The meaning of Cristiano Ronaldo’s new celebration comes to light

The Portuguese forward celebrated his goal by “replicating his way of sleeping during the team’s away matches,” according to Manchester United

It was the 700th goal in his personal account, the first with the “red” team this season in the Premier League

Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to celebrate his 700th goal with the clubs in a different way than the Portuguese has accustomed to the public. Leaving behind his characteristic “SIUU”, including jumping, the Portuguese forward crossed his hands in the chest area and tilted his head back with his eyes closed, as if he were sleeping. As explained by his club, Ronaldo has replicated his way of resting in team travel, a gesture well known to his teammates and which is a source of laughter in the locker room. Antony, a newcomer to the squad, also wanted to celebrate the goal with his teammate and imitated his exultation, hinting at the good relationship between the two.

In a post on their website, Manchester United confirmed that their striker “he wanted to make a joke on himself, demonstrating the good relationship between partners. Only they knew the true meaning of their celebration ”

In this same statement, the English club echoed the great physical work that Cristiano Ronaldo is doing under the orders of Erik Ten Hag: “Cristiano is known for his way of taking care of himself and making sure he is always in the best possible physical condition, which naturally involves hours of hard work on the pitch and in the gym.”

This second season of Cristiano Ronaldo in England is different from the last, where the striker scored 18 goals and distributed 3 assists. In the current edition he has scored only one goal in 7 games, the one scored last day against Everton, with a secondary role under the guidance of the new Manchester United manager.
