Vidal slams Everton striker Richarlison: This clown!

Inter Milan midfielder Arturo Vidal has branded Everton striker Richarlison a "clown".

Vidal shared an edited picture of Richarlison which showed him with a clown's face in response to comments the forward had made in the wake of Brazil's victory over Chile in their World Cup qualifier.

The feud between the pair goes back to when Brazil knocked Chile out of the Copa America in the summer. Brazil went on to lose the final against Argentina.

His full post read: "It hurts me so much to lose and know that we can't fight the titles we all want.

"But I'm going to calm down now because we left life on the court and we got Brazil on our knees again and the best of this is that we will see Brazil again in September and there will be better prepared and we will see who wins!!! Chile I love you and I die for my flag."

After victory on Friday, Vidal's previous comments resurfaced, with TNT Sports sharing them on Instagram.

Richarlison commented "Se busca" on the post, which roughly translates to "wanted". The forward then shared the post on his story.

Vidal was quick to respond, sharing an edited picture of Richarlison playing for Brazil with a clown emoji over his face, with the caption "And this clown who knows him".
