Ronaldo has ‘no problem’ with Hojlund’s ‘Siu’ celebration in Nations League

Rasmus Hojlund’s imitation of his famous “Siu” celebration has been criticized by Cristiano Ronaldo, who praised the Denmark striker’s performance during their UEFA Nations League game.

Before the second leg of their quarterfinal on Saturday, Ronaldo said, “For me, it was not a problem.

He didn’t have any respect for me, I knew.

Before the clash on Sunday, the Portuguese star told reporters, “I’m smart enough to understand that not only him but people from other sports around the world also celebrate my victory.”

It is an honor for me, in my opinion.

However, I hope he can witness my celebration on Sunday. For me, that’s fine. If I get a good score, that’s good for me, but no, I don’t get a good score if someone else gets it.

Hojlund scored the winning goal against Portugal on Thursday in the opening match of their quarterfinal, and he made a leap of joy in the air for his own rendition of the “Siu” celebration, but he said he was not making fun of his “idol.”

Denmark won the first leg 1-0 over Ronaldo’s Portugal thanks to the Manchester United forward’s 78th-minute strike, with the 40-year-old veteran striker completely frozen out at the other end of the pitch.

It couldn’t be better for me to score against the world’s best football player, my idol, and win the game,” Hojlund told Denmark’s TV2 on the air.

I’ve always said that he has had a significant impact on me and my football career, not to make fun of him or anything.

I saw him in 2009, and I’ve been a fan ever since. “The scoring against him and Portugal is incredible.

No need for fear, it’s just that.

Ronaldo acknowledged the pressure Portugal are facing as they attempt to reduce their deficit.

The Al-Nassr striker believes the home crowd can play a key role in turning the tie around after taking his team’s lead in the first leg of Copenhagen.

The air has a higher tension. I’m not concealing it. We need to win because it’s in a tense moment, Ronaldo said Saturday to reporters.

I’m asking the fans to join us for tomorrow. Give them their strength, as we’ll make an effort to do our best.

“I’ve lost games in 90 minutes, but never in the first leg.” There are those kinds of games, and there are also bad ones. The other day, the team didn’t play at all, but that’s normal.

With my head high, I want to leave the Alvalade Stadium tomorrow. What I want is for Portugal to win, if I get it right, but if I don’t, let someone else get it.

Ronaldo defended the team’s lack of attitude and said it was confident they could work together and reach the semifinals.

The national team always has attitude, they say. Of course, there were technical issues, but there were also shortcomings. You can’t always play well football, he said.

There is no need for fear, they say. The past is also the past. I am aware that many people want us to lose, but I’m confident that we will achieve a positive outcome tomorrow.
