Hojlund sent Jorge Jesus a message after the match between Dinamarca y Portugal, which Portugal won 4-2. Rasmus Hojlund had brought the teams level, but it was his celebration that attracted most of the attention: he performed the “SIUUUUU” associated with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The celebration was intended as a show of support for the Portuguese player, who is facing a difficult situation with his national team. After the match, Hojlund greeted Jorge Jesus, Portugal’s coach. A gesture that followed prompted speculation; several observers believe Hojlund pushed him. That interpretation has been described as a shared impression, rather than an established fact.
The Danish striker explained his celebration: “I only wanted to send a strong message to the Portuguese national team. If they do not recognise Cristiano Ronaldo’s worth, there are many people around the world whom he has inspired and who continue to admire him.” He also stressed his respect for Ronaldo: “Cristiano has shaped entire generations, and for me, he always deserves respect. It is also a way for me to show my admiration.”
Two days earlier, Cristiano Ronaldo had left his national team’s camp, prompting debate over whether his decision was right. Against that backdrop, Hojlund’s gesture took on added significance. Manu Carreño, meanwhile, said the Portuguese had not found a way to overcome his ego, while Hojlund defended his position.
