Roy Keane unimpressed with ‘disrespectful’ behaviour as Brazil thumps South Korea 4-1
Tite said that his dance celebration during Brazil’s 4-1 victory over South Korea was a display of unadulterated delight, while Roy Keane criticized the behavior and compared it to watching a Strictly Come Dancing episode.
After Richarlison gave the five-time world champions a 3-0 lead inside of 30 minutes, Brazil’s players hurried over to the dugout, and head coach Tite temporarily joined in dance.
In a scorching exhibition of offensive football, Brazil went on to score once more before the break, but Keane, speaking on ITV, was not amused by their antics.
The Sky Sports analyst said, “I can’t believe what I’m watching, it’s like watching Strictly.”
“This is not my style. It’s their culture, people claim. However, in my opinion, that seriously disrespects the opposition. There are four goals, and they consistently accomplish them.
“I don’t mind the first jig so much; it’s the next one with the manager interfering. I’m not pleased with it. It isn’t at all good, in my opinion.
However, following the game, Brazil’s coach Tite was eager to emphasize that his team did not intend to offend South Korea and that the celebrations will help him build a stronger bond with his youthful team.
There is only one possible interpretation, according to him: joy at the goal, joy for the squad, and joy at the performance.
“Neither the opposition nor [South Korea coach] Paulo Bento, whom I greatly respect, were disrespected.
Brazil advanced to the World Cup quarterfinals with a decisive 4-1 victory at Stadium 974, where they will take on Croatia on Friday.
