I Grew Up Loving Ronaldo – Nicolas Jackson

Chelsea striker, Nicolas Jackson has come out to say that he loved Cristiano Ronaldo as a child. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he had Ronaldo‘s name on a shirt he always bore back in the day because he always loved to pretend he was Cristiano.

Jackson added that he did not just start doing the SIU celebration as a Blue, he celebrated that way even at Villarreal.

His words, “When I was growing up, I loved Cristiano Ronaldo. I had his name on a shirt that I always wore. Not an actual shirt because they are expensive, so you don’t buy them. But I had a shirt that I put 7, Ronaldo on with a pen. I did it myself when I was a kid.”

“Of course, I would pretend to be him, but it was difficult to watch his games because you needed to pay. We would go to my friend’s house, everybody. We would watch in a large group, never just with one person in the house. All my friends, we’d all go to one house to watch Real Madrid.”

“I always did his celebration, even when I was at Villarreal and I scored two goals. So when I got a hat-trick, I had to do it. Now I’ll only do it for hat-tricks, not every goal.”

“It was my first career hat-trick. It was very special. The ball is in my lounge so everyone can see it. I hope there will be many more, but the first one is always very important and I will try to keep it very safe.”
