Brazil vs South Korea: Roy Keane accused Brazil of “disrespecting” South Korea as they celebrated after Brazil vs South Korea’s win. Brazil boss Tite defends himself and his team after showing off his dance moves in a 4-1 victory.
Brazil’s national soccer team crushed the Asian team on Monday, making its way to the quarterfinals of the World Cup. La Selecao scored 4 goals at half-time, and as soon as Richarlison kicked the ball into the net, the 61-year-old jumped in celebration. He and his boys had fun dancing and imitating the popular pigeon dance of the Tottenham Hotspur striker during the Brazil vs. South Korea match.
While some people liked the action and style, Roy Keane was definitely not among them. Speaking on ITV at halftime, the Manchester United star added that he didn’t like it. Keane saw it as a disrespectful act towards the opposing team during the Brazil vs. South Korea match.
“I’m not happy with it, I don’t think it’s very good at all.” Roy Keane
The Brazilian team repeated their action after each goal. Ally McCoist also didn’t like having the coach join.
Brazil vs South Korea: the Brazilian coach, Tite, explains the celebration
In the post-match of Brazil vs South Korea, Tite commented on the incident, saying that he is just trying to fit in with his players. The Brazil coach explains how much the players like to joke, dance and have fun. Tite’s team made him learn these dance steps. “There are several people who will say that it was disrespectful. I know there is always a camera and I didn’t want it to be misunderstood.”
It seems that Tite just wanted to strengthen his bond with his team. The coach was very impressed with the performance of his team during the Brazil vs. South Korea match. Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior scored the team’s first goal after 7 minutes. Brazil were awarded a penalty in the 13th minute, which Neymar successfully kicked into the net.
It was around the 29th minute when Richarlison scored his third goal of the competition in the Brazil vs. South Korea match. West Ham midfielder Lucas Paquetá was not wrong to score the fourth for the team, although the second half was completely different. South Korean substitute Sung-Ho Paik broke through Brazil’s defense to score his only goal of the match.
Brazil also achieved this feat before. It was in 1954 against Mexico, when the Selecao scored 4 goals in the first half of the game.
After winning the quarterfinals, Brazil will face Croatia on Friday. There is still a chance of a classic battle between Argentina and Brazil in the last four!
