LEEDS’ record buy Rodrigo celebrated being thrust under the Premier League spotlight by doing the same to his hips.
And the cheeky tunnel warm-up for the clash with Fulham was hard to stomach for some fans on social media.
Leeds’ most expensive signing Rodrigo finds wiggle room in the tunnel before taking on fulham on Saturday afternoon
Summer recruit Rodrigo had his own unique way of preparing to face Fulham
The £36million Spain striker jiggled his pelvis to loosen up for his first start – after coming on as sub in last Saturday’s opening 4-3 loss at champions Liverpool.
And as well as mesmerising many, it perhaps inspired fellow summer recruit Helder Costa – as the winger took just five minutes to smash a brilliant opener.
On Twitter, though, the reaction to Rodrigo’s six-pack salsa was decidedly mixed.
One fan speculated: “He was practicing what he was going to do to Fulham.”
But amid a clutter of laughing emojis, some armchair critics admitted they somehow missed Rodrigo’s waist waltz on first viewing.
Such responses included: “Was looking at the water bottle exchange thing and trying to work out why I should be outraged by this…”
Rodrigo, 29, is back in the Prem from Valencia after just once for Bolton in the top flight during a miserable 2010-11 loan season.
The 23-cap star joined Leeds for their first campaign in the Prem since 2004, knowing their Argentinian boss Marcelo Bielsa has imposed a free-flowing styling, maybe more suited to the frontman’s LaLiga pedigree.
So none of that old fashioned, hip-and-hope stuff…
