Just like in Argentina, in Brazil football is also the most important thing, something for which people live over there. And when you have high expectations from the World Cup (like the Brazilians) and then you lose in the quarterfinals already (like the Brazilians) and then you see your arch rival lifting the trophy, emotions are high. But Selecao forward Richarlison went too far with his explanation of the World Cup failure. 🎙️ Richarlison: “Being eliminated from the World Cup, I think it’s worse than losing a family member.” 😳 pic.twitter.com/dzf0ZfHX7N— Football Tweet ⚽ (@Football__Tweet) January 17, 2023 “It was a blow, I don’t know. I think it’s worse than losing a family member. To this day, when I watch videos on my social networks, it makes me sad. But we have to move on. I’m still young, I think I still have one or two World Cups to go. I will keep working hard so that things start to flow again, the goals start to come out, which is what I know how to do on the field” Richarlison said to ESPN. Bad blood flows even after a good gameIs it because of the World Cup failure or because of Tottenham’s recent poor form (or both), but the Brazilian just cannot get into form again. But getting into trouble he can. In the recent loss to an arch enemy Arsenal, Richarlison clashed with Gunners keeper Aaron Ramsdale and then refuse to shake hands with his countryman Martinelli. “What I really didn’t like was their goalkeeper. He was celebrating in front of our fans, that’s a disrespect to our fans. He should have celebrated with their fans. I’d like to apologise to Martinelli, I told him he was diving a lot, so I didn’t shake his hand. Also with Gabriel Magalhaes I told him they were stopping play all the time, I just said, ‘let’s play’” explained Richarlison. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6954529##
