Dida hails Tottenham striker Richarlison: His World Cup goal will remain in history

Former Brazil goalkeeper Nelson Dida has hailed Tottenham striker Richarlison.

Richarlison scored twice in Brazil's World Cup defeat of Serbia.

Dida said: “Beautiful, really. We are talking about a simple guy who is playing a great World Cup. His goal will remain in history.

"In Brazil there is poverty, it is difficult for a young boy to be interested in another sport.

“They play on pitches without goals, but everyone dreams of the Seleçao. And some succeed."
