Cristiano Ronaldo needs no introduction. The man is synonymous to the sport of football for many around the world and even as he approaches the twilight of his career, there is no reduction in his fan following. The reason for this kind of fame is simple- his domination in the world of sport for year after year which has helped him build an enormous legacy for himself.
The Portugal International holds many goal-scoring, individual and team titles, records and trophies. He remains the sporting idol for several youngsters who want to go out there and achieve success in their respective sport. Other than his superb performances on the pitch and the records that speak for him, Ronaldo is also known for his attitude, his style and his antics on and off the field.
Ronaldo's celebration itself has achieved a cult status with several footballers and sporting personalities all trying to imitate that. However, not many can boast of doing it as gracefully as the man does it himself. A latest example of the same is Tran Hong Kien of Viettel FC, a Vietnamese footballer, who injured himself while trying to imitate Ronaldo's 'Siuuu' celebration after finding the back of the net.
The footballer is said to have injured himself because of an awkward landing and later had to be admitted to a hospital.
The video of the incident has surfaced on social media.
Take a look:
Meanwhile, Ronaldo is currently with the national squad for the UEFA Euro 2024 Qualifiers. He looked in fine form in the team's opening match against Liechtenstein. His first goal was a spot kick which he had no issues converting, he then scored off a free kick which put the crowd on its feet.
This was the second successive game where Ronaldo had scored on a free kick with the 38-year-old scoring a 30-yard free kick goal in his club Al-Nassr's 2-1 win over Abha in the Saudi Pro League.
