Richarlison’s situation is seriously strained at Tottenham. Sidelined by Roberto De Zerbi in the Premier League, the Brazilian striker hoped to at least find playing time in the Carabao Cup, but his coach also decided not to call him up for the trip to Liverpool. A decision which comes as the Spurs are having a very complicated start to the season offensively, with no goals scored in their first four days. Richarlison, Tottenham’s top scorer last season with 12 goals, started the first match at Brentford before being invited to find a new club this summer.
After De Zerbi’s announcement, the Brazilian made his dissatisfaction clear on social media. On InstagramRicharlison first reacted to a post relaying his coach’s comments with a crying emoji, before sharing the post by simply adding: ” Why ? ». A reaction which illustrates the tensions around his situation, while several starting avenues failed this summer, notably Everton, Trabzonspor and especially on the side of Vasco da Gama. According to the Daily Mailthe striker therefore now finds himself excluded from the group, despite his availability for the League Cup.
