I WAIT. De Bruyne dances the ‘Griddy’ during Manchester City training:
The belt can be taken off for a while. Before having to report for Wednesday’s training camp in Abu Dhabi, the Manchester City players are enjoying a few days of rest.
That didn’t stop the English club from posting a great training video last week. To brighten up a sad Monday, the social media cell posts a video of De Bruyne dancing.
After his team won one of each other’s matches during training and he had to pose for the club photographer for a victory photo, the Red Devil instructed his teammates to do the “Griddy”. The dance that Jérémy Doku does after his goals. Phil Foden followed suit. Not Doku himself.
Manchester City are very pleased with De Bruyne’s impact on his return from injury, with a goal and an assist against Newcastle United. But also of the calm and energy that he radiates. He is so happy to be back. And he feels the affection of the fans, staff and teammates.
I WAIT. Here’s how to do the ‘Griddy’
With the Griddy you touch the ground with the back of your heels and simultaneously move your arms back and forth. In the next step, you imitate glasses with your hands in front of your face: “Throw your B’s.” After that it is important to do it as quickly as possible.
The “inventor” of the dance is the American teenager Allen “Griddy” Davis, a friend of the famous football player Ja’Marr Chase (Cincinnati Bengals). During his school days he always walked straight into the locker room. A video of him went viral in 2018. 24 hours later the #GetGriddy movement was created. More and more people and athletes follow his example on social media like TikTok.
Gradually the Griddy also crept into “European” football. Christian Pulisic and Jesse Lingard preceded them, but since Doku performed the ‘Griddy’ several times, his name in particular is associated with dance and celebration.
The ‘Griddy’ has also made its appearance in the world of video games. Also in the popular games “EA FC” (formerly “FIFA”) and “Fortnite”.
