Premier League released its list of the best players of the 1st round of the competition. Richarlison, Brazilian Tottenham striker, won the popular vote after scoring two beautiful goals in the London team’s victory over Burnley.
The Brazilian had 27% of the votes, surpassing names such as Dan Ballard, from Sunderland, Hugo Ekitike of Liverpool, Erling Haaland, Manchester City, Tijjani Reijnders, Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth, and Chris Wood, from Nottingham Forest.
Under the command of Thomas Frank, Richarlison tries to regain good football and good physical condition after injuries and mental health issues, who pushed the player out of the lawns and the Brazilian team after the Qatar World Cup dispute in 2022.
“I always said … after three years just taking stones, criticism on top of each other, I always said I needed a preseason.” All players know that a preseason is important. So after three years I was able to perform a preseason. I’m fine physically and, thank God, I was able to go back well, help the team, have the coach’s confidence, ”Richarlison said in an interview with ESPN after the match against Burnley.
– I’ve always been available to the selection. It is not today that I say the selection is my life. Since long ago I had to take a vacation so I could go to the Olympics. The doctors said not to go, because in front I would suffer, and that’s what happened… I had an injury on top of the other. But the selection has always been a dream, ”he continued.
– Starting the season well is important, because on the 25th there is a call. So it is important to start well. Day 25 I will be in front of the small screen to see if my name leaves. If you leave, I will be one of the happiest people in the world. I hope I can remain happy and helping my team and the national team – finished.
