Vinicius Jr has simply used the word ‘wow’ to describe Tottenham forward Richarlison on international duty for Brazil, as he posted on the player’s Instagram.
On Friday night, Brazil secured a comfortable 3-0 win over Ghana in an international friendly, with Tottenham’s summer signing helping himself to a brace.
There is some serious competition in Tite’s squad and Richarlison is amongst the pack heading towards the 2022 World Cup.
It needs to be remembered someone like Gabriel Jesus, who has had an outstanding start to life at Arsenal, wasn’t even selected.
This is a player that perhaps would walk into squads for nations such as England, Germany, Portugal and Spain, to name a few, yet he might just be booking a mini holiday between November-December, rather than being in Qatar.
Euro football expert Julien Laurens spoke about Jesus’ chances of earning that Golden ticket to Qatar, and given that he wasn’t selected for the last squad before the World Cup, then he feels Jesus now has very little chance of breaking into the squad.
BRAZIL ONE OF THE FAVOURITES
A nation that has always nurtured and built colourful, dynamic, elegant and ridiculously entertaining players, they head to Qatar as one of the favourites.
Whilst questions will be asked as to why Gareth Southgate’s England have a similar tag, one thing is for sure, Brazil deserve their tag.
From their aggressive-natured and no-nonsense defensive-minded players to their outrageous attack.
Brazil might just cook up something special at the World Cup, and if that engine warms up, then they will be hard to stop.
