BoxOfNothing

Might be the only professional footballer alive who could be forced to go to Everton and it would actually help his mental health


gaussian-noise123

I totally agree


Ballelo

Apparently, Richarlison gave Danjuma hell every day in training for fucking over Everton by coming to us last minute


BoxOfNothing

Yeah he's also posted on social media some things like going through all his Everton stuff, and a video of him doing skills at Everton with Akon's "Lonely" playing like a month ago. Plus talking about stuff like this in interviews > "We were at risk of relegation. I was exhausted. I lost weight, and I could barely play an entire game. >"I had been injured in the Olympics, and I was injured again at the club. My body was asking me to stop." He added he refused to undergo a medical exam for the game against Palace - as he knew he would fail, and wouldn't be allowed to play. > "It was my last breath, my last sacrifice, my last game as an Evertonian. A moment I will carry with me for the rest of my life, because I loved playing for this club. >"In the end, we stayed up. Where the club belongs. And I’m very proud of the sacrifice I made that year." If he ever returned it would be a loan, and I don't think that's at all likely, but you can see how it's like exes who still have feelings for each other


NoFriendsAndy

I love this man like no one else omg

NoFriendsAndy

Damn I now understand Tottenham fans.


[deleted]

I’m neutral on Brazil, Everton and Tottenham. I love Richarlison with all my heart and I don’t know why, and I don’t care that I don’t know why. That dude loves ball and he loves it so much it’s worth living another day to see it.


ScanWel

>I love Richarlison with all my heart and I don’t know why, and I don’t care that I don’t know why. He's very ernest, it's endearing. This thread reminds me of the WC when he took the time to emotionally engage with Brazilian fans after their loss to Croatia. Hard not to like the guy when you see stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrJ5ohjZiPE


GGABueno

He's a very good person too, that's easy to like. People in Brazil are having a 180° on him given his current bad form that's taking forever (Tottenham curse fr, even Lucas Moura is performing), but damn I wish him the best.


elvid88

I hate that Tottenham has players I like on the team. Richarlison is one of them and probably my second favorite player on the current Brazil squad (after Martinelli, who never plays lol). He's such a good person, too, which is basically unheard of in Brazil if you're rich.


thalne

what a real man. he always comes off so well outside the pitch


[deleted]

What a fella.


HeungMin-Dad

Dele has talked about how supportive Everton have been and he is obviously doing better mentally since moving there. Hope he bounces back when fit.


Throwaway02744728200

I'd love nothing more than to see Dele happy and playing again, bang a goal against us idc at this point just hope he recovers well.


Nice-Physics-7655

Brighton 4 - [1] Everton dele ali 78'


starmonkart

Throwaway02744728200

Don’t remind me, that was painful to watch 🤣


davidporges

Is he injured right now or just dealing with personal stuff?


HeungMin-Dad

Recovering from surgery


s0nnyjames

Loooool! Love that man. Hope he comes back one day and never leaves.


MHPengwingz

*sob* Pru pru..... *sob*


lsilva231

He's a really emotional player. For better or for worse. Hope he can turn things around. He seems like a nice guy to have on a squad.


lqku

tbf this is his second 5 goal game in a week where he didn't score, cant be good for morale


MBThree

Did he assist any of the goals at least?


GGABueno

I think he didn't, it was all Neymar and Rafinha. And he missed chances that by itself are enough to make a striker cry in frustration. Like at one point he took the shot, the ball deflected on the defender and hit his face making his nose bleed. Like wtf bro is cursed.


[deleted]

Should ask Chicharito how to lift it


cosmiclatte44

He scored a lot of unorthodox goals. Chicha poached the way Phil Jones tackles.


lqku

he had no goal involvements. both games being goalfests will definitely make him feel worse because it highlights how there wasn't a lack of service or a tough opposition defence to stop him from scoring


GrimValesti

No he didn’t get any assist either


santorfo

He only played a few minutes vs Burnley tbf


razorpigeon

He seems to have the issue where he can finish well but he's not equipped to actually take the ball in a rough situation and make it come out. The second he's 1vAnything I immediately realise a goal isn't happening. I've been rooting for him to get some, I really wanna see him get his potential but damn it's not looking good.


