Richarlison granted, this Wednesday, an exclusive to ELEVEN. Currently at Tottenham, the Brazilian forward thanked Marco Silva, the coach who brought him from Fluminense to Watford.
«I think that if it hadn’t been for Marco Silva, and obviously I had had the desire and strength to win, I would have returned to Brazil or I would have still been at Watford, I don’t know. When he brought me here and let me play, I had a few games where I wasn’t doing very well, because I wasn’t adapted to the cold in England which meant that the performances were not the best. From the moment he left Watford for Everton and called me, my life changed completely. At Everton I managed to make the Brazilian team. I think working with him has improved a lot, so I’m totally grateful to him. I remember we played against Fulham here and I offered them my shirt as a sign of gratitude. I think he’s someone I will always remember, “he said.
And this Wednesday, Tottenham will visit Manchester United. Injured, Richarlison will not play, but has left wide praise for Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro, two of the most famous names in the red devils.
Cristiano Ronaldo is an idol of a generation and, like him, he is also Casemiro. I think the two have already won everything in life and for us, who are still young, they must be an inspiration. Every player wants to be like them when it comes to titles and professionalism. They are two players who make the difference ”, he concluded.
