Richarlison has publicly announced he will be in Tottenham’s starting lineup against Liverpool in their next Premier League clash.
Speaking to ESPN Brazil, the £60million striker said he is looking forward to being named in Ange Postecoglou’s squad to face the Red Devils this weekend in what is shaping up to be a successful match.
Richarlison started Sunday’s north London derby on the bench, and the striker is now eyeing a start in Saturday’s match against Liverpool.
Both teams are among the best in the Premier League, with a win on the day putting the pressure on Manchester City, which is something Liverpool will want to do.
And Richarlison wants to stop Liverpool’s march, with the striker saying:
“What I have to endure is not on the field or in practice but the bad people around me. “Thank God those people are gone, things will get better.” Now I have to train as hard as possible this week to play against Liverpool.
Liverpool hopes Richarlison and Tottenham get a break
Richarlison and Tottenham have started the new season in fine form, with Postecoglou making an instant impact with the north London side since joining from Celtic and winning plaudits along the way.
And for Liverpool, the Anfield side will be hoping that Spurs have their first off day under the Australian manager, with Tottenham still unbeaten in the Premier League.
A win for Klopp’s side will be quite the statement in the race for a UEFA Champions League spot, and Liverpool will hope Richarlison and Tottenham fail to turn up on Saturday in the English capital.
