On Sunday, during Nottingham Forest-Tottenham, Richarlison was mowed down by an opponent after juggling. An episode not unlike a precedent with Neymar, his compatriot’s first defender against attacks from former player Dietmar Hamann.
Should sleeping excessively and without reason be sanctioned? The debate returns to the table in the Premier League after this weekend. Indeed, the new Tottenham player Richarlison came to provoke the defense of Nottingham Forest with a series of juggles, while the score was made for Spurs. The Brazilian then suffered a vigorous tackle from Brennan Johnson. An episode that divided the followers of English football. If the proponents of champagne football have nothing to complain about the behavior of Richarlison, others are annoyed by the lack of respect of the Brazilian. This is particularly the case of Dietmar Hamann.

The German, a former Tottenham and Liverpool player, has in no way defended the Spurs striker. The two men clashed on Twitter in the aftermath of the match. ” Nothing to do with chambering. It would have deserved a yellow card for unsportsmanlike behavior with a free kick for Forest “Posted the former Mannschaft player. Richarlison replied tit for tat with a brief message: “ Cry again ».

A response that received support from his friend Neymar, who simply posted several smiling smileys. It could not have been otherwise on his part, quite the contrary. The Brazilian from PSG is accustomed to the fact, having already suffered faults for this and even a yellow card. This had been the case in February 2020 against Montpellier where he had dribbled excessively before an altercation with the referee which had earned him a warning. He must have been reassured by Ligue 1 after seeing the treatment meted out for such behavior in the Premier League.
