Brazil boss Tite hits back at Roy Keane after slamming celebrations as disrespectful

Brazil boss Tite hit back at Roy Keane after the Irishman slammed their celebrations in their win over South Korean.

The Brazilians looked brilliant in their 4-1 win over their opponents and after each of their goals busted out a samba dance.

And boss Tite joined in on the dance after the goals but led to Roy Keane criticising the side.

Speaking on ITV, he said: "I can't believe what I'm watching, it's like watching Strictly.
"I don't like this. People say it's their culture. But I think that's really disrespecting the opposition. It's four goals, and they are doing it every time.


"I don't mind so much the first jig, it's the one after that, and the manager getting involved. I'm not happy about it. I don't think it's good at all."

And Brazil boss Tite hit back at Keane.

He said: "I have to be careful because there are always the nasty ones who say it is disrespect. It is a demonstration of joy, a celebration."

Brazil will now face Croatia in the World Cup quarter finals.
