Richarlison says 'cry more' to Didi Hamann after showboating controversy and continues trolling of L
Tottenham’s Richarlison has told Didi Hamann to ‘cry more’ after criticism for his ‘showboating’ against Nottingham Forest.
The Brazilian forward is often vocal on Twitter, and used the platform to mock Hamann and fellow Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher.
Richarlison hit the headlines during Spurs’ 2-0 Premier League win over Forest when he started doing ‘keepie-uppies’ on the touchline with the game coming to an end.
The 25-year-old clearly riled up his opponents, with Brennan Johnson coming flying in to wipe him out, and Neco Williams ensuring a rough landing on the turf.
The £60m summer signing from Everton had just come on as a substitute in the 74th minute and soon after brilliantly assisted a Harry Kane goal to effectively end the competition.
But his antics moments later split opinion, with Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher saying ‘he winds me up’ and later adding ‘it was taking the p***’.
The duo have had a long running feud on Twitter after Carragher told Richarlison to ‘get up!’ during a Merseyside derby earlier in the year, and Richarlison tagged the pundit in a video of the incident.
The clip with a music bed of a man laughing in Portuguese and calling the move ‘sweet’ was sent to the former defender, who replied: “This is the type of s***housery I can get fully behind!”

The banter clearly wasn’t as strong between Richarlison and another former star though, with Hamann giving his views on the incident.
“Nothing to do with showboating,” the German tweeted. “Should have been booked for unsportsmanlike conduct and restarted with a free kick to Forest.”
Richarlison went for a simple reply though, saying: “Cry more.”
The Selecao striker, who has over 750,000 followers on Twitter, also reposted a message saying ‘Brazilians just do football differently’ and a hilarious clip of someone dropping a can in a supermarket and managing to juggling it with his feet back into his hands.
Carragher and Richarlison had already shown there weren’t really any hard feelings after the Forest game, with the two hugging post-match at pitch side.
The Sky Sports pundit seemed to be trying to get an interview with the rest of the team, but after Richarlison said his hellos and turned down the chance, Carragher said: “To be fair I’m just glad he never blanked me!” in reference to Cristiano Ronaldo ignoring him the previous week.
