A hilarious video has emerged involving Tottenham Hotspur’s Richarlison and Manchester United’s Fred. The Spurs forward moves the Man United midfielder from the middle of the photo shoot to make room for Neymar Jr.
Fred admittedly does look a little confused in the video clip which was posted on Twitter, but he likely saw the funny side of it afterwards.
Richarlison was clearly just joking around, indicating he may be one of the jokers in Brazil’s World Cup squad. Either way, it’s a side that’s filled with absolute quality.
He stated:
“Get out Fred, get out of there, go over there. For free, you know it’s Neymar.”
The South American side kick off their tournament off against Serbia on Thursday. Cameroon and Switzerland also feature in their group, so it’s to be excepted that Brazil will find their way out of the group stage.
TIF’s view on the Richarlison and Fred video…
We think it’s nice to see footballers show their human side. The video is clearly just light-hearted joking about among teammates, we doubt Fred took it personally at all.
Furthermore, the fact they’re able to joke around with one another suggests good team spirit in the Brazil camp.
And the Brazilian has certainly had an influence since joining Spurs with two crucial goals in the Champions League against Marseille early on in the group stages.
However, he is still in search of finding his first goal in the Premier League for the Lilywhites which was certainly not helped by his recent injury scare which saw him miss four league games (via Transfermarkt).
The spotlight, in particular, will be on Neymar, but Richarlison has been in sensational form under Tite recently with seven goals in his last six appearances.
