Brazil coach Tite: Richarlison is fantastic

Brazil coach Tite was delighted with Tottenham striker Richarlison after their 2-0 World Cup win against Serbia.

Richarlison scored both goals on the day.

Tite later said: "Richarlison is fantastic.

"You can see how he controls the ball. In the second half he created a lot of space.

"He calmed down a bit, and then he was more accurate in his deliveries."

Tite added: "Serbia was very, very good. They were very fast in the first half.

"They are a team that beat Portugal in the qualification and who played continuously well in the qualification.

"They are a good team, and we managed to control them in both halves."
