Tottenham star Richarlison has been filmed getting to grips with Manchester United midfielder Fred in the Brazil World Cup camp.
The Seleção were lining up for a team photo in Qatar, where Fred sat front and centre next to Dani Alves and ahead of Alisson Becker.
However, Richarlison believed that spot should go to Brazil’s talisman Neymar, and promptly dragged the Manchester United No.17 away.
Tottenham man gets to grips with Manchester United star
Well, this incident initially sounds like it was all in jest, although the body language from both players is interesting.
Fred struggles after being pulled to his feet by Richarlison, before tussling with the £60m Tottenham striker as if to suggest he didn’t want to move positions.
The Spurs No.9 eventually gets what he wants and shoves Fred over to the right side of the bench, before Neymar is photographed sitting front and centre of the Brazil squad, as seen below along with the 13-second video.
It was a funny moment to witness, although Fred did not look too happy.
Nevertheless, when the £200m man Neymar is involved, he doesn’t really have much of a leg to stand on within the Brazil camp.
Manchester United star almost injured Tottenham striker
Fred’s teammate at Old Trafford, Casemiro, is also part of the Brazil squad, and he almost injured Richarlison’s ankle in a session yesterday.
As covered here on HITC Sport, the £70m maestro could be seen flying into the Tottenham forward with his studs up, and fortunately, Richarlison managed to hurdle the challenge before Casemiro could make contact.
Richarlison is expected to lead the line as No.9 for Brazil in Qatar, so Tite would have surely been furious if an injury happened.
However, the 61-year-old is said to be in favour of intense training sessions, so if anything did occur, he would not be able to complain too much.
