🎥 Call-up deserved? Richarlison shines in Tottenham’s PL opener | OneFootball

Well-known to Carlo Ancelotti, Richarlison had the trust of the Brazilian national team's coach in the last games for the Qualifiers - the first of the Italian.

And he shows that he is willing to continue on Carleto's radar with an eye on the next call-up on the 25th.

Starting for Tottenham again, he scored two goals - one of them was a great goal - in the 3-0 victory over Burnley this Saturday (16), in the inaugural round of the Premier League 2025/2026.

He opened the scoring in the crowded Tottenham Spurs Stadium just ten minutes in, completing a cross from Kudus.

He extended the lead in the 15th minute of the final stage, again after a play by one of the new Spurs reinforcements.

Great goal that reminded the one scored against Serbia in the 2022 World Cup.

It was similar, wasn't it...

Brennan Johnson completed the scoring in the 21st minute. But without a pass from Kudus. Sarr was the one who collaborated.

Back in the elite, Burnley, led by Walker, fought hard. But left much to be desired.

Now will he?

Richarlison left the game shortly after to make way for Solanke, who was recovering from an injury and, therefore, did not start the season in top form.

After many injuries, the Brazilian striker ended the last season with only 24 games - 11 as a starter. And only five goals - two of them in the PL.

He had already had a good performance against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup final and started well in the Premier League.

Does he deserve to be called up again for the national team? Opine!

Brazil will face Chile (Maracanã) and Bolivia (Municipal de El Alto) on September 4th and 9th.

They will be the final rounds of the Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
