Richarlison's outburst about mental health received praise during coach Ange Postecoglou's interview with ESPN. The Brazilian commented on the state of depression he experienced after leaving the World Cup finals in Qatar, when Brazil lost on penalties to Croatia, and the coach ended up praising him.
“He could have done it privately, but I think doing it publicly was brave. I hope this helps others seek help if they need it. But it's good that Richie asked for help.” “I've got it, and now I want others to be able to do it too,” the Spurs boss said.
“Above all, players are human beings. The impact is greater when someone is important, or in a position where they are assumed to have no problems, or it may be seen as a sign of weakness if they ask for help or support,” added Ange Postecoglou. This gives more merit.”
Furthermore, Richarlison also praised the arrival of psychologist Marissa Santiago to the Brazilian national team's coaching staff. The striker confirmed that the treatment “saved his life” after the crisis he suffered due to poor performance in some matches.
Everton are also showing their solidarity with Richarlison
Who also took a stand against Richarlison's anger was Everton, the Brazilian's former club in the English Premier League. The Toffees used the club's official account on the social network “X” to express their solidarity with the Brazilian.
“Following his incredibly moving interview, we express our strong support for our former striker and reinforce his important message about the need to look after your mental health and seek help. All the Evertonians are with you, Richie,” the post reads.
