Watford attacker Richarlison accepts he must do better to break back into Brazil's squad.

A dip in form has ensured Brazil boss Tite overlooked the Hornets' number 11 for his contingent heading to Russia.

Richarlison understands that decision and believes time is on his side to make an impression for perhaps the most recognisable footballing country in the world.

“When I got in the Premier League, I was expecting to be called by Tite, but he knows what he is doing," Richarlison told the Watford Observer.

“He said he was watching me, watching Malcom and watching [David] Neres. That made me very happy.

“I am only 21, so I have to dream high. I think yes to compete in the World Cup. I have to stay focused because that is what Tite says, they are always watching us."
