Real Madrid Vini Jr. has been backed to dance if he scores against Atletico Madrid following harsh comment from Koke.
Atletico Madrid captain Koke has been dragged following his comment on Real Madrid forward Vini jr. celebration.
Atletico Madrid will host title defender Real Madrid in the Spanish La Liga this weekend following their defeat in the Champions League.
Koke, who spoke ahead of the derby game on Sunday claims their will be trouble for Vini Jr. if he scores and dance against them.
Vini Jr. has scored 5 goals in all competition this season (4 in the La Liga and one in the Champions League).
The Brazilian is known for his celebration after scoring in a particular game but Atletico Madrid skipper said he will be calling for trouble if he does that at the Metropolitan Stadium.
After his comment the Skipper has been lashed on social media as Vini Jr is been encouraged to score and dance against the The Mattress Makers.
Some of the Brazilian players have sticked with their compriatriot giving him the support to score and dance.
Raphinha on IG to Vini Jr: “I want to see dance. I want to see joy.”
“Dribble, dance and be yourself, happy to be who you are! Go for the top, my friend, we will dance on your next goal,” Neymar said on his IG.
Here are some of the tweets that shows that Koke comment does sit well with fans ahead of the derby.
Dancing, especially in football, is a part of Brazilian culture. The Brazilian players aren't just looking out for each other, they are defending their identity which is what Koke indirectly attacked. Wouldn't have expected anything less.

Absolutely love how he's getting support from other players💜
So many others had absolutely 0 issues when Griezmann did the L dance (looking pointedly at Koke especially) a far more disrespectful dance if you wanna go there, and now have an issue with Vini doing it.#BailaViniJr https://t.co/VyTV8KY4y6— Nithanth (@rnithanth) September 16, 2022
Koke will be in tears this weekend after Vini scores a brace and the whole squad starts dancing with him😭😭😭
