Tottenham’s Richarlison (26) had a disappointing season.
British media ‘Spurs Web’ said on the 14th (Korean time), “Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino picked Richarlison as the worst player of the season.”
Cascarino told British media ‘TalkSport’: “If you’re looking for the worst player this season, you have to say Richarlison. He made little effort and didn’t seem interested in the game.”
“Obviously, Antonio Conte knows about his performance, that he brought out the areas he didn’t play well, but he seemed to be lacking in effort,” he added.
He also said, “I can’t believe it. He was the player responsible for Everton’s performance last season. But he couldn’t show that at Tottenham.”
Richarlison is a Brazilian striker whose main positions are striker and winger. He excels in his athletic abilities, such as his high speed and high jumping ability. His greatest strength is his ability to score using this. He was active with 11 goals and 5 assists in a total of 33 games in the last 2021-22 season.
Tottenham has been highly dependent on Son Heung-min and Harry Kane for attack. Conte wanted to strengthen the striker. Richarlison was immediately targeted. He succeeded in recruiting a huge amount of 60 million pounds (approximately 100.1 billion won).스포츠토토
However, he is not performing as well as expected. He has only 3 goals and 4 assists in 33 games this season. He has only scored 1 goal and 4 assists in 25 Premier League appearances. His Premier League starts are just 12.
Cascarino said, “Any footballer can go through a slump. He also goes through tough times. I thought his move was a good move. “Did you ever put pressure on Dejan Kulusevski? I’d say no. Richarlison was a big disappointment.”
