The match between Brazil and South Korea allowed fans around the world to see the beauty of samba football . After every goal of the Brazilian team scored, the players would "supply" the audience a samba dance to celebrate the goal.
When Richarlison scored the third goal and ran to the sidelines to dance, Brazilian coach Tit also joined in.
This is the most authentic Brazilian football atmosphere, but some people actually raised their dissatisfaction - as a guest of "Sky Sports", Manchester United legends Roy Keane bluntly stated that the Brazilian team dances to celebrate every time they score goals is disrespect for their opponents.
Coincidentally, the entire 2022 European football world has always been arguing about this issue - is the dance of Brazilian players a kind of arrogance? Some even expressed their intention to ban Brazilian players from dancing.
Brazilian player danced after scoring a goal.
dance is to dance to Bailey
"Dance every time you score a goal is disrespectful to people. I don't mind twisting a few times when you score the first goal, or doing something else, but not every time. This is disrespectful to the opponent. Even their coach dances with you. I don't like this."
Keen This statement caused an uproar. Many Brazilian netizens on the Internet responded to it as soon as possible, "Brazilians do this at any time, I They dance almost all games, not making fun of anyone." "Dancing is part of Brazil's celebration culture. What's the disrespectful thing? Look at the players' greetings after the game, there is only respect for each other."
Some netizens are not so polite. They took 13 red cards from Keane's career as a counterattack. "Let's see how Roy Keane respects his opponent. He got 13 red cards, which is almost the most in British football history..."
Neymar classic "Joker" celebrates.
Regarding Keane's doubts, coach Castro from the Brazilian League Botafogo believes that the former Manchester United midfielder does not understand Brazilian culture at all, and such a speech is inappropriate.
Castro is a Portuguese who evaluates this matter from an objective perspective. "If I come to a country, I will first understand the local culture. Whether in Ukraine or Middle East , I do this. Keane does not understand Brazilian football culture and Brazilian national team."
"If Tit stays quiet in the coach's seat, if the players don't say anything after scoring a goal, I will be surprised, and all Brazilians will also be worried that the Brazilian team will use their own dance to keep the whole country in a happy mood."
reporter Draper from the British " Daily Mail " also expressed his views on this matter in the column. He believes that celebrating goals with dance makes the game less nervous.
"The pressure of knockout is very high, even when leading, but Brazil turned the game into a party in the 7th minute, and it was the dance celebration that made the tension of the game disappear."
In fact, according to Brazil's forward Rafinia , the team prepared 10 different dance moves for the goal in order to rotate in the game.
Vinitius told the media that dance is not only for himself and his fans, but also for the seriously ill king of football Pele.
"We will jump to the finals. This victory belongs to Pele. I hope he can get better. We will win Hercules Cup for him. ."
Racist prejudice
It seems that Keen is really confused about the situation, but it is not the first time that Brazilian players are criticized for dancing.
In September this year, Real Madrid defeated Mallorca 24-1. It was Vinicius who scored a goal to overtake. He then celebrated the goal with Samba. This was originally a sparse and ordinary detail of a Brazilian player. However, after the game, Pedro Bravo, chairman of the Spanish Association of Agents, actually attacked Vinicius with obvious racial discrimination.
"In Spain, you must respect your opponent and don't be a 'monkey' anymore."
Bravo's words aroused public anger for a while, and Vinicius said: "I won't stop dancing after scoring the goal."Big brother Neymar also spoke for him, "I won't be the only one who hopes Vinicius can score a goal tomorrow! "
Rodrigo danced with Vinicius after scoring a goal.
A week later, in Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid , another Brazilian player, Rodrigo, scored a goal. He quickly called Vinicius to the corner flag area and danced an impromptu dance.
Premier League arena, Brazilian striker Jesus also danced after scoring a goal, expressing his support for Vinicius from a distance. After the game, he also shared photos on social media and @Vinius - "Dance! ”
Even the king of football Bailey wrote on social media, “Football is happy, it is a dance and a party in itself. Although racism still exists, we will not be erased by it. We will continue to fight for happiness and continue to fight racial discrimination. ”
In addition to Brazilian players, there are also non-Brazilian insiders on Vinicius' side. For example, Real Madrid coach Ancelotti expressed his position by dancing with the players.
Arsenal forward Jesus danced after scoring a goal to support his compatriots.
Can white players dance? ml5
But it is undeniable that there are not a few people who are racist like Bravo. During the fermentation of the incident, some extreme fans on social media even used racist remarks to storm Vinicius online.
Considering that some white players also have precedents to celebrate with dance, such as the "L-shaped dance" of French star Griezmann, a fanatical fan of "Fortnite", has become a personal logo. But we have been at peace...
You can only believe that the essence of the event is not whether you use dancing to celebrate the goal, but who is dancing.
Pelese post.
In the La Liga arena, not only black players like Vinicius are discriminated against, Chinese player Wu Lei staged During his debut, there were also bad intentions in the stands for discriminatory gestures; Brazilian player Alves would encounter bananas thrown by the opponent's fans when he took a corner kick...
Similar incidents are not uncommon. Alves once said: "Gentlemen, the real problem is that Europe is full of racists, and they do not accept that other ethnic groups are more prominent than them. I have experienced (racism) in almost every place there. ”
Ronaldo posted.
Dance will not disrespect anyone
However, there are currently media with similar views as Keen.
Korean media World Journal and East Asia Ilbo both said that after every goal, Brazilians will go to dance. Is this provocation or culture? In addition to criticizing Brazilian players, the article is also dissatisfied with the Brazilian head coach Tit joining the dance.
Tit himself responded to the related topic after the game, "I told Richarlison that if you let me do it (dance celebration), I will do it as I do. But we must also be careful, because many people will say that this is an act of disrespecting the opponent. "
It sounds like the Brazilian coach has long predicted the possible discordant sounds, but he is eager to celebrate the victory with the Brazilian people.
Ronaldo once said, "Dance will not disrespect anyone, only racism will." " A passage from Brazilian netizens once again defines the samba dance in the football field:
" In Brazil, dancing to celebrate goals is a custom. Many Brazilian players grew up in poor environments. Football and dance make them optimistic. We don't need the British media to tell us how to keep humble. "
" We dance when we celebrate, which is part of Brazilian culture, we don't want to hurt anyone, aiming to bring joy to life. ”
