The Ghana international took inspiration from his mentor and mimicked his goal celebration when he scored against Juventus on Wednesday
Ghana forward Emmanuel Gyasi joined the SIUUU celebration always done by Cristiano Ronaldo when he scored his second league goal of the season as Spezia Calcio suffered a 3-2 home defeat to Juventus on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old scored for Spezia when he powerfully sent in a shot by the 33rd minute to cancel Moise Kean’s opening goal for Juventus.
Gyasi quickly went to celebrate in front of the home fans where some few Juventus supporters were also watching the game from and did the Ronaldo’s SUIII celebration.

Although, Spezia took the lead after the break through Janis Antiste on the 49th minute, Federico Chiesa restored parity for Juventus by the 66th minute and Mathias de Ligt scored the match winner for Juventus.
Gyasi lasted the entire 90 minutes with a goal and had one shot on target. He had 37 touches, one key pass and 80 per cent pass accuracy. Also, he won one duel, made two tackles and one interception.
While Ronaldo was with Juventus last season, he interestingly explained why he always celebrate by jumping up in the air and screaming ‘SIUUU’ as he landed on the ground.
“I started to say ‘Si’, which is like ‘yes’ when I was at Real Madrid. When we win, everyone says ‘SIUUU’ and I started to say it, I don’t know why. It was natural,” said Ronaldo to DAZN Italia.
“I scored a goal and I did that [the celebration]. People asked me why did I do it and I don’t know why. It was natural! Because I always say, the best things come in a natural way,” added the Portuguese.
Gyasi got a jersey from Ronaldo as a gift and he has since kept in contact with him even though the Portugal captain has left Juventus to join Manchester United in Premier League.
