Footballer of the Portuguese national team and Saudi Al-Nasr Cristiano Ronaldo spoke about the meaning of the company’s goal celebration, FourFourTwo reports.
What does the signature “Siu!” mean? Ronaldo?
““Siu!” means “Yes!”, quite simple, but with a strong message,” Ronaldo explained. The forward called this phrase a phenomenon and noted that he likes it when other players and children repeat it.
Let us remind you that after a goal, Ronaldo runs to the corner flag, jumps high, turning 180 degrees in the air, throws his arms back and shouts “Siu!” The footballer’s phrase has become a meme, and he often repeats it — not only after scoring goals:
Why did Ronaldo start celebrating goals like this?
According to Ronaldo, it all started when he joined Real Madrid, whose colors he defended from 2009 to 2018. In the Spanish team, all the players shouted “Siu!” after the goals.
The final version of the celebration took shape during pre-season training. Then Real Madrid fought with London’s Chelsea in Los Angeles, USA. And Ronaldo celebrated the goal with an iconic jump:
“People asked me, ‘Why did you do that?’ Don’t know. I did it, everything happened involuntarily. I always say that the best things happen by themselves,” the striker admitted.
Let us remind you that Ronaldo moved to Al-Nasr on December 30, 2022. The forward’s contract is for two years, but he plans to retire soon. Cristiano’s salary at the club is 200 million euros a year, although not everyone in the country is happy with his performances.
