The 'colorfulness' of the Brazilian team
(Baonghean.vn) - Immediately after defeating the Korean team with a score of 4 - 1 to advance to the quarter-finals, the team nicknamed "The Samba Dancers" received a lot of criticism from the public.
Possessing a series of famous stars in the squad, the Brazilian team is one of the centers of attention at the 2022 World Cup. In addition to being a strong candidate for the throne, coach Tite's students also make fans "dazzled" with outstanding hairstyles and skillful, fun dances.

Neymar, Antony and Richarlison always "stand out from the crowd" with their usual platinum hair. Especially every time they score a goal, the Brazilian players jump together to celebrate. Even outside the pitch, coach Tite and his colleagues do not hesitate to do so.
In the recent match against the Korean team in the round of 16, Neymar and his teammates had 4 times to show off their dancing skills in front of the fans and... the sadness of their opponents. It is worth mentioning that the time between their jumps was too close together (4 times/29 minutes). Therefore, for many people, it brought a feeling of boredom and discomfort, instead of joy and excitement.

In front of the press, former Man United and Ireland midfielder Roy Keane did not hesitate to criticize the goal celebration of coach Tite and his team: "I do not like that dance at all. I think that doing that is disrespectful to the opponent. Well, it was only done once, but even their coach joined in the dance. It was disrespectful."
In fact, coach Tite and his team did not disrespect their Korean teammates. Because the purpose of them dancing together after each goal was to support Vinicius - who has suffered racial discrimination in Spain in the past, especially from Atletico Madrid fans. The reason why the star born in 2000 was discriminated against was because... he loved to dance too much.
Surely criticism like Roy Keane's will not bother Neymar and his teammates. They will still dance every time they score a goal. If coach Tite and his team win the 2022 World Cup, more than 200 million Brazilians will take to the streets to dance with them. If Brazilians do not like to dance, how can they have the "Samba dance"?
