On December 6, Beijing time, in the 1/8 finals of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Brazil defeated South Korea 4-1 and successfully advanced to the top 8 of the World Cup. In this game, the Brazilian team played smoothly and led South Korea 4-0 in the 36th minute of the first half. The two teams were not on the same level at all.
In this game, the players of the Brazilian team were very excited. After Vinicius opened the scoring, the entire Brazilian team danced in a circle to celebrate, and then Rafinha, Vinicius, Paqueta and Neymar performed a four-person samba. After Richarlison scored, he even went to the bench to dance and celebrate with teammate Alves, head coach Tite and others.
The samba performed by the Brazilian team after scoring a goal won praise from many fans. But there are also people who have criticized the Brazilian team. He is Manchester United star Roy Keane. As a guest on Sky Sports, Roy Keane questioned Brazil's celebrations after scoring. He believes that the Brazilian team's behavior of dancing to celebrate every goal is disrespectful to their opponents.
“I think it’s disrespectful to dance every time a goal is scored, I don’t mind a few twists on the first goal or something, but not every time. It’s disrespectful The opponent's. Even their coach danced with it. "
In fact, the debate about Brazilian players dancing after scoring has been going on for a long time. Especially in La Liga, Brazilian players such as Vinicius and Rodrygo have been criticized for this. For this reason, many Brazilian players choose to dance and celebrate after scoring goals to support their compatriots.
This time in the World Cup, the Brazilian players showed their samba dance to the world. This is just their attitude towards football and does not disrespect their opponents.
Judging from the results, this match day was not friendly to Asian teams. Japan and South Korea were eliminated together. So far, all Asian teams have been eliminated. The Japanese team and the Korean team, who have been in love and fighting each other for many years, are both losers on this day. But because they tried their best, they received a lot of applause and cheers after their failure.
Perhaps, the reaction of these fans is the charm of football. On the green field, there is not only victory or defeat, but also those who work hard and run, no matter what the result is, they are worthy of respect.
