Postecoglou must now make major Richarlison decision at Hotspur Way

Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison has been going through a tricky period with the club.

• Richarlison’s recent struggles at Tottenham Hotspur may have been due to off-pitch issues, but he has spoken about getting things back on track.
•  Richarlison’s emotional moment on the bench during an international game was more about personal issues than his performance on the field.
•  Journalist Paul Brown hopes that Richarlison’s recent goal and assist will be a turning point for him and that he can now establish himself in the Tottenham starting lineup.

Richarlison, a forward for Tottenham Hotspur, has had a challenging few weeks. Journalist Paul Brown feels he’s turned the corner and spoke to GIVEMESPORT about what we might see from the Brazilian over

the coming months.

Against Sheffield United last Saturday, the former Watford attacker had a crucial influence.

Richarlison’s latest Tottenham Hotspur news

Richarlison transferred from Everton to Hotspur Way last summer for a cost of £60 million, earning £175k per week. There is no getting around the reality that Richarlison hasn’t been at his best since joining

Spurs, and after being photographed crying on the national team bench, he has now publicly discussed the difficulties he has faced both on and off the field.

 

“I went through a turbulent time in the last five months off the pitch. Now things are fine at home. People who only had an eye on my money are no longer close to me. Now things will start to flow. I’m sure I’ll get on a good run at Tottenham and make things happen again. That sad moment (in which he cried at being substituted for Brazil against Bolivia) wasn’t even because I played poorly, in my opinion. I didn’t put in a bad display in Belém. It was more of an outburst about the things that were happening off the pitch, which got out of control not as far as I’m concerned, but involving people who were close to me. I’m going to go back to England, seek psychological help from a psychologist to work on my mind.”

Ange Postecoglou opted to drop Richarlison from the starting 11 against Burnley earlier in the campaign after he failed to hit the back of the net in the opening games. Heung-min Son was selected in a centre-forward role, scoring a hat-trick against Vincent Kompany’s men. However, Richarlison appears to have returned to Spurs from international duty a rejuvenated man, and maybe getting a few words off his chest has helped him mentally. The Brazil striker came off the bench at the weekend to score and provide an assist in added time, turning the game around for Spurs.

I hope it is a turning point for Richarlison – Paul Brown

Brown previously told GIVEMESPORT that he was concerned about the body language of Richarlison earlier in the season. Now, the journalist is hoping that this is a turning point for Richarlison and he can now go on an extended run in the side. Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, he said…

“I hope it is a turning point for him because there is a great player in there and the manager has put a lot of trust in him playing him in that number nine role. That adds some pressure obviously because, you know, we all know that Harry Kane was was playing that role for Spurs last season. I think the goal will do him the world of good, he clearly needed it. He’s had the weight of the world on his shoulders for a couple of weeks. But I think the manager at Spurs has handled this really well and Richarlison knows he still has his trust. I’d really like to see him go on a run and show what he can do because he didn’t really get a whole lot of chances last season and I think he needs a run in the team to to really prove his worth, so hopefully he’ll do that from now on.”
