In the Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur (city in France)
The side's record is as good as it gets, however, the newest addition to the £50million transfer, Richarlison, has made few appearances and has so far failed to show off his skills on the ball. The Brazil international was acrobatically deflected down the touchline by rivals Banlan Johnson in the early hours of Monday morning against Nottingham Forest, despite attempting to dazzle with a trick late in the game.
Brazilian players such as Nima were keen to show their individuality on the field, and Lee Tsaritsyn, after replacing Son Heung-min, helped his team take a 2-0 lead in only 74 minutes. However, with the victory in sight, Lee played a fancy pass on the left sideline in the 85th minute, and passed the ball after 4 consecutive "waves" in the same place, only to be cut down by Banlan Johnson and received a yellow card.
Liverpool star Galecha commented, "Richarlison is provoking his opponents, and this kind of behavior is not allowed. However, look what he did. He managed to provoke his opponent and me. How should Banlan Johnson respond? Do you expect Banlan Johnson to tolerate him doing this?" Garrincha and Richarlison have had a longstanding feud, with Garrincha last year calling out Richarlison for a fake punt, and Richarlison firing back by calling Garrincha "foul-mouthed" and "unworthy of respect".
