Brazil turn on ‘evil executioner’ Roy Keane over criticism of World Cup dancing

Roy Keane has come under fire in Brazil after calling the country’s World Cup stars “disrespectful” for their dance celebrations against South Korea.

Brazil stormed into the quarter-finals after crushing South Korea within 36 minutes of Monday night’s round of 16 tie, with goals from Vinicius Jr, Neymar, Richarlison and Lucas Paquetá sending them into half-time 4 -0 for good.

Despite their clear dominance of the night, Tite’s men did not get tired of celebrating each goal with some showy dance steps, and even the coach himself got involved at one point.

Those antics clearly riled Keane, who lashed out at the Brazilian players involved, accusing them of disrespecting their dejected opponents in Qatar.

Keane was left furious with the dancing of the Brazil players in their 4-1 win against South Korea.

“I don’t like this,” he said on ITV Sport. ‘People say it’s their culture. But I think that is really disrespecting the opposition.

There are four goals, and they are doing it every time.

‘I don’t care so much about the first dance, it’s the next one, and the manager gets involved. I’m not happy about it. I don’t think it’s good at all.

However, Keane’s criticism now appears to have earned him villainous status in Brazil, as the country’s media and fans have turned on the Manchester United legend.

Keane is taking shots from all angles on Tuesday, with his own football career and pundit skills in the crosshairs.

Leading television channel in Brazil sports tnt wrote on Twitter: ‘HELLO ROY KEANE! DON’T YOU LIKE DANCES? BITE YOUR BACK! THIS RIGHT HERE IS BRAZIL!

See if you can do something like that! Even Tite will dance here! Like it or not.’

Brazil boss Tite even danced alongside his players after Richarlison’s goal that night.

Brazilian television channel TNT Sports responded to Keane by saying on Twitter: “This here is Brazil!”

Another Brazilian announcer, balloonshe responded to Keane’s criticism by looking back on some of his lowest moments as a player.

His report, which describes him as the ‘executioner’ after his goal against Palmeiras in the 1999 Intercontinental Cup final, takes a closer look at the most controversial incidents of his career, including his bitter consequences with the head of the Republic. of Ireland, Mick McCarthy, in the 2002 World Cup and the infamous gruesome tackle that ended Alf-Inge Haaland’s career.

Luis Castro, the head coach of Brazilian Serie A club Botafogo, called Keane “inelegant” and said he simply does not understand the country’s culture.

Castro said on sportv, via balloons: ‘Roy Keane doesn’t understand Brazilian football culture. He does not understand the Brazilian team. So, he talks in an inelegant way because of what happened today.

We all know that this is not disrespectful to anyone. Celebrating the players is not disrespecting anyone. Which shows that there is a great union between the coach and the players. And a set of synergies that can catapult a team to great achievements.’

An article in Brazil highlighted some of Keane’s lowest moments as a player, including this infamous career-ending tackle on Alf-Inge Haaland.

History also called him the ‘Palmeiras executioner’ after his goal against the Brazilian club in Man United’s 1999 Intercontinental Cup final victory.

Luis Castro, who now manages Brazil’s Serie A side Botafogo, says Keane simply doesn’t understand the country’s soccer culture.

However, the fiercest comments directed at Keane came on social media, where the Irishman was described as ‘irrelevant’ and a ‘butcher who never knew how to control a football’, among other insults.

One wrote on Twitter about his challenge to Haaland: ‘Fun fact: Roy Keane was the author of one of the most unfair moves in football. In revenge for a dispute, he gave this ticket to Alf-Inge Haaland, Haaland’s father, who had to finish his career. To this day he says he has no regrets.

Another said: ‘Do the Irish care what our former players think of their national team? Fuck Roy Keane’s opinion about celebrating Brazilians. He doesn’t interest anyone, he doesn’t have the slightest relevance, he doesn’t change anything. Fuck this. Sorry for the bad manners.

Orlando Calheiros, a podcast host with a PhD in social anthropology, also weighed in, saying: ‘You’re giving Roy Keane, one of the biggest pig’s feet in world football, too much of a leash. If he had been born in Brazil, he would have played a maximum of five, six seasons, at most, in the Brazilian first division, in Botafogo for life.

Keane also received widespread criticism from Brazilians on Twitter after his criticism of the team.

Rafael Belattini, one of Brazil’s NFL commentators, said: ‘Few things are more irrelevant than Roy Keane’s opinion of the Brazilian team. Do you translate Vampeta’s comments about the English team in England? Because Vampeta has a Cup, at least…’

Brazil boss Tite has also spoken out about the allegations of disrespect shown by his side in Qatar, calling such claims “evil.”

“You have to learn to go through the motions,” he said at his post-match press conference. And the movements are very tight!

Although I have to be very careful. There are evil people who will say that it was disrespectful.
