Tottenham fans rally around Richarlison after 'proper wind-up' reply to Didi Hamann over 'unsportsmanlike' showboating | The Sun

TOTTENHAM fans have rallied round Richarlison after he delivered a cheeky response to Didi Hamann's claims that he should've been booked for showboating against Nottingham Forest.

Richarlison treated Tottenham's 2-0 win over Forest like a training session when he decided to do kick-ups as the match drew to a close.


The Brazilian came on in the 74th minute and provided a superb cross to Harry Kane who scored and doubled his tally.

Then with five minutes to go, Richarlison decided to break into an impromptu spell of keepy-uppy to the delight of Spurs fans.

But not everyone was impressed with Richarlison's display including Forest star Brennan Johnson who swiftly clattered into the striker, receiving a yellow card in the process.

Johnson's fury was shared by Liverpool legend Hamann who condemned Richarlison for being "unsportsmanlike."

He fumed: "Nothing to do with showboating. Should have been booked for unsportsmanlike conduct and restarted with free kick to Forest."

But Richarlison was nonplussed by Hamann's criticism and nonchalantly responded: "Cry more," along with a crying face emoji under the German legend's post.

His blase reply was warmly received by Spurs fans who chimed in on the post.

One fan mused: "We’ve got ourselves a proper wind up and I’m all for it," accompanied by a crying face and hand clap emoji.

This sentiment was echoed by another user who said: "We’ve finally got a proper windup on and off the pitch in the team."

And a third supporter added: "I love how cocky he is it’s ace," with a few crying emojis.

Their enthusiasm was shared by Hamann's former Liverpool team-mate Jamie Carragher who joked: "This is the type of sxxthousery I can get fully behind!", with two crying face emojis.

Carragher's praise for Richarlison came after they squashed their Twitter beef when the Spurs and Forest match concluded.

Despite the footy pundit initially slamming Richarlison for his showboating, the pair shared a warm embrace once the game was over.

Carragher felt Richarlison's wrath when he criticised the Brazilian's performances for Everton last season – leading to the forward calling out the ex-Liverpool defender on Twitter.
