So glad Richy seeked help and is now stronger than ever. Big ups.🙌
As an Arsenal fan, I can’t like him, but I can respect him. Glad to see him thriving again, just wish it wasn’t at Spurs 😂😂😂.
😂

Stronger than ever.. crying wearing dangly earrings. Cute.
@@MrLetExploreOMG EARRINGS?!? NOOO 😭😭😭
Great transparency about the importance of mental health supporters in the sport from Richy. Even those at the top need to be checked on and supported at times. No one is impervious to struggle and it’s great to see him give support for others who might also be struggling.
Especially the ones at the top because they see themselves confronted with the criticism and hate of millions of anonymous people.
330 Likes and no comment LET ME FIX THAT!
I think I would really like to study sports psychology
Specially those at the top* I'd say
Man. Stand up! You are one of the best football player ever played this game.
So much sadness in his eyes. Life can be so dark, even for those who seem to have everything. Glad he's getting the help he so desperately needs, breaking the stigma and encouraging others to do the same, absolute hero 👏
As someone with anxiety. It doesn’t matter if you are rich, the brain doesn’t care about that anyone can suffer from mental health.
That’s true, I’m sometimes sorry for people who are very famous and can’t do normal things like having a coffee in public without harassment
This explains his demeanor on the field. Never smiles, always looking so serious, even after a teammate scores or he scores.
Highest respect for him!
As a therapist and an Everton fan, I’m so happy Richy got help. I also thank him for sharing his story and being so vulnerable.
We love you Richy💙
Amen 🙏
I'm rooting for Richarlison after this..
Me too.
Me 3
Me 4
Me 5
Me 6
This just makes you realize that these people are human too
What ive noticed is Brazilians are emotional and beautiful people who are not afraid to express what they really feel
Pray for this young man and for everyone going through depression
lol
Massive respect to Richy for doing this. Hopefully it will help others who are struggling to realise that there is nothing shameful or weak about reaching out for help when you need it - in fact, it takes a great deal of strength to do so. Good luck to him 💙💙💙💙 /Pablo
You are not weak for going to a therapist or a counselor (there is a difference); you are strong. It takes a lot to acknowledge that you are human and need help. In the African American community, we have the same stigma around mental health that he described. I am glad he got the help he needed. Rooting for him.
he scored so many beautiful goals
I felt it before in lockdown. it's weird. You forget things and your mood is down and you think negatively
Those are the signs of abuse ... when you forget it's how your mind deals with that abuse. That was abuse from a totalitarian government on the masses, abuse on a global scale and people are still not able to process things ...
I left the country because I didn't want to be stuck in the uk during lockdown but man when I came back some of my pals were in horrible mental health and only getting back to their normal self now
Richarlison is a great player, to be a football player is 90% mental and 10% talent. It's hard to wake up every day and stay motivated. Respect for Richarlison.
Me personally, when I wake up, I would say:
"Well, now it's another day to earn the big bucks"
Money will keep me ultra motivated
@@ZeoXEditz7 to be a football player you need to fight for your money. Waking up every morning is hard.
@@turkishmusashi7425 That is what I mean
Every training I'll say, "if I don't perform well, I ain't earning money, I have no choice"
@@ZeoXEditz7 i agreed with you brother
Richy is awesome. Im glad he found some healing. Love him to bits.
He deserves only the best
Massive respect to him for speaking about this and to also say that going to a psychologist is no big deal and it's a healthy thing to do. It's just a professional person that helps you deal with your personal problems and guides you on your way. They don't magically fix your problems but they support your mental healing.
brilliant being able to say this publicly, richy. you came back stronger and you’re banging in those goals ❤❤
Big up yourself Richy we are with you 👊🏾
Dont give up Richarlison... we love you!!!
