Although Richarlison showed a lack of determination and confidence, the local media gave favorable reviews.
Tottenham Hotspur drew 2-2 with Manchester United in the 33rd round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-23 season held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England at 4:15 am on the 28th. With this, Tottenham rose to 5th place in the league with 16 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses (54 points).
The home team Tottenham started with a 3-4-2-1 formation. Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son, Richarlison, Ivan Perisic, Oliver Skip, Pierre-Emile Hoivier, Pedro Poro, Clement Lenglet, Eric Dyer, Christian Romero and Fraser Foster started. The away team, United, faced off with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandez, Anthony, Christian Eriksen, etc.
Temporary coach Ryan Mason came up with a different type of tactics than before, appointing Richarlison on the left and Son Heung-min on the right. Richarlison’s main role was to be located in the center forward position where Kane went down, receiving the ball and linking it. The strength to endure is good, so the connection was made without much difficulty.
However, the influence from the side was disappointing. In the 13th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min’s one-touch pass was caught by Richarlison. In a one-on-one confrontation with Victor Lindelof, Richarlison even made a shot, but headed straight to the goalkeeper and blew the opportunity.
I also had the perfect opportunity. Richarlison released a one-two pass from the side in the 28th minute of the first half and immediately had a one-on-one opportunity with the goalkeeper. However, Richarlison’s choice was a pass, and the opportunity was destroyed as the Manchester United defense blocked it. It was a scene that showed a lack of confidence. Richarlison took several chances from the left side after that, but failed to make use of the opportunity due to complacent passing and poor judgment. 먹튀검증
In the end, he was the first to be substituted out that day. In the 16th minute of the second half, Dejan Kulusevski came in and Richarlison headed to the bench. Richarlison, who played about 61 minutes, ended the game with 1 shot, 3 dribble attempts (2 successful), and 8 duels (4 successful).
However, the local media praised it. England’s ‘Evening Standard’ gave it a rating of 7, saying, “He posed a threat from the left, but he lacked decisiveness and lacked confidence in front of the goal.” England’s ‘Football London’ gave a rating of 6, saying, “Richarlison caused problems with his lively performance and Manchester United’s left side.”
Richarlison failed to score on this day as well. With this, he is still unable to score his league debut goal since moving to Tottenham. After moving to Tottenham, Richarlison has been silent since scoring multiple goals in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) group stage against Marseille last September. He is in a situation where he has not scored a single goal in 24 matches in all competitions.
