Tribute or provocation, this gesture quickly got people talking on social networks. Some Internet users particularly found Rees-Zammit’s attitude inappropriate, knowing that Ronaldo was perhaps in front of his television observing his compatriots’ first World Cup match. “It’s a beautiful and useless stupidity”said one of them on X.
After the match, the Welsh winger explained his celebration: “A few of my friends at home wanted me to do it. They’re big football fans, and obviously we don’t play Portugal that often. So I said if I scored I would for them.”
“It wasn’t meant to be offensive.”
The numerous Portuguese supporters present in the stands of the Allianz Riviera did not accompany Rees-Zammit’s gesture with the famous cry which generally comes down from the stands for the occasion. This seems logical. Rugby atmosphere obliges, the fans of the Wolves crossed after the meeting confided to us their surprise at the moment, but at no time took this gesture as a lack of respect.
Still in front of the journalists, Rees-Zammit, all smiles and a bit smug, wanted to clarify the situation and proclaim his love for the legend Ronaldo: “How did the Portuguese fans take it? I’m not sure, I heard a few whistles in the stands (laughs). But it wasn’t to be offensive or anything. Actually, I love Ronaldo, he’s my idol, I wear his boxers and I dress like him, and I said to myself: “why not celebrate him too?” Even in the middle of the Rugby World Cup, the round ball invites itself to the party.
