Richarlison Wants To Follow Ronaldinho's Traces: When Retired Arriving, Buy An Island With Many Women

JAKARTA - Tottenham Hotspur striker and Brazil's national team Richarlison spoke very honestly about what he wanted to do when he retired from football.

Just like his famous compatriot Ronaldinho, Richarlison has a desire to go about his time after his career ended.

"I'm going to buy an island and live there with lots of women, like that Ronaldinho photo", Richarlison said with a laugh in an interview quoted by Marca on Tuesday.

No doubt, his expression caused a lot of controversy in his country.

The striker referred to the famous photo Ronaldinho in the pool where he appeared with five women posing on his back lying face down at the player's feet.

The former Barcelona star and AC Milan assured that it was a joke with a friend.

"It was all a joke in responding to a friend," Ronaldinho said. "He sent me a photo showing how happy he was in Rio de Janeiro and I answered with the photo. Unfortunately it ended up on social media and because I was a public person, it caused a lot of controversy".

Richarlison himself was one of many strikers chosen by Tite to be part of Brazil's squad for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

It is not yet clear whether he will start or not in the first match of Team Samba against Serbia on Thursday morning.
