By India Today Web Desk: Former Irish footballer Roy Keane lashed out at Brazil for his or her purpose celebrations within the FIFA World Cup 2022 match in opposition to South Korea on Monday, December 5 at Stadium 974 – Ras Abu Aboud.

Brazil defeated South Korea 4-1 within the Round of 16 and made their approach via to the quarterfinals the place they’ll lock horns with Croatia, who earlier defeated Japan on penalties at Al Janoub Stadium.

As far as their celebrations are involved, the Brazilian gamers, together with subs, shaped circles and jumped earlier than displaying off their dance strikes.

However, the 51-year-old Keane reckoned that the celebrations have been extremely disrespectful in direction of the opposition.

“[Fellow pundit] Eni [Aluko] has made the point about culture and it’s their way, but I think it’s really disrespectful to the opposition. It’s 4-0 and they’re doing it every time. I don’t mind the first little jig or whatever it is they’re doing,” Keane was quoted as saying on ITV.

“It’s the one after that, and then the manager getting involved in it! I’m not happy with it. I don’t think it’s good at all. Disrespectful,” he acknowledged.

Former Scottish footballer Ally McCoist, within the meantime, had a unique opinion to that of Keane. He mentioned that the Brazilians didn’t do any mistaken and it was solely their approach of displaying their delight.

“I can see Roy’s points but I don’t have a problem with it honestly, particularly when it’s the brilliant Brazilians. Maybe it’s wrong to say that only they should be doing it, that’s not the case, I just think the way they’ve performed it just kind of goes hand-in-hand with their football. So I don’t think there’s anything too wrong with it,” McCoist mentioned.
