Richarlison: Rise of a Star

Born in Nova Venécia, State of Esperito Santo, in Brazil, it was clear Richarlison had a passion for football at a young age.

He grew up surrounded by gang and violence, despite all of his friends selling drugs, Richarlison sold chocolate and ice cream.

His place of birth is known for bringing up talented ‘ballers, Richarlison said in an interview it was always his dream to play in the Premier League, he used to watch it on his Uncle’s TV.

At the age of 14, Richarlison’s live could’ve been ended in an instant, he was mistaken for a drug lord and was confronted by a drug dealer, had a gun pointed to his nose, the drug dealer said: “If I see you again, I will shoot you with no problem”

2 years later, a very unexpected miracle happened, Renato Velasco spotted the young Brazilian winger and took him to America Miniero and later, to Fluminese, a team in Brazil’s top tier.

Former Watford and Everton manager Marco Silva had rang Richarlison and convinced him to come to Watford, despite not playing for the Brazil national team, he managed to get a work permit, a fellow Brazilian was besides him at all times, Arsenal’s winger, Willian, who helped Richarlison a lot.

After Marco Silva’s sacking at Watford, he was later appointed Everton manager, who decided to take Richarlison with him, costing Everton around £50M.

Having scored twice on his Everton debut, the toffees fans instantly fell in love with him, his passion is obvious, lives and breathes Everton Football Club, exactly what us fans want.

Hopefully this is just the beginning of a wonderful career.

 Ancelotti on Everton's defeat to Aston Villa Everton went into the game in need of a win to extend their European hopes, a poor run of home form was a hot topic before kick off, and this game proved to be no different than any home game this year, Carlo Ancelotti stated in his post match interview: “We didn’t play good, we didn’t start well, we made a lot of mistakes, no balance, no concentration, it was a not a good of evening” It was a script we have seen many times this season, losing to a team, that realistically we should be beating if we want to be serious challengers for Europe. Carlo: “I think we have to be a lot more focused and have a lot more desire” Despite an incredible win away to Arsenal only 7 days ago, it seemed a completely different team that played tonight, “This season, the home form is like this, it is difficult to say why, it’s the same team that beat Arsenal 7 days ago” “We could do better at home for sure, it is unbelievable the run we had away” “We were n

Everton: Sell, or keep?

Jordan Pickford- Keep. I’d keep Jordan Pickford, he’s shown that he is capable of being our number one countless times this season.  Robin Olsen- Sell. I wouldn’t keep Robin Olsen, I don’t think he is very reliable and is not good enough. A good back up, but not a good first team player.  Joao Virginia- Keep. No brainier here, I’d keep Joao Virginia at Everton. Perhaps a loan move is on the cards for him. He performed well in the games he played this season, but I think he needs a loan move.  Seamus Coleman- Keep. The club captain, he will stay for another season but as a backup option I think. A right back is a must in the summer for Everton.  Jonjoe Kenny- Sell. Kenny is not good enough. He never has been and never will be, one of the worst players I have saw play for us as a right back, Cuco Martina is a better right back than Kenny! Sell for as much as possible  Michael Keane- Keep. Keane is a solid backup, but I think our best partnership is Mina and Godfrey. I’d expect    Keane t
