No problem with Hojlund mimicking celebration - Ronaldo

Rasmus Hojlund came off the bench to score a 78th minute winner for Denmark in Copenhagen

Cristiano Ronaldo says he has "no problem" with Denmark striker Rasmus Hojlund copying his "siu" celebration after scoring the winner against Portugal on Thursday.

Manchester Uniteds Hojlund said he was not mocking his "idol" Ronaldo after the 1-0 victory in the first leg of their Nations League quarter-final.

Five-time Ballon dOr winner Ronaldo said he does not think Hojlund was being disrespectful.

"For me, it is not a problem," the Portugal captain, 40, said before Sundays second leg in Lisbon.

"This is not because he dont have respect for me. Im smart enough to understand that not only him, but around the world, other sportspeople do it, my celebration.

"For me, its an honour. But I hope that tomorrow you can see my celebration, not [that] I still see his celebration."

The Al-Nassr forward says the "air is more tense" around the Portugal team after a poor performance in the first leg and defended coach Roberto Martinez.

"I think its unfair to criticise the coach, because were all in the same boat," said the former Real Madrid and United player.

"We lost the game and played badly, but we have the second leg tomorrow. Calm down. Think positive and think that things will go well."
