Richarlison is looking to continue his flying start for Tottenham this season
Tottenham forward Richarlison has certainly made a flying start under Thomas Frank this season. The Brazil international is finally enjoying life at N17, and fans will hope that this continues for a long time. It is fair to say that the prolific attacker looks determined to turn around his career at the North London club this season under the Danish tactician.
The 28-year-old has already managed to score two goals and provide an assist in just three Premier League games this year. But it is also his work ethic and the drive to succeed which sets him apart in the team, as Richarlison is leading the team from the front and making full use of the chance given to him by Thomas Frank.
The Spurs No.9’s performance against Burnley in the season opener was the highlight of the month for the fans. The acrobatic goal, all-round individual brilliance, and his sharpness in front of goal was termed as ‘absolutely phenomenal’ by Thomas Frank. Not only that, but Richarlison’s strong start to the season has also earned him a national team call-up for the ongoing international break.
Tottenham star Richarlison is aiming high for this season
Many fans questioned Thomas Frank’s decision to back Richarlison and start him up front when Tottenham kicked off their campaign against PSG. But the Brazil international has not looked back since then, and he looks determined to maintain his spot in the starting eleven. Not only that, but the 28-year-old has also said time and again that he wants to repay Thomas Frank’s faith in him by performing consistently week in week out.
Now, Richarlison has shared his goal and objectives for this season, following a strong start to the new campaign. Speaking to Daily Mail, the attacker said,
“I have my goals for this year. The first is to stay healthy and keep at a high level throughout the year. That’s essential so I can help Tottenham perform well in the competitions we’ll play. This year we’re back in the Champions League after two years, the Premier League, where we need to have a campaign worthy of the club, then the World Cup, and so on.”
The Spurs No.9 added,
“And I want to score goals, win titles, and be important for the club and the national team. I hope it’s a blessed season and that I can crown all this work by playing another World Cup.”
Richarlison has made it clear that he intends to stay injury-free and play at a high level for Tottenham this season. The Brazilian is keen to lead the club from the front in the Champions League and the Premier League, helping Thomas Frank build on the Europa League success this year. Not only that, but the 28-year-old is also aiming to score loads of goals and win major trophies, ending the season with a call-up for his national team for the 2026 World Cup.
