Turtle School Qigong?The meaning of the special celebration action after Elliott scored the lore
You might be wondering what Elliott's celebration meant after his winner against Crystal Palace, and Konate's social media posts might give us some inspiration.
The 20-year-old slid to his knees after scoring the winner in the 91st minute at the King Power Stadium before receiving a hug from his team-mates. He then wasted no time in reaching out to the Liverpool fans and making a celebratory gesture similar to Turtle School Qigong, which seemed to be a nod to the Japanese anime Dragon Ball Z.
Konate also posted a post after the game about the original form of the Turtle School Qigong in the anime, and this seems to have been the inspiration for Elliott's celebratory move**.
Turtle Qigong is the most widely used form of finishing attack in Dragon Ball Z, and it is also the signature move of Son Goku, one of the main characters of the manga. With this move, the legs were slightly bent, and the hands were combined into a cross shape, and a powerful qi instantly appeared in the palms of the palms, just like Elliott did, and then the hands were pushed forward, shooting out powerful energy beams.
There were a lot of variations in the action and we certainly enjoyed Elliott's performance at Selhurst Park, and obviously Konate was of the same opinion.
Konate is also an anime fan, and he himself celebrates goals with such actions on the pitch, and he often makes similar posts on social media after Liverpool's victory.
The two players have clearly bonded over this and we would certainly like to see Konate and Elliott celebrate like that throughout the season.
