Napoli forward Rasmus Højlund’s father, Anders Højlund, revealed the source of his son’s inspiration in football. The 22-year-old footballer has mentioned several times in interviews that Cristiano Ronaldo is the player he looks up to.
According to his father, it was the Portuguese star who inspired Rasmus to pursue a football career. “I remember well, the first time Rasmus told me about his desire to become a footballer.
At that moment, we were sitting in his room in front of a Ronaldo poster. Rasmus looked at me and said, ‘I want to be like Cristiano.’
But I told him that it’s not an easy path,” said Anders Højlund in an interview with Il Mattino. This summer, Rasmus Højlund moved on loan from Manchester United to Napoli, and according to the deal, the club later signed him on a mandatory purchase option.
