What Emerson Royal is always teasing Richarlison about behind the scenes at Tottenham

Emerson Royal will often tease Tottenham Hotspur teammate Richarlison behind the scenes over something he often does after games.

There appears to be a brilliant atmosphere and unity amongst the Spurs squad this season. They are clearly loving life under Ange Postecoglou. And that is coming across in many of their performances.

One player who has been transformed in recent times is Richarlison. The Brazilian has now scored nine goals in his last 10 games in all competitions. Richarlison’s latest brilliant performance came at Everton as he found the back of the net on two occasions.

The Athletic notes that Richarlison is often very open when speaking to the media after games. And that is actually something Emerson Royal will tease his teammate about.

Striker’s struggles make his return to form all the more satisfying

Obviously, journalists will often go into press conferences knowing that the questions they simply have to ask will get batted away. But they still have to ask them just in case.

So there are certainly no complaints about Richarlison being prepared to open up. Few Tottenham fans will forget Hugo Lloris‘ interview after the club’s loss to Dinamo Zagreb. Sometimes hearing players be so honest is exactly what some fans need.

It arguably makes it more satisfying when you see someone like Richarlison prove his critics wrong. We, on the outside, have an idea of what he has gone through to get to this point.

It is fantastic to see Richarlison playing so well. And, as a neutral, it would be brilliant to see him continue to silence his doubters.

One of the reasons that he seems to be much more likeable than many give him credit for is because of how open and honest he has been during his career.
