It was not the expected start to the game at Southampton-Tottenham. There were four injured in 36′! The first was richarlisonwho felt muscle discomfort just 2 minutes into the match and he was replaced in tears a minute later. The crying of the Brazilian striker, a sad image.
The attacker of the Brazilian team is not having a good present and, as if that were not enough, injuries are not helping him. “This season is shit”he said a little over a week ago, and fortune is definitely not on his side.
He arrived at Spurs at the beginning of the season from Everton, in exchange for almost 60 million euros. However, his numbers were not as expected. With two goals and three assists in 25 games so far this season, this Saturday he suffered a new setback…
“I’m honest with you, this season has been shit. I’m a professional, I work a lot every day. I want to play. I didn’t understand (Conte’s) choices. I was in a very positive moment, I had played well against West Ham and Chelsea, but He put me on the bench again. Yesterday (last Tuesday) he tried me in the starting 11 and then… the bench, again”, declared the Brazilian.
