Love you so much Richardson 🥲🇧🇷❤️ 2026 ☝🏽🫵🏽🎁❤️🇧🇷
Great transparency about the importance of mental health supporters in the sport from Richy. Even those at the top need to be checked on and supported at times. No one is impervious to struggle and it’s great to see him give support for others who might also be struggling.
He should try get in touch with Adriano, poor guy hasnt been the same after his father passed away
you need real cojones to see a psychologist. to do what needs to be done like that is being a real man
All love, Richy ♥
Highest respect for him!
Massive respect to him for speaking about this and to also say that going to a psychologist is no big deal and it's a healthy thing to do. It's just a professional person that helps you deal with your personal problems and guides you on your way. They don't magically fix your problems but they support your mental healing.
Good for him! You already see the difference in his output on the pitch. Complete night and day. No one should ever be afraid of seeking help no matter how strong they think they are or what others might think. You have to walk your own path.
Modric sent him into depression 😂😂😂
Massive respect to Richy for doing this. Hopefully it will help others who are struggling to realise that there is nothing shameful or weak about reaching out for help when you need it – in fact, it takes a great deal of strength to do so. Good luck to him 💙💙💙💙 /Pablo
Don’t joke with depression. It’s really bad illness.
Take a chill pill dude
This explains why he is so soft on the pitch…tiny push and he goes flying
Brazilians love soccer a lot of people don’t realize how much
So why was he in depression to begin with..?
Richarlison é um exemplo dentro e fora de campo. Dias maus, todos teremos. Quisera ele compreender que nem tudo que ele lia na Internet era o que realmente pensavem dele. Eu, como brasileiro, só tenho orgulho. Foi a grande alegria da nossa seleção brasileira na Copa de 2022 e espero que fique bem para proporcionar ainda mais alegrias.
Maybe his girlfriend cheated on him. He says he discovered things about people he was living with for seven years, that explains his troubles
he was under too much pressure
You can see the love for his country. Well done
Life's tough, wear a helmet..
Brave guy! God Protects and Bless you.
Thats what u get for playing for tottenham! 💀
Your doing great, Richy. Dont you ever give up. You inspire a lot of people. Stay strong.
One word: warrior👏
Oh my God I sympathise with you may God strengthen you our prayers to you
There's only one Richard Arlison
Come back stronger bro
