Everton star Richarlison has given an exclusive interview to ESPN Brasil this week.

The 22-year-old has long proven that he’s a good person to have a funny chat with, and that’s probably why the stories with him normally avoid those boring comments about upcoming games.

ESPN’s talk with him had a few different topics, starting with FIFA 20. The player says he’s happy that the pigeon dance is now in the game, and also praised how really he looks in there.

“They got the pigeon dance. I liked it a lot. I think it’s a dream come true, as a child. Have your dance, you playing with your player in the video game. So that’s good. I’m teaching at home, nobody beats me. And it’s cool to have fun in everyday life“, Richarlison told ESPN Brasil.

“It got real. There are even pimples, even the mark here, that when I was younger I got a stone here, and it has a cut. They made the right cut on the head.”

A couple of months ago, Richarlison got involved in a controversy with Flamengo fans, just because he didn’t agree that the Rio De Janeiro side would fight for a high spot in the Premier League.

Now ESPN asked him if Flamengo could challenge Everton in a good match. He’s not only agreed to that, but also mentioned a transfer rumour which said the Toffees were working to sign Brazilian wonderkid Reinier.

“For sure. Flamengo are a great team. Just yesterday I was following them. I saw that even with some players missing, Flamengo’s team is very strong. There is the kid there Reinier, who if I’m not mistaken, Everton had a contact with him.”

“And I also talk a lot to some players there, to Gerson, who I played with at Fluminense. So I hope that Brazilian football continues in this evolution.”

Despite claims saying Everton had an agreement to sign Reinier for €40m, the player is now actually close on signing a new deal with Flamengo.
