Emmanuel Gyasi, a forward born in Italy representing the Ghana national team, revealed a gesture from Cristiano Ronaldo in the match between Spezia and Juventus on March 2nd that left him in shock.
The Ghanaian mentioned that he entered his team's locker room and Cristiano Ronaldo was there to give him his jersey from "Vecchia Signora" after not doing so in their first meeting in November.
"When he approached me, he hugged me and asked how I was. I felt very happy. During the match, I remember being very nervous because we were playing well and the score was 0-0. He sent a ball over the post and I saw him enter the tunnel after the break, and I thought he wouldn't give me the jersey. But when I entered the locker room, waiting for me, I was in shock. We gathered and talked," Emmanuel Gyasi said to As.
"For me, he is an idol and it was a dream come true. He is my idol and I always dreamed of sharing the field with him. I never thought it would happen so soon. I remember the first match. I went to see it, we talked, but unfortunately he couldn't give me his jersey," the Ghanaian recalled.
"In the second game, just before starting, he approached me and asked 'Gyasi, how are you?'. I was in shock. How is it possible that you remember me? I was surprised because I couldn't believe it. Cristiano remembered me after such a long time," he concluded.
