Was he thrilled by Tottenham striker Brennan Johnson's consecutive goals. A surprise composite photo was posted on Tottenham's official account, catching the attention of fans.
Tottenham's official Instagram posted an exquisite composite photo of Johnson and Ronaldo on the 4th (Korea time). The explanation of the post is also simple and clear. 'Honjosin' Ronaldo's nickname was 'Hodon God' and Johnson's John. It is a praise that Johnson performed a performance reminiscent of Ronaldo.
Johnson's distinct features and Ronaldo's excellent harmony when he led the Brazilian national soccer team to victory at the 2002 World Cup in Korea-Japan. Tottenham captain Son Heung-min also drew attention when a composite photo of Ronaldo's perilla leaf hair was released in 2022.
Johnson replaced Timo Werner in the 20th minute of the second round of the European Europa League (UEL) phase of the 2024-2025 season against Ferencvaros at the Grupama Arena in Budapest, Hungary, with Pape Sarr's first goal in the 23rd minute of the first half leading 1-0.
Johnson scored an additional goal to seal the victory in the 36th minute of the second half. Johnson, who received James Maddison's pass from the right diagonal point inside the opponent's penalty box, cut the net with a sharp left-footed shot that cut the bottom left of the goal.

Johnson, who has been criticized for being silent ever since the opening, scored his first goal of the season against Coventry on September 19 and then scored five consecutive goals against Ferencvaros, following Brentford, Karabakh and Manchester United.
He contributed to his team's fifth consecutive win with a come-from-behind goal against Brentford, an early first goal against Karabakh and Manchester United, and a net goal against Ferenc Barlow. Hungary also showed a strong sense of goal. Tottenham allowed Varga to score a chasing goal in the 45th minute of the second half, but won 2-0 by defending Johnson's winning goal to the end. With two wins, he jumped to third place in the Europa League.
Son Heung-min, the captain and main striker, was absent due to a hamstring injury in the match against Manchester United and Ferenc Barlow. Johnson claimed to be the ace in the game without Son Heung-min. Tottenham manager Engie Postecoglou raised his thumb, saying Johnson is playing a role as a game changer.
Johnson, who has established a solid position, aims to score six consecutive goals and three consecutive league goals in an away game against Brighton in the seventh round of the EPL on the 7th. On this day, there is a possibility that Son Heung-min will return from his injury.