We need more of this , Men face mental health issues alone or heavily stigmatized we have to check on our brothers see if they’re ok
So true, people forget that these footballers are also human. If we get upset over 1 thing our friends tells us, imagine the millions these footballers have to face
Nothing but my upmost respect for this man, if you don't experience these attacks it's so hard to understand, my whole life I felt isolated and felt weak, but seeing this gives me the strength to feel normal amongst my inadequacies, keep going brother!
Thank you for sharing. Your a great plyr and glad you did not quit as you are having a great season. Go Spurs 💯
Wow Richy! Such emotion from him but absolutely brilliant work in his openness in talking about the pressure he was feeling. Very very proud of him in seeking help.
Good for him! You already see the difference in his output on the pitch. Complete night and day. No one should ever be afraid of seeking help no matter how strong they think they are or what others might think. You have to walk your own path.
Richarlison é um exemplo dentro e fora de campo. Dias maus, todos teremos. Quisera ele compreender que nem tudo que ele lia na Internet era o que realmente pensavem dele. Eu, como brasileiro, só tenho orgulho. Foi a grande alegria da nossa seleção brasileira na Copa de 2022 e espero que fique bem para proporcionar ainda mais alegrias.
Ainda há quem escreva em bom português. 👏👏👏
you need real cojones to see a psychologist. to do what needs to be done like that is being a real man
Sucesso muleke saiba sempre que vc traz muita alegria pra nós Brasileiros 🎉
All love, Richy ♥
u could see the tears disappear when he mentioned the help he got, fair play to him for this
Great Player, greater human, wish all the best
You can see the love for his country. Well done
Honest truth iv been a Richarlison fan since day one. Kid has talent passion and bravery. And he scored the best goal in World Cup. Stay strong 💪🏻 prayers and best wishes bro 🫶🙏🇺🇸
Stay strong, think of the positives, and why you wanted to be a footballer and play for your country. So many wanted the chance, and you did it in Qatar. All the support from your neighbours in Argentina ❤🙏
Even though i suppirt liverpool me and everyone else needs to show respect to him he did so much for tottenham and for brazil im happy he seeked for help and i hope he doesnt stop getting better at this beautiful game
Don’t joke with depression. It’s really bad illness.
Strong mate for getting help COYB. After lockdown it hit me after sadness in our family and best thing I did was speak someone.
Currently going through it and seeking help. This type of spotlight is very important and gives people courage to seek out help as well. I’ve never seen Richarlison play but I’m for sure proud of this man. This wasn’t easy at all for him I’m sure
Gran humano de hablar asi y mostrar emociones! Fuerza mano
Love him ❤ I'm so glad he's overcome this. Blessings to him 🙏
Richy you are the man. This is what the real life is. Being broken, vulnerable , getting better… it makes us stronger and more experienced.
We love you richy lad, love from Everton fan💙 you will always be welcome back
You are a brave man to open up on your real struggles and asking others to seek help. I know you wont see this but i hope you will do well in the future.
Go Richy ❤you are a great human being with a mega talent. Sending you my respect 😊from Germany.🇩🇪
Muito respeito para esse cara. Keep on going brother.
Caraca, da pra ver que é muito sincera a fala dele. Muita coragem ele se abrir assim.
Grande homem de falar disso. Parabéns, Rich!
Brilliant message. Good for him
To make it to fifa is more than enough …it’s a blessing .. these players are put under so much pressure
I didn’t know much about Richarlison, but this interview made me root for him.. great player … a seemingly great person as well. It takes courage to open up that way… Go Richarlison… we love you man ❤
We are with you Rich we all love you
You could really see the heartbreak and betrayal he went through after the WC. I’m glad he sought help, and telling the world about it helps others. We are only human and going through something dark takes a lot to get through, and talking to someone is just part of the journey to heal.
Big respect to speak out about your struggle and feelings! We should speak and care more in such things like that..
This is what actual bravery and personal development looks like. It will never be not important to talk about this.