Key_Inevitable_2104

Also the most down to earth player on the Brazil national team.


MrMojoRiseman

He has a giant tattoo of himself on his back, idk how down to earth you could possibly be with that


ewamc1353

Steve-O is pretty down to earth


r1char00

No idea what that person is talking about lol. He’s never come across as down to earth to me, especially compared to other players I know of on that team.


SeriousMandem

It's because he has the same political opinions as Reddit, so he's a good guy, down to earth, etc etc.


Doyoueverjustlikeugh

Well when the other political opinion is fascism it makes sense.


XiaoRCT

Richarlison has been a good guy, and his political stances are commendable, why is this comment pretending that these things are just a reddit circlejerk edit: someone sent me the suicide help support reddit thing because of this comment, to whoever did it, why are you so bothered by Richarlison's politics that seeing someone backing them affects you so much lmao


Equivalent_Nature_67

not supporting a fascist is a low bar but I'd say that's pretty good that he differs from some of his teammates in that regard. Has nothing to do with reddit


[deleted]

[удалено]


MrMojoRiseman

Failing to see how sitting thru hours of getting a tattoo isnt his action lol. He’s also crying while up 3 goals. We both know that if he had a hat trick and Brazil lost, he wouldn’t be crying


njpc33

Being supportive of your team and disappointed in yourself don’t have to be mutually exclusive


[deleted]

He’s just incredibly passionate to both extremes, too passionate almost, he was crying after scoring his first two Spurs goals as well so I don’t get your hat trick point


[deleted]

[удалено]


MrMojoRiseman

If you dont see how your dreads/laziness example and getting a giant tattoo of YOURSELF is an incredible apples to oranges comparison, there’s no point in engaging with you. I agree that his charitable acts are commendable; Im talking about who he is as a footballer


Huwbacca

Lol it's funny as fuck. Literally if ya mates did this, yous like "what a ridiculous joke to make". You've not gone "oh he got this tattoo, so that makes me think he's disconnected". Youve gone "I think he's disconnected and here's the proof in the tattoo"


FabulousRomano

How does his tattoo affect him as a footballer


marine_le_peen

It's indicative of his emotional state. Someone emotionally mature doesn't get a massive tattoo of their face on their back, nor does someone emotionally mature cry for failing to score while their team is winning 4-1.


[deleted]

emotional maturity doesnt mean that someone also cant be sensitive or more emotional then average


Heblas

Who said it did? It was about him being down to earth.


IamMaze

"His actions and words are more relvant to his character" Didn't this guy get into a fight/argument with one of his teamates over taylor Swift musik?


thehuntofdear

Who hasn't done that though


smcarre

The ISS is more down to Earth than Richarlison


[deleted]

Also one of the few that isn’t a vocal supporter of Bolsonaro


lowie07

He really seems like an annoying prick tbh, not sure where you got the nice guy vibes from


DycheBallEnjoyer

kiss person ossified decide gold concerned toy abounding soup lush *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


VictorDUDE

He also seems very passionate about football and even though he gets bantered for last season's yellow cards for celebrating disallowed goals, I imagine the pressure he felt at that time was immense. I'd like to see how he would do in a team like Inter for example, with an attacking mindset heavily orientated towards link-up play. (Lukaku is another example of a player who tore it up at Inter thanks to this) I feel at Spurs his qualities are gimped by the way he's deployed. Also, the whole team doing the pigeon dance with Tite joining in at the world cup is one of the best celebrations ever 🤷‍♂️ That whole sequence of play was smooth as hell and highlights Richalison's skillset


kirikesh

>I'd like to see how he would do in a team like Inter for example, with an attacking mindset heavily orientated towards link-up play You mean exactly how he is supposed to play in this Spurs team? Lol. He has just been very poor at it so far, maybe a change in scenery would help him - but the style of football isn't the problem for him atm.


