Brazil's dancing superstars have been labelled as 'disrespectful' by a furious Roy Keane

‘It’s like STRICTLY… I’m not happy with it’: Roy Keane slams ‘DISRESPECTFUL’ Brazil for their dancing celebrations as they blitzed South Korea for four in first-half of World Cup last-16 clash – with even boss Tite getting involved

Roy Keane savaged Brazil’s free-scoring stars as ‘disrespectful’ as he likened their choreographed dance celebrations to watching Strictly Come Dancing.

Brazil put on a show in the first half of their last-16 showdown with South Korea, hitting them for four thanks to goals from Vinicius Jnr, Neymar, Richarlison and Lucas Paqueta.

Following Vinicius’ opener Brazil showed off a series of pre-planned dance routines to mark their goals, something that left Keane aghast come the half-time break.

‘Fantastic finish by Vinicius, great start to the game. But I’ve never seen so much dancing,’ fumed ITV pundit Keane

‘I can’t believe what I’m watching, I can’t believe what I’m watching, it’s like watching Strictly [Come Dancing].’

Brazil continued to offer up a variety of moves as the goals flew in, with even manager Tite getting involved as he mimicked Richarlison’s pigeon celebration following the third goal.  

‘I don’t like this. People say it’s their culture. But I think that’s really disrespecting the opposition,’ Keane furiously continued. 

Keane said one time would have been manageable but after every goal is 'disrespectful'

‘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.’

Eni Aluko, alongside Keane on ITV’s punditry panel for the match, totally disagreed as she ‘loved’ the enthusiasm in the celebrations. 

‘I love it, it’s like we are at a Brazilian party,’ Aluko responded. 

‘South Korea have made it easy for them. Look at this penalty, it’s personality, you can say they aren’t respecting South Korea but Neymar would have done that to most teams.’
