Richarlison Becomes an Issue at Tottenham, Coach De Zerbi: He Wouldn’t Play Even in the Carabao Cup!

Tottenham’s start to the season is far below expectations for one of the clubs that spent the most in the summer transfer window. The Londoners have not scored a single goal in their 4 matches so far.

The club has a “Richarlison” issue, with the Brazilian striker not included at all in the list of players called up in the Premier League in recent days. Coach Roberto De Zerbi was clear when speaking about his situation: “I know what he has done. He wouldn’t play even if he were available, not even in the Carabao Cup.”

The statement prompted a reaction from the player. The Brazilian responded to coach De Zerbi’s words, writing: “Why?”. The clash between the two is surely not over here. Richarlison has been widely rumored in the transfer market for a possible move to Turkey, to Trabzonspor. For now he remains out of the squad, and the coach has no plans to use him.
