Richarlison plans to seek ‘psychological help’ after ‘turbulent time’ off the pitch

Tottenham forward Richarlison says he will "seek psychological help" after being seen in tears following his substitution during Brazil's 5-1 win over Bolivia last Saturday.

The 26-year-old says he his emotional reaction in the match was a release to help 'get things happening off the pitch out of his system'.

"I went through a turbulent time off the pitch during these past five months," he told Brazilian newspaper O Globo who reported that Richarlison has split with long-term agent Renato Velasco.

"Now things are a bit more stable at home. People who only had their eye on my money are no longer close to me."
