“83 times i’ve stepped onto this pitch”- Richarlison Breaks Silence on ‘Bizarre’ Shirtless Lap of Honour at Everton. You won’t believe why he did that after Tottenham’s CRUSHING defeat
Richarlison has explained his shirtless lap of honour at Everton, which was met with confusion and labelled “bizarre” by many.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The Brazilian forward came off the bench for Tottenham during their 3-2 defeat at Goodison Park. Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou made changes at halftime after his team found themselves trailing 3-0. Richarlison did manage to score, but it wasn’t enough to salvage a point for his side.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
At the final whistle, as Tottenham players and staff apologized to their away supporters for another disappointing Premier League performance, Richarlison chose to take a solo lap of honour. Given the situation, his actions were seen as odd by some observers.
DID YOU KNOW?
Richarlison spent four years at Everton from 2018 to 2022, making 152 appearances and scoring 53 goals. His shirtless lap of honour marked his final appearance at Goodison Park before Everton moves to their new stadium next season.
WHAT RICHARLISON SAID
In response to the criticism, Richarlison took to social media to explain his actions: “I feel very fulfilled for all the 83 times I’ve stepped onto this pitch. Where I played the most and scored the most goals in my entire career. Today, for the last time. Thank you, Goodison Park!”
WHAT NEXT?
While Spurs fans would have preferred to see Richarlison celebrating a win, Everton supporters have expressed their respect for a player who hasn’t forgotten the significant impact his time at Goodison had on his career.
