The celebration made by Endrick after his goal in the rout of Palm trees over the Liverpool, from Uruguay, ended up generating controversy with the opposing team. The young man repeated the gorilla gesture after scoring, but the Uruguayans ended up taking it as a kind of provocation, and they didn’t like it.
“I’m very happy with this goal, with the assist and even more with the victory. This is a gesture I make. I did it in the last game with Independiente, it was very well received when I finished, it was a beautiful celebration, it was also there with their fans”, said the number 9 about the confusion after the end of the match.

It is worth remembering that, as mentioned by Endrick, this celebration has already been repeated, having done so against Independiente Del Valle, in the last round of the South American Championship. On this occasion, the young man stated that it is a tribute to the film “King Kong vs Godzilla”, which he recently saw and ended up becoming a fan of.
“It’s because I saw the King Kong and Godzilla movie, which is “New Empire”, and I’m a big fan of Kong and Panther, too. So it’s a new celebration for me“, stated the young player at the time of the aforementioned match. After the celebration held this Wednesday, the 9th, he ended up receiving a yellow card, different from the first opportunity.
