carnival. This is what Brazil showed us in the dreamy first half against South Korea in the round of 16 of the World Cup, when the scoreboard showed 0:4. The media around the world praised the Celso and also Tita, who joined in the dance in one of the goals with his players and imitated Richarlison’s penguin dance.
“The players died laughing when Tita imitated the penguin dance and moved her neck and head,” wrote ESPN Brazil. In ‘AS’ it was written: “The South Korean players just looked at the clock and begged for the referee to blow his whistle. It’s simply amazing to see the combinations and dances of the team.”
In the Brazilian Oglobo, they were enthusiastic: “Brazil beats South Korea, it was just a dance. Bolstered by the resurgent Neymar, the team began the humiliation after just eight minutes. The dominance continued with a beautiful collective move when even Tita celebrated”.
There were also those who did not enjoy watching the dances. Former player and commentator Roy Keane Said about it: “I think it’s disrespectful to dance like that every time they score. The first time is fine, but not every time. It’s disrespectful, even their coach participated, I don’t like it.”