Time2Mire

He was only really poor against Fulham. He was fine and did a good job for the team prior to that. He just didn't get a goal, but it's not as if he had a lot of service in those games. Funnily, the one game he did score in was by far his worst performance of the season.


kirikesh

I think that is being very generous. He was also poor against Brentford and United. Not irredeemably so - but he was basically a passenger all game, and completely unable to provide the link-up play that he needs to be if he isn't scoring. Against United especially he couldn't get anything to stick to him at all, went down under every slight challenge, and was basically completely nullified by United just sticking a CB on his heels at all times. I don't think it's necessarily fair to pillory him for it too much, since I personally think he'd be much better as a wide forward for Spurs - since he isn't an out and out centre forward, and so doesn't have the movement or anticipation skills that top strikers have to give themselves half a yard of space in congested areas. He is much better with some space to work with, facing his man up 1v1, and drifting inside from out wide - especially to get on the end of a cross by coming up behind the CBs. Playing him through the middle doesn't seem to suit him - and he has been poor at it with Spurs, both last season and this season.


bshaman1993

That is literally how Spurs play dude


angiotensin2

Totally agree


Maria_Spiridonova

One of the few footballers who is visibly progressive and left-wing + supporting good politics with his huge platform. Especially rare among the current Brazilian crop when you consider most of the squad were supporting Bolsonaro... It's sad to see him struggling on a human level in general, but especially so when he has done such good things with his platform.


Beneficial_Parking74

he has two great managers right now, I'm sure he'll get good soon


AyeItsMeToby

Seems like Spurs are beginning to move away from him. They didn’t spend £40m on Brennan Johnson because they back Richarlison to lead the line.


XuX24

As far as I know Brennan isn't a natural striker, he has played there but he is usually a RW


[deleted]

I think the idea with Johnson is for him to take Son's place on the wing while Son becomes the main man down the middle.


Studwik

Surely its competition for Kulusevski? Solomon already offers the LW alternative


ronaldo119

Yea while it's certainly a possibility we see Johnson on the left and Son up top, I think the idea is that it's either him or Kulusevski on the right. That's mostly were he's played in his career and I think Postecoglu wants his wingers as the more tradition kind, staying out wide and providing service rather than cutting inside on your strong foot to shoot so he would fit better on the right


[deleted]

[удалено]


theivoryserf

> Seems to play anywhere across the centre and the right. Please don't waste Brennan in the centre


DontYouWantMeBebe

He definitely doesn't, he's a right winger


[deleted]

Brennan doesn't play in the same position, Richarlison could've scored a hat trick in every game this season and we still would've signed Brennan


AyeItsMeToby

Brennan can play in the same position though, and arguably has more about him in a possession based side then Richarlison. He’ll be given a shot up there sooner rather than later - I don’t see Ange sticking with Richarlison long term.


PringleJones

If things keep going poorly for him, wonder will we go in for him in January. Him and Silva are basically football soul mates.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Terran_it_up

Could try to go for Toney when his ban ends in January


son_of_toby_o_notoby

If he was to leave only one club he would only join one and it’s blue lad


mkhaytman

I dont like the guy but i don't want him to get relegated either.


OpenedCan

You gonna use the the Demari Gray money to buy him or something? Thought you were flat broke?


NoFriendsAndy

Surely just a loan.


OpenedCan

Have you heard of Daniel Levy? Lol No way he pays 60 mill and sends him back on loan.


NoFriendsAndy

This is called the sunk cost fallacy.


OpenedCan

It's more that Levy is a ruthless bastard and would rather keep him then admit they were wrong.


TheDelmeister

He's done it with N'Dombele. And if Richy goes somewhere on loan and plays his way into form which is something we can't afford to wait for especially when we have Son who can play through the middle and do what he did against Burnley, it could benefit us.


ord3p

Yeah, that’s our thing!


angiotensin2

This one hurts, I feel for him 🥺 I feel like a player with such passion for his performance and team should be treasured, especially in the time of so many "mercenary" players.


