Quand on parle de Victor Cruz, on pense tout de suite à sa célébration fétiche: la salsa. D’autres joueurs se sont même mis à l’imiter.
Cruz qui est actuellement en train de promouvoir un livre retraçant son histoire a expliqué à des journalistes d’où venait cette idée.
« Coach Sullivan, who was our quarterback’s coach at the time, when I was getting my first start against Philadelphia he was like man you gotta do something to represent your culture and your ethnicity and all Puerto Ricans and Latin people all over. He’s like you gotta dance in the end zone. At first I was like coach I don’t know if I am going to dance in the end zone
I told him yeah to get him out of my face and we could continue practice and then right before the game he looked at me at that point and was like you gotta do it. I was like alright coach. Low and behold early in the game I catch a pass and I am going down the sideline and I am about at the 5-yard line and in my head I am like man I gotta do this dance now. I put the ball down and I just started dancing. I got really into it once I started doing it and it kind of took a life of its own after that. »
Voilà. Une news très importante que je me devais de partager avec vous 😛
