The Kashima Antlers have their own Cristiano Ronaldo, Yuma Suzuki, and he's promised to celebrate like Real Madrid's No.7 if he finds the net in the Club World Cup final on Sunday.
Suzuki is immediately distinguished from the rest of his teammates and is considered one of the jewels of Japanese football.
"He's the one with two lines on his head, like CR7," the Japanese press said after Friday's training session, and after scoring against Atletico Nacional in the semi final, he imitated Ronaldo's 'Siiiiiuuuu' celebration.
"It's not the first time I've done it," he told MARCA.
"What happened is that a lot of people thought I wouldn't dare to do it at the Club World Cup.
"But they asked me and I couldn't disappoint them, and I won't again if I score on Sunday."
However, the player doesn't want to be misunderstood and uses Ronaldo as an example.
"When he came to play the Club World Cup with Manchester United eight years ago, I went to the hotel to get an autograph and then went with my father to see him play against Osaka," he recalled.
"It's an honour to play against Cristiano, but when the game starts I'll be professional and do my job.
"I will try to play a great game and I will only see him as an opponent."
The match against Real Madrid is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the players of Kashima.
Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that one day they would play against a team who they consider to be the best in the world.
"We are very excited because this is a historic opportunity," Suzuki continued.
"We know it is a game that's going to be seen all over the world and that is an incentive for us.
"It's incredible, there are almost no words to express it."
Most will make Real favourites for the title but Suzuki thinks his team can spring a surprise.
"I think so," he said.
"We are training very well and we have already shown Atletico Nacional that we know how to play.
"Madrid is the best team in the world but we're going to do everything we can to make things difficult for them.
"It's a historic match for us and for all Japanese football."
