Everton star Richarlison isn’t that popular among Liverpool fans right now.
Well, this has been true since the day he joined the Toffees – Liverpool’s Merseyside rivals – in a £50 million deal.
But it’s certainly true at the moment about the Brazilian attacker lunged in on Thiago Alcantara during Everton’s 2-2 draw with the Reds at Goodison Park last month.
Thiago hasn’t been seen since due to injury.
Although fans of the Premier League champions aren’t keen on Richarlison right now, one Liverpool player remains friendly with him, it seems.
Roberto Firmino was the hero for Brazil last night as they beat Venezuela 1-0 in World Cup qualifying, with the 29-year-old scoring the game’s only goal.
And the pair were photographed embracing one another immediately after the goal:
Firmino clearly harbours no resentment against the Everton attacker.
But Liverpool fans won’t forgive Richarlison for a while yet, particularly after some questionable social media entries after the tackle on Thiago.
