Ronaldo remained the true gent. He zipped out a motivational 11-word battle cry on social media, promising a plot twist in their next showdown. Meanwhile, Hojlund is revving up for another round of football fiesta, hoping one day he’ll scale the dizzy heights of football stardom like his hero Ronaldo.
