Wednesday's press conference had it all, including a new battle between a player and a former footballer currently working for a media company.
Earlier this week, Vinicius Jr and his Brazilian teammates made headlines for their unapologetic goal celebrations, which included dancing moves featuring players and even their own boss. Nevertheless, there were some voices who criticized these moves, such as Roy Keane, who stepped out to state how disrespectful he found those celebrations to be.
Speaking in today's presser, Vinicius revealed that not being able to dance after scoring a goal would be taken as an insult by his compatriots, as it reflects part of their culture and who they are as footballers.
"Scoring a goal is the most relevant moment in football. It is when we are the happiest, and now with the World Cup, you have an entire country being happy about it," Vinicius stated.
Then, the footballer warned his critics that Brazilian players intend do keep dancing to celebrate their goals regardless of what people think.
"We still have a lot to celebrate. I hope we can keep dancing and playing as we have done it in the past days, so we can reach the final with this momentum," Vinicius added.
The Real Madrid winger referred to Keane's words and snubbed any type of problem with him. In fact, the player hinted that the former midfielder is the one that may have problems with the way he lives his life.
"People love to complain when they see the others enjoying themselves, and we as Brazilians are always happy. So, we may continue to get on those guys' nerves. I hope we can keep up the good work and with this kind of joy, knowing that there are many football fans in our corner and not against us," Vinicius concluded.