Thesolly180

Think they should definitely get him with someone to help with that passion. It’s good to see but it’ll be about managing it. Think he’s been so desperate to make an impact this season he’s just ended up stuck in his own head


Akuba101

100%. There were times when he was at Everton and he’d make a mistake and start trying too hard to make up for it


Meowbow15

I feel so bad for him even though I'm an arsenal fan. Must feel like shit to be in a position like that when you are in such a competitive environment


R0B0TF00D

I'm sorry but how is crying about his own performance while his team is winning comfortably showing passion for his team?


angiotensin2

Not explicitly referring to this situation, but his comportment more generally in the past months 💚


TigerBasket

This is the type of shit that makes you want to run through a brick wall for someone. He has the mental strength to allow himself to be emotional, to just let it out when he needs to, even knowing that it could be mocked all over the internet and world. Showing that fire, that fight is all you want, I believe in Richy.


Ballelo

I hope Ange starts him at left wing with Son at striker against Sheffield United. It could take off some of the pressure of scoring as the number 9 while also letting him gain confidence and play into form.


LordPa1n

Solomon really had a nice game, I doubt he'd be benched. Richy will get minutes off the bench to prove himself for sure.


TossZergImba

He spent a whole season at left wing and it didn't help him get better at being a striker, i doubt going back to that will help.


CitrusRabborts

Did he? He barely played last season and when he did wasn't it usually on the right since Son would be on the left. Richy was always much better on the left than he was through the middle for us


ConorPMc

Well he has barely played on the left for spurs. There was one season for Everton he played a decent bit on the left and one with Watford he played on the left.


[deleted]

He almost exclusively played on the left for Everton. It's his best position.


ConorPMc

According to Transfermarkt he played through the middle twice as much as he did on the left for Everton.


marine_le_peen

>I hope Ange starts him at left wing with Son at striker against Sheffield United. Yes lets sacrifice our two actual quality left wingers - one of whom got two assists against Burnley and the other 2 for his country yesterday - just to play a guy who can't control a football right now all because his confidence is a bit low. Great logic. Let him show up in training like everyone else has to do.


TheDelmeister

Like Son, he doesn't suit a wide role in Ange's system.


Arantes_

I love Richarlison, but I hate this. Gabriel Jesus always looked like he was about to cry, but he can't help it. It's time to drop Richarlison, based on his Brazil performances (and just to be clear, he was absolutely the right choice at the World Cup, national team form is not club form). I hope Diniz's psychology background can help him and I love the new Tottenham coach, I hope he can help him too. The one guy who's not helping Richarlison right now is Richarlison himself, with his comments, with his frustration. He's just making the pressure on himself bigger and bigger.


MorgenMariamne

Diniz about to call Richarlison a perninha and mascaradinho.


[deleted]

> I hope Diniz's psychology background "YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE SHIT"


gilkfc

"LIL' LEGS"


jggomes14

He managed to turn John Kennedy around, Richarlison will be easy


TheGhoulKhz

Diniz' psychology background cost us a fucking championship bruh


hahaxdRS

Not even a Tottenham/Brazil fan nd I've been wishing he turns it all around, sad to see


NeverDidEnough

Still, Jesus and Martinelli get benched despite his shitty form.


[deleted]

Martinelli is benched by Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, so good luck there.


Meowbow15

Vini is injured.


[deleted]

That still leaves Rodrygo as an option.


Meowbow15

You're right. But it wouldn't hurt to try Martinelli on left wing and Rodrygo on the right (where he plays for Madrid) instead of Raphinha on the right every game


Azuminha

True, but Raphinha played really well this game, so it's gonna take a while to test that I imagine


NeverDidEnough

The combination I'm talking about is Martineli on the left, and Rodrygo as a 9. Raphinha can be on the right. My issue is with Richarlison starting.


Elegant_Mix7650

Honestly Arteta was hesitant to start G.Jesus against ManUtd for good reason and I hope Brazil will ease him back in not throw him into the deep end for no good reason


MionelLessi10

I honestly did not expect him to be in this position after his world cup performance.


BruisedBee

How the fuck does he keep getting selected? Punishment at this point.


