Back to the Brazilian team at the hands of Carlo Ancelotti, who had already trained him at Everton, the player has shown that he does not want to lose his place in the green and yellow team
Free from the physical problems and criticism that plagued him in the last three years, once again has been decisive for Tottenham. The only Brazilian in the field in the match between the London and the Etihad Stadium set this Saturday (23), the striker participated in the two goals of his team 2-0 about the team led by Pep Guardiola, for the second round of.
Back to the Brazilian team at the hands of, who had already trained him at Everton, Richarlison has shown that he does not want to lose his place in the green and yellow team. After writing twice in Tottenham’s 3-0 win over Burnley, the striker did not swing the net, but gave an assist and forced the mistake of the celestial defense, which culminated in the second goal of visitors.
Coach Thomas Frank’s strategy was clear from the first few minutes: reinforcing the defensive sector to hold on City’s strong attack and fetch the counterattacks, with the front men pressing the ball. It was precisely in a quick exit that Richarlison received a long pass in midfield, in a nice position, validated by VAR, left in speed and crossed low for Johnson to open the scoring for Tottenham.
While the Brazilian team made a difference on the field, Pep Guardiola put his brasucas aside at City. Pretty by young goalkeeper Trafford, Ederson accompanied the bank’s game, as was Matheus Nunes. In the target of Tottenham, Savinho was not even related.
Nervous in the field, Trafford was insecure in the few opportunities where he was triggered. When he was pressured by Richarlison after the goalkeeper was shot, the goalkeeper touched “Na Bonfire” to Nico González and the Brazilian recovered the ball, which is left for João Palhinha to play for the empty goal and write down 2-0 in the first half.
At a disadvantage, Manchester City left up in the second half, controlling the possession and pricking the visiting area, but attacked in a disorganized way and found it difficult to pierce the London block. While Tottenham’s defensive sector toured the host’s creation and nullified Haaland, Sarr, Palhinha and Bentancur dominated the midfield, leaving Richarlison at ease to steal balls, provoke and disturb the opposing defense until replaced by Solanke in the final stretch, very the style that marks his best football.
