Richarlison insults Infantino.
Richarlison won the soccer gold with Brazil. Now a video from Tokyo is going viral that captures the Everton star at an unfortunate moment.
The newly crowned Olympic champion Richarlison had a cheeky saying in the direction of Fifa President Gianni Infantino at the gold medal handover after Brazil's 2-1 victory in the final against Spain.
“It's Qatar next year, huh, bald man?” Said the Everton professional. With the sentence, the 24-year-old alluded on the one hand to the bald head of the Fifa boss and on the other hand to the World Cup finals in Qatar in 2022. Too bad: the statement of the attacking star could be heard on TV. The video of his insult to Infantino subsequently went viral on social media.
The scene provides amusement. Fans celebrate Richarlison on Twitter as a “man of honor”. The world football association does not enjoy the best reputation after numerous corruption scandals and dubious awarding of major events such as the Qatar World Cup.
The Everton professional is also making headlines around the world.
The video has now been clicked almost 1.5 million times on Twitter. Neither Richarlison nor Infantino have commented on this action so far.