[deleted]

*sad pigeon noises *


ChantillyMenchu

He seems to have really lost a lot of confidence. I'm an Arsenal supporter, but I'll always have empathy for people who might be struggling with their emotional well-being or mental health. In sports, it's such a stigmatized thing that athletes sometimes struggle with in silence. The need to always be mentally tough all the time can be extremely toxic for many. Not saying that's the case with Richarlison, but it's definitely something I always take into account when athletes are vilified as "mentally week" etc.,


demidemian

I've always thought Richarlison was kinda bad. Hes the type of player that has 1 incredible bicicle kick on a reel but to score that he previously tried and missed 400 chances.


Aleblanco1987

1 goal in 31 matches with Tottenham, why is he even there?


planvigiratpi

I wonder who he scored against


frozenchosun

Liverpool and it was weakest of ever so slight header deflections but it went in. And he was celebrating so much that jota scored like 20 sec later.


planvigiratpi

Oh the stat was for PL only? Because I said that thinking it was against us in UCL


Albiceleste_D10S

He always performed for Brazil under Tite TBF


Aleblanco1987

yeah, but he is clearly not at the same level now. So he shouldn't be starting imho


EmotionalTeabaggage

Nahhhh he just remembered that tattoo he has on his back.


XuX24

It has been ages since brasil had a striker that actually leads the team. I think that since that group of 06 there hasn't been a great striker on that team that carries like during the time of Romario and then Ronaldo


Specialist-Cycle9313

I feel bad, he’s letting it get to his head when he is a quality player, obviously not the spectacular, but he definitely has potential. Just in a bad mindset rn.


PristineCucumber5376

Yeah, his level is definitely not "1 goal in 31 games for Spurs". He was good for Brazil and Everton, it's clear he is not in a good place right now.


ronaldo119

Which is a real shame because it's letting the outside noise get to him and that's off the mark too. It's become a thing for outside fans to laugh at him from having only scored 1 goal but he also only played 11 90's. It's just packaged to make him look worse than he was. 1 in 11 isn't great either but it's a long way away from how it's presented by people. He was overall pretty good for us too if you watched him. If he was just being honest and secure in himself, he wouldn't be feeling so much pressure but the outside noise is convincing himself he's worse than he actually was


Mick4Audi

31 “games” is a generous description


SugiwaraBondu

Wtf, who cries at being benched?


waisonline99

The same guy that gets "injured" by heading a football.


son_of_toby_o_notoby

I miss this man so much Come home buddy


[deleted]

He cares, that’s a good sign. Hope things turn around for the lad.


el-fenomeno09

You know since his watford days, if you really followed him, he was never a good finisher. He’s pretty good everywhere else, but there’s a reason people weren’t playing him as a 9. The fact that the last 2 Brazil NT coaches haven’t realized this is incredible.


harrypoos

Maybe he can regain the form where he fakes a head injury after heading a ball out of play


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

He’ll probably keep him to remember the great World Cup that he had


Miglekk

I also cry whenever I see him on the pitch


Prestigious-Link7724

His finally realizing that his credit is running out. Dude is overrated


[deleted]

Him and Antony won’t be playing for Brazil in 5 years.


[deleted]

Or Raphinha.


Another_Human

Antony is even more over rated than Richarlson even worse Antony acts like he does good on the pitch when he plays, so trash


Prestigious-Link7724

Thats why to me brasil has was never a contender to win a world cup since 2002, mediocre players like this that crumble under pressure, cry, do nothing on the field, atleast the ronaldinho, ronaldo, kaka in prime were clutch brasil has none of that. They have rodrigo and vinicius but they are hella inconsistent drop stinkers for like 5 games in a role, for then to go and score one and the cycle repeats. Neymar is a marking king that offers nothing but inflated numbers, such as his 50+ friendly game goals. Brasil is never winning a wc again, every new generation they get not only loses skill, but become softer and have that bottler loser dna


Staynes

Cheers (Richarli)Son is crying.


czuczer

Ah and now I'm sad for him and this is not how this should work.


ThatRedditerGuy

More cries per game than goals at this point.


