The Brazilian coach danced to celebrate the goal with the player
In the 29th minute, Richarlison raised the score to 3-0 for Brazil after a great combination. After celebrating his own table, he ran to the technical area - where the substitute player and coach Tite were already waiting. As soon as Richarlison ran over, the whole Brazilian team and Tite put their hands on their hips, jumping and shaking their heads like a dove. This is the signature dance of the striker playing for Tottenham club.
Tite's daughter-in-law explained that the Brazilian coach danced with his students because of a previous promise if Richarlison scored. "My father-in-law made a promise and kept it. The dance was amazing," said Ms. Fernanda Bacchi.
Brazil led 4-0 after just 36 minutes and the match ended since then. The players in yellow shirts and blue pants all danced happily at all four goals. Korea only recovered one goal with Paik Seung-Ho's great long-range shot in the 76th minute. The result helped Brazil into the quarter-finals against Croatia. This is also the eighth World Cup in a row they have reached the final round of 8 teams.
The dance of Tite and Brazil caused mixed reactions in public opinion. Former midfielder Roy Keane said that action was disrespectful to the opponent. "I've never seen a team jump that much," the former Man Utd captain told the BBC. "I can't believe my eyes, it's like I'm watching a dance competition. I don't like those dances at all. Each team's culture is different, but this act is disrespectful to the opponent. That's not good. little bit".
British Nigerian striker Eniola Aluko disagrees with Keane's views. She said: "I like those dances again, it's like we're at a Brazilian party. Because Korea made the match easy against Brazil, like Neymar's penalty. Brazil will dance, even though the opponent will. Who is".
Brazil received a penalty when midfielder Jung Woo-young kicked Richarlison's foot hard in an attempt to clear the ball without observation. Thanks to that, Neymar took a penalty to make it 2-0, and also scored his first goal in the 2022 World Cup. The other two goalscorers for Brazil are Vinicius and Lucas Paqueta.
