AFPRicharlison went through a difficult period, he says
NOS Voetbal•vandaag, 22:16
Brazil international Richarlison says he needs psychological help after a ‘turbulent period off the field’. The Tottenham striker said this to the sports channel Globo Esporte after his country’s World Cup qualifying victory over Peru.
The striker was spotted crying on the bench last Friday after his substitution against Bolivia. He now provided an explanation for this. “A lot of things have gotten in my way off the field.”
The Brazilian attacker says he has had some tough months. “I had a turbulent period off the field in the last five months. There were people around me who only had an eye for my money. But that is no longer the case, now it is a bit quieter at home.”
That would also explain Richarlison’s poor form in recent months. The striker has not scored for his country since the World Cup in Qatar and has also only found the net once for Tottenham Hotspur in 31 appearances.
‘Psychological assistance’
The Brazilian says he wants to do everything he can to come back stronger. That’s why he goes to England looking for psychological help. “From a psychologist. That is what I need, I need to become mentally stronger. Then I am convinced that I can perform again at Tottenham.”
Richarlison saw better times at the World Cup in Qatar at the end of last year. The attacker scored twice during the group stage, in the match against Serbia. One of those goals was crowned the most beautiful goal of the World Cup.
The striker scored a total of three goals in the world championship. He also scored in the 4-1 victory over South Korea in the eighth finals.
