Tite: “Joy is the identity of Brazilian football”
“Joy is the identity of Brazilian football,” insisted the Brazilian national team coach, Tite, and stressed that dancing when celebrating a goal is part of his “culture” and “no one is looked down upon,” so I stress that. If she had to dance again, she would dance.
“Joy is the identity of Brazilian football, it’s not me, it’s the generation that’s just growing up. We give them the confidence to give their best. Under a lot of pressure, you have to have the courage to play like that, even if you risk getting injured. This is the kind of football I believe in.” With it, although there is criticism if you don’t win the title. But he’s an attacker, and that’s what we believe in,” Tite commented on the model of the game in Brazil.
The coach also appreciated the criticism of the Rio de Janeiro players’ celebrations, by dancing after each goal scored, which for Tite is part of “Brazil’s history, culture and lifestyle.” “It is not my team, it is the Brazilian team, which I have the responsibility to coach. I respect the culture and the way I am, the team I work for. Many children will also dance because the Brazilian culture is the culture that will not underestimate anyone. This is our way of being.”
And it is that Tite highlighted the ‘connection’ he has with their youngest, prompting him to take part in the 3-0 celebration against South Korea. “I am 61 years old, but I have this connection with the players who could be my grandchildren. If I have to dance, I will dance. In a very subtle way, I asked them to hide me. This is not my profile. The painting, when it is painted, belongs to the footballer who is on me.” To practice it more, I know,” he joked.
The coach, who has come forward that he will decide in training whether full-back Alex Sandro is available for Friday’s quarter-final against Croatia, recalled Pele’s number. “I wish him good health. He is an inspiration to all of us. He is doing what the World Cup has shown, with solidarity, harmonious coexistence, united fans, acceptance of differences. Pele, as a human being, is the greatest of all. And sport as a means of communication, inspires everyone,” the legend praised. She was admitted to a hospital in São Paulo.
