Brazilian international Richarlison, who plays for Tottenham, referred to his own behavior during the North London derby.
On January 16, the English newspaper “The Mirror” reported his comments.
On January 15, the 20th match of the Premier League season took place, with Tottenham playing at home against their arch-rivals Arsenal. Tottenham allowed Arsenal to take the lead in the 14th minute through an own goal by French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, and in the 36th minute, Norwegian midfielder Martin Udegård hit a powerful shot through the middle to make it a two-goal difference. The match ended 0-2. The game ended 0-2, a disappointing defeat in a derby match.
The North London derby was a heated affair, with both sides’ pride and willpower clashing with each other. Immediately after the match ended, trouble occurred. After the whistle blew, Richarlison approached Arsenal’s English goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who was expressing his joy in front of the goal with the Tottenham supporters in the background, and the two sides got into an argument. The player was then kicked by one supporter when Ramsdale retrieved a squeeze bottle next to the goal.
Richarlison told “ESPN” after the game, “I didn’t like the Arsenal goalkeeper celebrating the victory in front of our fans/supporters. It was disrespectful to our fans and supporters. So I went to stop him. They had their own supporters. We should celebrate with them and not involve our supporters. He complained about Ramsdale’s behavior and explained his own actions.
Richarlison also mentioned that he did not shake hands with Arsenal’s Brazilian international Gabrieu Martinelli during the match. I want to apologize to him [Martinelli]. He reached out to me, but I didn’t respond. Like it or not, we are teammates for Brazil. It happened during the game, it was a derby, and we were in the heat of the moment.
Tottenham are expected to take severe action against the supporter who kicked Ramsdale, including a ban from the stadium.
