The friendship of Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo is considered one of the best in the soccer world. The duo developed a strong bond while playing for Real Madrid in the last decade. So much so, that the Brazilian almost joined the Portuguese at his new club, Al-Nassr. The Brazilian’s son has also followed him on the same path and eagerly loves Ronaldo.
Enzo Alves, Marcelo’s eldest son, was recently seen doing the ‘Siuuu’ celebration at his convocation ceremony. The young lad did the celebration with extreme vigor and passion as the audience gave him a round of applause.
The 13-year-old is a budding soccer player and signed a contract with Real Madrid last year. Even though Marcelo was a defender, his son followed Ronaldo’s path to become a forward player. The youngster operates on the right wing for Real Madrid’s academy but is comfortable on the left side as well.

Enzo has impressed one and all during his stint at Real Madrid. He was recently called up to the Spain U-15 squad after some good performances. This was done after he snubbed his father’s playing nation, Brazil, and chose to play for Spain.
Alongside soccer, Enzo is also serious about his education and continues to study hard. He recently completed his graduation and was clipped mimicking Ronaldo on the stage. The video of the celebration went viral on the internet hours after its upload.
Marcelo’s son is a massive Cristiano Ronaldo fan
This isn’t the first time that Marcelo’s son has mimicked Ronaldo’s celebration. But the youngster has done it numerous times as he is a huge Ronaldo fan. He was previously captured doing the celebration in an academy game for Real Madrid.

The video of the celebration went viral last year as Enzo scored a towering header for his academy. After the goal, he could be seen mimicking Ronaldo while his father also did the same. The goal scored by Enzo was a thumping header and Ronaldo would be proud of it.
Marcelo would hope that his son would reach the heights that his former teammate had. Ronaldo and Marcelo were part of the incredible Real Madrid squad that won the UCL three times in a row. They were both pivotal in the incredible wins of the Spanish side during their reign over Europe.
It is incredible to see the impact Ronaldo has on young players such as Enzo. Every youngster aspires to emulate Ronaldo but there will rarely be anyone who can. The records set by the Portuguese would take huge efforts to be broken, as he ruled the soccer world for over a decade.
