Diniz underlines the tactical importance of Richarlison and justifies the attacker’s ownership in the national team

The Brazilian team had its second ball training this Wednesday before facing Venezuela this Thursday in the qualifiers. Although he has not confirmed the team that will take the field, coach Fernando Diniz has indicated that the basis of the team should be the same as the last two matches.




The one who should be among the starters is Tottenham striker Richarlison. The player has not found the net for the national team since the victory over South Korea in the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar. The athlete doesn’t like the drought, who during the match against Bolivia, in the last FIFA meeting, left with tears in his eyes for not having scored a goal.

Despite going six games without scoring, Richarlison has the manager’s support. Diniz specified that the choice of the striker as starter is of a technical nature and not of emotional support.

“Analyzing the matches, he contributed in a very positive way, so the choice, at this moment, is technical. Obviously it is also important for him emotionally, but it is a technical choice, he was an important player both against Bolivia and against Peru “Unfortunately against Peru, we still don’t know today whether he was offside or not, he didn’t score the goal. But he was a player who, in my opinion, contributed to us winning both matches”, Diniz said during the collective.

Against Peru, Richarlison made his mark, but the goal was disallowed for offside. After the match, the player revealed that he was going through personal problems and was seeking psychological help. Since then, the striker has scored a goal and provided two assists for Tottenham. For Diniz, Richarlison’s tactical importance is as valuable as the numbers.

“If Richarlison had scored a goal in every game he had a chance to score, we would say he played very well and was very good. He didn’t score a goal, but he played well in both games, both tactically and tactically. .both side and technique,” ​​he said.

The Brazilian team will face Venezuela this Thursday at the Arena Pantanal, in Cuiabá (MT), in the third round of the qualifiers. The ball rolls at 9.30pm (Brasilia time). In this FIFA match, the Brazilian team will also face Uruguay next Tuesday, October 17, at 9pm, at the Centenário Stadium, in Uruguay.
