Richarlison has revealed that he will speak to a psychologist when he returns to Tottenham and says his tears on Brazil\u2019s bench last week were due to personal issues away from football.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old was spotted crying on Brazil\u2019s bench after he was substituted in the 5-1 win against Bolivia on Friday evening.<\/p>\n
The assumption was that Richarlison, who has not scored in his last five appearances for Brazil, was unhappy after missing from close range against Bolivia.<\/p>\n
But the Tottenham forward, who kept his starting role for Brazil\u2019s 1-0 victory over Peru on Tuesday evening and had a goal ruled out for offside by VAR, has revealed that off-field issues have been a factor behind his struggles on the pitch.<\/p>\n
\u2018That sad moment [on Brazil\u2019s bench] wasn\u2019t even because I played poorly, in my opinion I didn\u2019t play a bad game in Belem, it was more of an outburst about the things that were happening off the field, which got out of control not on my part, but on the part of people who were close to me,\u2019 Richarlison said.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m going to go back to England, I\u2019ll seek psychological help, from a psychologist, to work on my mind. That\u2019s it, come back stronger.<\/p>\n

\u2018I believe I will be in the next squad, I will work for that. It\u2019s about getting a good streak at Tottenham, this week I\u2019m going to sit down and talk to them, I need a good streak, get the rhythm of the game and get here well.<\/p>\n
\u2018On the field I\u2019m a happy team player, I try to help as much as possible. Sometimes, things don\u2019t go the way we want.<\/p>\n
\u2018I think this part is a bit of the off-field side that ended up getting in my way. Even though you want to do things right, it ends up going wrong. I will continue to focus on the club, the storm has passed.<\/p>\n
\u2018I went through a turbulent time in the last five months off the field. Now things are right at home.<\/p>\n
\u2018People who only had an eye on my money walked away from me. Now things will start to flow, I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll get a good run at Tottenham and make things happen again.\u2019<\/p>\n
