HOW goal celebrations became a thing

Рет қаралды 120,738

Ronaldo has his "Siuuu", Serge Gnabry is "cooking", other players have their very own signature moves when it comes to celebrating goals. But it wasn't always like this. Once upon a time, goal scorers would briefly raise a hand and quickly run back to the middle of the pitch. Why has that changed? And what does it say about modern football and all of us...?

Goal celebrations in modern football is part of a player's identity like Ronaldo's Siu, Messi's tribute to his grandmother, Bale's heart sign(which he trademarked it) and Salah's and Mane's tribute to Allah. Back here in South Africa, he dance when ever we score. Look at Simphiwe Tshabalala's goal against Mexico at the 2010 world cup.

But calling the Siuuu inauthentic is a reach considering he probably came up with it because of the sheer volume of goals he scores. Hence, it became so iconic.

Messi is the most humble player ever seen in this game for his stats and persona. That might be because that is how he is even outside the pitch, so humble. There is no showing-off in his celebration. He always points his hands to the sky to dedicate his goals to his grandmother who urged him to play the game to which he's the identity now. He hugs and shares smiles with his teammates after each goal. As for the iconic celebration in Bernabeau, that I think was the result of all the fouls, ill-treatments, frustrations, anger caused by the opposition in that match. Coz if u check his career history, he's been the player on whom fouls have been committed the most. Even after suffering horrific injuries, he still gets up enduring everything week in, week out. He never dives even after pushing, pulling, thrashing him. If he falls down, he gets up straight after and starts playing without complaining. Some say he's not the strongest out there. If this does not prove he's the strongest, I don't know what does.

BRs The Champions said it best when Griezman says: "Whithout a signature celebration, what's the point of scoring a goal?" And he's right about Ronaldo's siu thing. If you watch Ronaldo highlights, his goal celebrations were so much more interesting and endearing and real before he discovered the Siu. After the Siu, his celebrations turned boring and predictable, despite becoming the most iconic celebration on the planet. As for Mbappe...I keep expecting him to sniff his fingers like that Molly Shannon character on Saturday Night Live from the 90s, when she would shove her hands into her armpits and then have a good sniff, a la Joachim Low.

As much as I like the super talented Cristiano, I never liked his particular style of celebration, a kind of "interrupted jump" or "downwards jump". There are so many layers in celebrations, with political tinges (like Reinaldo's statue), or simply references to private jokes or aspects of the players life. For me, the most impressive celebration was Bebeto in FIFA 1994 world-cup mimicking a father rocking an imaginary baby (quickly joined by some team mates). African national teams players dancing together are also among my favorites.

I remember the outcry in the late 80s of players, mostly in the Premier League . The media was having a field day of all the player's patting each others backsides, and I remember one picture where players were swapping spit (or claimed to be doing so). Im not sure how widespread this was, or how much the media beat things up, but I wasnt a supporter of the game, so if I knew about it, it must have been widely reported and photographed.

Ist mir jetzt auf Englisch zu schwierig zu schreiben: Entschuldigung dafür! (Sorry for for not writing this text in english. My skills are not good enough) Ich finde diese personisierten Torjubel , egal ob Aubameyang, CR7, Lewandowski oder auch Modeste (als FC-Fan) eher peinlich. Es ist einfach nur Selbstinszenierung. Ich persönlich habe das Gefühl, die Spieler freuen sich gar nicht mehr ehrlich über ein Tor, sondern überlegen nur noch, wie sich selbst am besten in Szene setzen können. Besonders schlimm finde ich es, wenn sie dafür Mitspieler an die Seite schieben, weil sie die Kamera nur auf sich gerichtet haben wollen. Noch schlimmer, wenn sie nach toller Vorarbeit nur noch eingeschoben haben. Ich habe selbst im Sturm (natürlich nur als Hobbykicker) gespielt und habe meine Tore immer mit meinen Mitspielern gefeiert und nie daran gedacht mich jetzt zu inszenieren. Ich weiß, der Vergleich hinkt, weil nur 50 statt 5.000.000 zugesehen haben, aber dennoch: Ich finde diese Selbstinszenierung zum Fremdschämen.
