Richarlison reveals why he cried: I’ll seek psychological help

• Sports

Tottenham forward, Richarlison, cried on the bench during the match with Bolivia after being substituted. Many believed that the main reason for this was his poor performance. However, this great Brazilian decided to open up and reveal that there are completely other reasons for this; ‘That sad moment [on Brazil’s bench] wasn’t even because I played poorly, in my opinion I didn’t play a bad game in Belem, it was more of an outburst about the things that were happening off the field, which got out of control not on my part, but on the part of people who were close to me,’ Richarlison said, as quoted by METRO!

Richarlison decided to seek professional help and talk to a psychologist. He realized that the time had finally come for that, considering everything he had experienced in the past few years. 'I’m going to go back to England, I’ll seek psychological help, from a psychologist, to work on my mind.

That’s it, come back stronger.'

Richarlison: Sometimes, things don’t go the way we want

It seems that the Brazilian has certain problems within the family, or the problems are of some other nature. Although many believed that his crying was due to bad form, Richarlison is facing problems that apparently no one knows about.

‘I believe I will be in the next squad, I will work for that. It’s about getting a good streak at Tottenham, this week I’m going to sit down and talk to them, I need a good streak, get the rhythm of the game and get here well.

On the field I’m a happy team player, I try to help as much as possible. Sometimes, things don’t go the way we want. I think this part is a bit of the off-field side that ended up getting in my way. Even though you want to do things right, it ends up going wrong.

I will continue to focus on the club, the storm has passed.' Richarlison seems to have solved the main problem, and is finally ready to give his best for Tottenham. ‘I went through a turbulent time in the last five months off the field.

Now things are right at home. People who only had an eye on my money walked away from me. Now things will start to flow, I’m sure I’ll get a good run at Tottenham and make things happen again.’