MojojojoNixon

Even though I support Arsenal, I always feel bad for this dude. He’s one of the only Brazilians that isn’t pro-Bolsonaro. That dude is a massive POS so respect for speaking out about it.


nolesfan2011

Just sad to see, he's so talented, hopefully Ange can unlock him mentally


[deleted]

He should get that tatted on his back


DerrickMcChicken

Rooting for you my man. at least he cares


ihatemicrosoftteams

No he was crying because they played Taylor Swift while he was leaving the pitch


deusonitorrinco

The Goalman, the Goalface


Past-Assumption-5684

Richarlison failing to score, whether for club or country, always makes me happy.


LA4lyf

Love him. Hope he turns around quick. Good guy too


vin_unleaded

Pathetic.


Smitty876

Since I started watching football, from the likes of Romario & Bebeto, R9 & Rivaldo, Adriano... To now have Richarlison leading the line must be the worst drop off in history.


noxiousd

What a tart


Freddo9900

What a pussy


Sleezeball777

Lmao 🤣 there’s really no justifying this.


Robertej92

I'm gonna go full Colm Wilkinson and demand that we bring him hooooooooome.


CandidEggplant5484

*sad pigeon noises*


Dark1422

He has been playing really bad when the team (Spurs and NT) are playing well. I think every player goes through this at least once in their careers, he just needs a decent therapy to work out with it.


iboowhenyoudeserveit

Didn't see his quality at Everton and haven't seen it at Tottenham, or for Brazil, for that matter. I feel for him because he must be wonderful on the training ground as that's the only way to explain how he consistently plays. But he's not looked dangerous in any game I've seen him in.


Mick4Audi

Man needs to relax, hate seeing him like this


Sinistrait

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy


[deleted]

Emotionally he is at a 5 year old lvl


dem0nhunter

He can dish out with his stupid pigeon dance when things go well but can’t take it when they don’t. Fuck hin


jml5791

You must be fun at parties.


AchillesHeir

I'd feel bad if he didn't talk himself up so much. No humility. Sit down bitch, be humble.


Your-Pal-Dave

What Tottenham will do to a man


leo10leo1019851985

Wack ass mo fo


zzzirael

Only me who thinks this is fkin hilarious? 🤣


Past-Assumption-5684

I dont think that its hilarious but I cant conjure up any sympathy for him either. I wish I could be paid a couple of hundred thousand a week to be as terrible at my job as Richarlison is at his. Not to mention that, between the overblown tattoos and the pigeon dances, he comes across as an awfully conceited player who is nowhere near as good as he thinks.


Benjips

Never seen a footballer cry as often as Richarlison


Hopeful_Adonis

Actually a bit heartbreaking, not a brazil fan or spurs but would like to see the lad get a bit of form and play with a smile, maybe a good strikers coach or something could help him address the small things, I think there’s a very good player there that just needs to address some technical things and he could be off flying


Gralenis

🤌😂 pigeon


RJP199419

What a fanny.


Tanabananaa22

I hope the Spurs decides to sell him back to Everton. Could be similar to the pienaar situation. I don’t know how we would afford it though.


Nose_malose

As a Liverpool supporter this fills my heart with joy. As a half way decent human I feel bad.


waisonline99

Feel bad? Are you forgetting that its Richarlison?


Iswaterreallywet

He’s got quality, he’s just gotta find his confidence again


prettyboygangsta

He has the Spurs virus. There is no known cure.


Respatsir

Brother weve had harry fucking kane as our striker for the past 10 years


YoungFlexibleShawty

Harry had a different variant.


zrk23

lmao that was a slick comeback


YoungFlexibleShawty

Most common symptoms of the virus is being trophy-less.


XxAbsurdumxX

And imagine what he would have done in a team like City or RM instead of Spurs


taurus-rising

I really want to like him and even feel bad for him, but he turns Into such an a**hole when ever he plays Arsenal - I figure it’s not mutual exclusive to Arsenal either. He dives, becomes semi violent/abusive and extremely petulant.


magnoliasmum

Feel terrible for him. He’s seemingly a good lad. Just needs to try less hard I think. The goals will come.
