In the match against Bolivia, Richarlison couldn’t hide his tears on the bench after being substituted. The bad phase of the English championship was reflected in a fast for the Brazilian team, which the attacker failed to put an end to the new victory of Fernando Diniz’s team in the qualifiers last Tuesday (12), against Peru.
At the National Stadium in Lima, Marquinhos ensured Amarelinha’s triumph with a goal in the 44th minute of the second half.
With this, Richarlison reached the milestone of five games without scoring in a Seleção shirt. The last goal he scored dates back to the World Cup, in Brazil’s 4-1 victory over South Korea, in a match valid for the round of 16.
Against Peru the Tottenham center forward even managed to score. In the 29th minute of the first half, Bruno Guimarães crossed with just enough power and precision and Richarlison headed the ball into the net.
However, after a six-minute stoppage for offside, Argentine referee Fernando Rapallini used VAR to disallow the Brazilian goal.
Brazil will now only return to the pitch next month. On the 12th, at the Arena Pantanal, Fernando Diniz’s men will host Venezuela at 9.30pm (Brasilia time), in the third round of the South American Qualifiers. If he is called up, there will therefore be new chances for Richarlison to end the drought.
