进球别跳番茄舞

Putting the Squeeze on1 Ketchup Goal Celebration

Lazio's tough midfielder Diego Simeone said his teammates should find a more manly way to celebrate goals than imitating a teenage dance craze. Lazio, then second in Serie A, had celebrated goals by doing "The Ketchup Song ----- dance, made popular by Spain's Las Ketchup2. Argentine striker Claudio Lopez celebrated his three goals against Inter Milan by jiggling around like the girls who had been at number one across Europe. "You can't celebrate like that," Argentine Simeone told the daily Gazzetta dello Sport. "A goal is a goal --- it should be celebrated in a stronger manner, not with that dance." Lazio's owners are troubled food company Cirio --- makers of Italian ketchup.

1．put the squeeze on：对……施加压力；指责。

2．Las Ketchup：“番茄三姐妹”，为西班牙女子流行乐团，自2002年夏季开始风靡全球，由其歌曲《番茄酱之歌》（The Ketchup Song）衍生的“番茄酱之舞”亦随之风行。

拉齐奥队的中场硬汉迭戈·西蒙尼认为队友们应该用更有男子气概的方法来庆祝进球，而不是去模仿十几岁孩子的时髦舞蹈。当时在（意大利）甲级联赛中排名第二的拉齐奥队用跳“番茄酱之舞”来庆祝进球，该舞蹈因西班牙的“番茄三姐妹”乐团而风行一时。阿根廷前锋克 劳迪奥·洛佩斯在对国际米兰队的比赛中进了3个球，他的庆祝方式是在场上不停摇摆，就像在欧洲各个排行榜上位居首位的那几个女孩一样。“你不能这样庆祝，”阿根廷人西蒙尼对《 体育报》说。“进球就是进球——应该用更豪迈的方式来庆贺，而不是那样的舞蹈。”拉齐奥队的老板正是陷于困境的奇里奥食品公司——意大利番茄酱的制造商。

Remarks：所谓“怜子如何不丈夫”，这样的动作可能会因展现了硬汉们的柔情一面而令足球运动更添魅力——所以贝贝托在1994年世界杯上的“摇摇篮”庆祝方式会引来大群仿效者。
