A few weeks ago, Tottenham Hotspur’s Richarlison spoke freely to the Brazilian media about his off-field issues and the impact it had on him.
This player revealed that he was having personal problems and even said he would seek psychological help to resolve everything.
Following Tottenham’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal in the North London Derby on Sunday, Richarlison was interviewed by ESPN Brasil and was once again happy to talk about his current situation and how he is aiming for the game. against Liverpool.
Thankfully, he now seems to be a little better, explaining those struggles are now gone and he’s happy at Spurs.
“That outburst was a weight off my shoulders. After that, I think things got better, so much so that I came back here happy, the group embraced me here. I came back scoring goals, giving assists. It was good to get that off my chest. I’m a guy who keeps things to myself and, at that moment, I spoke from the heart,” Richarlison told ESPN Brasil.
The Tottenham player also explained that his problems had nothing to do with the club or the national team, as they were actually personal issues off the pitch. He’s now looking forward to Spurs’ game against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
“What I was suffering from wasn’t on the pitch, in training, it was the bad people around me. Thank God those people are gone, it’s all going to get better. Now I have to train as hard as I can this week to be a starter (against Liverpool).”
ESPN points out that the player recently stopped working with Renato Velasco, the agent who’d followed him his whole career.
Featuring for Tottenham this season, Richarlison has two goals and one assist in seven appearances so far. Out of the EFL Cup, Spurs now play Liverpool in the Premier League next Saturday.
