Little in sight last season with Tottenham where he scored only 3 goals and delivered 4 offerings in 35 matches, Richarlison (26 years old) is not more successful at the start of the season (1 goal in 5 matches). However, the Brazilian striker remains a starter in the selection and participated in the last matches against Bolivia (5-1) and Peru (1-0). Little spared from criticism, he also experienced complicated moments at the same time. Asked by Globohe returned to this difficult episode in his life: “I’ve been through a turbulent time over the last five months off the field. Now everything is fine at home. People who only cared about my money left me. Now things will start to go well, I’m sure I’ll have a good run at Tottenham and things will happen again.”
The former Fluminense, Watford and Everton player also confided that he was going to call on a specialist to address his problems and be supported in the best possible way: “I’m going to return to England, seek psychological help, from a psychologist, to work on my mind. That’s it, come back stronger. I think I will be at the next Brazil call-up, I will work for that. It’s about having a good sequence at Tottenham, this week I’m going to sit down and talk to them, I need a good sequence, to get into the rhythm of the match and to arrive here well.
