Tite then joined Richarlison in his well-known pigeon celebration. His dance has Brazilian roots thanks to the Os Perseguidores, a popular band. "A group from Rio de Janeiro had a song in around 2012 that inspired the pigeon dance," he said after completing his transfer to Everton.
"A trend started when I did the dance at home. Everyone started copying me," Richarlison concluded.
