Cristiano Ronaldo Said that they have “no problem” Ritual On Thursday, Portugal performed its famous “SIU” festival after scoring Denmark’s victory.
Hoslund scored the only goal in the first phase of his UEFA Rashtra League Quarter Final in Copenhagen. After finding the net, the Manchester United Striker ran towards the corner and demonstrated Ronaldo’s trademark festival, while the man saw it famous.
Hosland later explained that he did not intend to make fun of Ronaldo by describing the five -time Bellon D’Or winner as his “idol”.
And speaking ahead of the second phase of Sundays between the teams in Lisbon, Ronaldo closed any issue between the two.
“Never mind, it’s no problem for me,” he said during Portugal’s pre-game news conference. “I knew that it is not because he is not respected for me, certainly not. I am enough to understand that not only him but other players all over the world celebrate me. It is an honor for me.
Then he added with a smile: “But I hope he can see my celebration tomorrow.”
The Al Nasar Striker was highly important for the performance of himself and his team in the first phase, but he is confident that the house crowd could play an important role in turning the tie.
“The wind is more stressful. I’m not hiding it. We are in a stressful moment because we need to win, but it’s a beautiful thing about football,” Ronaldo said.
“Tomorrow, I am calling fans to stay with us. Let them give us your strength, because we are going to try to perform our best.
“I have lost the game in 90 minutes, but I have never lost in the first phase. There are such games, there are bad days. I did not play the second day, the team did not play at all, but it is part of life.
“Tomorrow I want to leave the Alvalde Stadium with my head. If I score, I will be happy, but if I do not score, let someone else score what I want to win Portugal.”
Ronaldo denied the lack of any attitude in the team and was convinced that they could unite and progress in the semi -finals.
“The national team always has an attitude. The technical aspect, of course, but also there was a lack of other things. It’s football, you can not always play well,” he said.
“The atmosphere was either not favorable. I have played 50,000 poor games, and therefore the team is. Our players, who are used to play in big stages, have also played poor games. It is part of it.
“No need to panic. The past is the past. I know there are many people who want to lose us, but if some people are united and good energy, I am sure we will get a great result tomorrow.”
Ronaldo also defended coach Roberto Martinez, who has been criticized by some pundits and fans.
“I think it is unfair to criticize the coach, because we are all in the same boat,” said 40 -year -old.
“We lost the game and played badly, but we have a second leg tomorrow. Calm down. Think positively and think things will be good.”