Be strong lad fight it you are a fighter what you do never give up from a liverpool fan I respect you lad
Genuinely, much love and respect to Richarlison, as a fellow human making our way through this life. If it makes any difference, we often feel this struggle on this unpredictable journey. Thank you for speaking on the topic, as it is very helpful
Kudos to Richy for seeking help. More men need to do this, it's shows strength to me. Go Richy. Enjoy life. Wished you were still at the Blues. Love you man. Thank you for what you did for us. Always respect.
Brazilians love soccer a lot of people don’t realize how much
Almost cried watching this.
I’m here for you richy ❤😢
Massive respect
I know how you feel my friend i suffer from depression too its not easy so glad your getting the help you need ❤
I love this I cried
So brave to share this.
We love you Richie!
Respect to you Richarlison.
This interview will help a lot of people in some way. ❤
Your doing great, Richy. Dont you ever give up. You inspire a lot of people. Stay strong.
People can be mean, especially on social media. At the end of the day it is just a sport or game and these are human beings just like the rest of us.
Be strong Big Man there is so many players so much pressure to many games training from Poland ❤
Dont give up my bro. You got this, be strong. There is a reason why you are a pro. Vammmooos. You are a good guy. Keep going, hope you see this message ❤❤❤❤🎉
So brave to tell his story.
A lesson for all.
ive always loved richy
Very good human being. I’m happy he is doing better now. It’s hard for us to understand how stressful the World Cup is. It’s like normal job but 100 times more stressful because he has whole nation of Brazil watching him
I can feel him😢😢
I hope you get better your mental health comes first. You have accomplished a lot. STAY STONG WE LOVE YOU
Estamos contigo Richy! We with you
Much respect Richarlison! Humanity is with you brother, stay strong, we are all one big family living on mother Earth!
Wishing you well richy
We love you bruh ❤
So sorry to realise this. The mind is a horrible place to be as a man, the pressure to be always strong is intense. Even when people ask you to open up you are expected to ‘be stronger’. As a man I can tell you to open up is often the last resort before doing something we may or may not regret. Listen no matter how minor it seems.
I’m an Arsenal fan and I wish Richarlson all the best.
WE LOVE YOU RICHY!!!!
Respect! Love yourself with your whole heart. FootballI, it’s your gift from the maker enjoy it and never feel shame. Peace!
It’s not easy richarlison keep it pushing
Bro went through some dark stuff. Dont care about him as a footballer but uts good to see a brother do the right thing. Wish him all the best
Respect Big Man
Hope he works things out - he’s shown good character at Tottenham so far - all the best fella 👍
Respects to Richarlison...such an inspiration
No-one is weak for asking for help we all humans
We love you Richarlison
This man has millions and has the world, and he’s depressed. There’s people that struggle everyday with a significantly lower quality of life that aren’t depressed.
So what’syou point
@@DrakeDHDerr my point is exactly that
@@1792dt cry about it, nga
@@DrakeDHDerr im not the one crying your boy on the screen is the one actually crying
You realize depression can strike anybody? That it's a CHEMICAL imbalance of the brain?
Good luck brother ❤
We live in a world with strong prejudices. Its good that people like Richarlison opens up like this. Ive been in a worse position Im still dealing with depression. Hopefully we all come out this disgusting disease.
lovee youu brooo , god blesss you
Stay strong Richy 🤍
Even as a Liverpool supported this broke my heart 💔
Boooa guerreiro ! Vc é foda ! O Brasil te ama
You're a warrior❤
It's not really easy. This guys are human
Thanks Richarlson for sharing your view about mental health, depression and therapy in such light ..... Wishing you the best 💝
I work with people that struggle mentally on a daily basis. This is a very strong message because it´s often a misunderstanding that money fixes many problems. Richarlison being this brave to open up shows that money don´t stop these issues.
Mental health is just as important as physical health!! I’m glad he can now promote mental health awareness.
He did the right thing. He went and got help. So many people are afraid of getting help.
Stay strong Richy
Big respect, very manly and very brave to be this open and honest, just hope more athletes could be less scared of not being perfect/stoic. My vote is for Ricky ❤
