The Quiet Battle That Shaped Richarlison’s On-Field Performance
Richarlison, a £60 million acquisition by Tottenham Hotspur, has come under fire for his deteriorating goal-scoring performance. While the justifications from the previous year may have been valid, the image of the 26-year-old sobbing on the Brazil bench reveals a more nuanced picture. He openly acknowledged that his issues go beyond football and include difficulties in his personal life.
That sad moment wasn’t even a result of my poor play, he declared. “IT WAS MORE OF AN OUTBURST ABOUT THE THINGS OFF THE FIELD, WHICH GOT OUT OF CONTROL — NOT ON MY PART, BUT ON THE PART OF PEOPLE WHO WERE CLOSE TO ME,” the speaker continued.
The Internal Battles
Recent remarks from Richarlison provided light on a difficult time in his life and hinted at betrayals from individuals he trusted. “People who were only interested in my money left me.”
Natalie Gedra, a Brazilian football journalist, shares this opinion and emphasizes the horrible circumstances that many Brazilian footballers deal with.
In Brazil, it’s a typical occurrence for people to approach you and demand money, according to Gedra. “I’ve seen a lot of Brazilian players go bankrupt as a result of people approaching them and robbing them of their money, sometimes it’s even members of their own family,” the author said.
Ending the Taboo on Mental Health
Brazil has responded strongly to Richarlison’s candor about seeking psychological assistance. Even if talking about mental health is less taboo in Brazil than it is in the UK, it is still uncommon for football players to do so. Gedra notes that even while opinions are shifting, Richarlison’s candor is still a noteworthy advancement.

Performance Pressure
Richarlison’s difficulties on the pitch are obvious. He has only scored twice in his last 30 outings, which puts pressure on him. This is a sharp contrast to his prior performance, when he scored for Brazil once per 63 minutes on average. Can Richarlison’s spark be reignited under Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham’s new manager?
Besart Berisha, who previously collaborated with Postecoglou, thinks the solution may lay in the manager’s distinctive approach to man-management.
