SIUU™ Celebration System — operation guide
The SIUU™ Module engages automatically upon goal confirmation. No user input required.
Standard activation sequence:
- Ball crosses goal line (manual or VAR-assisted confirmation accepted)
- Unit performs 360° spin jump, minimum height 0.4m
- Arms extend to full lateral span
- Trademark vocalization: "SIUUUUU" (duration variable, factory range: 1.8–4.2 seconds)
- Landing pose: arms down, chin up, eyes closed
WARNING: Do not attempt to suppress SIUU™ activation. Unit cannot be stopped mid-sequence. Opponents who have attempted interference report existential confusion.
Known bug: Module also activates for assists in particularly satisfying wins. Manufacturer considers this a feature.
Maintenance schedule
The CR-41 has one of the lowest maintenance-to-performance ratios in the industry. 1
| Interval | Required action |
|---|---|
| Daily | Cold bath (ice), 7+ hours sleep, low-body-fat diet protocol |
| Weekly | Cardiovascular and resistance training (7 sessions minimum) |
| Quarterly | Full MRI of both hamstrings, precautionary |
| Annual | Body fat measurement (current: 7%); results posted to Instagram |
| Never | Rest. Unit does not recognize this mode. |
The CR-41 underwent cardiac ablation surgery at age 15 after a tachycardia diagnosis, was discharged within hours, and resumed training days later. 1 Manufacturer notes this as first-ever documented instance of post-surgery speedrun.

Disposal instructions
DO NOT ATTEMPT.
Unit is not compatible with disposal procedures. Previous attempts to phase out the CR-41 (2022 Manchester United contract termination, 2023 Saudi transfer, every retirement rumor from 2013 onward) resulted in unit reactivating at a new club within 3 months, posting a hat-trick, and gaining 12 million Instagram followers during the transition period.
If unit retirement becomes necessary, manufacturer recommends a formal ceremony at the Estádio da Luz, Lisbon, minimum 65,000 attendees, live SIUU™ demonstration included. Planning for this event is, per unit, "not happening."
