Neymar sees the funny side to Tottenham star’s antics on Twitter this week
Brazilian superstar Neymar has now reacted to Richarlison’s tweet regarding his showboating against Nottingham Forest.
Richarlison replaced Son Heun-min in the 74th minute of the game and the Brazilian set up Harry Kane and Tottenham’s second goal with a sumptuous cross with the outside of his right foot.
However, it was what the forward did a few minutes later that grabbed the headlines, with the 25-year-old taunting the opposition by doing a couple of keepy-uppies before being clattered by a Forest player.
Steve Copper said after the game that Richarlison’s actions were disrespectful and that he would not accept it if a Forest player did the same (Guardian).
The Tottenham man has been widely criticised by pundits and experts for his antics (talkSPORT) but former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann went a step further and suggested that the forward should be booked for what he did.
Richarlison responded to the German’s tweet by writing: “Cry More”.
His Brazilian teammate Neymar, who himself is no stranger to showboating on the field, saw the funny side of the Spurs star’s response.

I am personally not a fan of showboating but to suggest that Richarlison should be booked is ridiculous. Where would you even draw a line between showboating and just embarrassing your opponent with a piece of skill? I am surprised by the amount of reaction and column inches that this incident has received.
