Steven Bergwijn explains secret behind trademark celebration | OneFootball

Tottenham winger Steven Bergwijn had a debut to remember after scoring in the 2-0 win over Manchester City.

Bergwijn joined Spurs from PSV for €32m in January, and introduced himself to Premier League football with a stunning second half strike.

The 22-year-old then unleashed his trademark celebration which got people thinking – what does it mean?

Thankfully, your curiosity will be answered straight from the man himself.

“It is nothing special, it has just come from when I play FIFA with friends,” he told Voetbal NL last year.

“They said ‘do it like this’ and since then I have always done it like this.”

So there you go. No hidden meaning or word play, like Alexandre Pato who used to celebrate in a similar fashion.

‘Pato’ means ‘duck’ in Portuguese, with the hand gesture somewhat resembling a duck bill.

That is something we can get behind.
