Former player Roy Keane criticized the dances performed by Brazilian players to celebrate the goals scored against South Korea, this Monday, 5th, in a match for the round of 16 of the World Cup. The Manchester United idol classified the dances as “disrespectful” in comments to the itv1🇧🇷
The Irishman, who is currently a commentator on British TV, also complained that Tite had participated in one of the national team’s celebrations, when the coach did the pigeon dance with Richarlison and the other players.
“I can’t believe what I’m seeing. I’ve never seen so much dancing. It’s like watching Strictly [Come Dancing, que é como uma Dança dos Famosos]”, he said.

“I know there’s a culture point, but I think it’s really disrespectful to the opponent. There are four [gols] and they do every time. The first dance or whatever they do, fine. And then the technician gets involved. I’m not happy about it. I don’t think that’s a good thing,” he added.
Brazil’s first goal in the match, scored by Vini Jr., was celebrated with the dance of the Pagodão do Birimbola, by the group from Niterói (RJ) Os Quebradeiras. The goal against the South Koreans also featured Neymar, Lucas Paquetá and Raphinha celebrating, in support of the Baila Vini campaign. The team decided to dance to protest against the case of racism suffered by Vinicius Jr.
In Spain, the Real Madrid player was attacked during a local sports program in September, after celebrating a goal by doing the famous “dancing”. One commentator stated that the athlete needed to stop “monkeying” and “respect” his professional colleagues.
The Brazilian team thrashed South Korea by 4 to 1. Now, Brazil goes to the quarterfinals and will face Croatia, who beat Japan on penalties. The match will take place next Friday, the 9th, at 12h (Brasília time), at the Cidade da Educação Stadium, in Doha, Qatar.
