Richarlison celebrates 50th cap for Brazil: "Honour that fills my heart" | OneFootball

Striker Richarlison has reached the milestone of 50 games with the Brazilian National Team's jersey and received a tribute from the CBF at last Tuesday's training session, at Granja Comary. The Tottenham player celebrated the achievement on social media.

"50 games with her! Who would have thought that the kid from Nova Venécia would wear this shirt and reach this mark? 50 games, 20 goals and still a lot of history to be made. The one I will be most proud to tell my son. It's an honor and a love that doesn't fit in the chest," wrote the athlete, in a post on Instagram.

Richarlison completed 50 appearances for Brazil in the triumph over Paraguay, on June 10, at the Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo. The striker, known as Pombo, debuted on September 7, 2018, in the 2-0 victory over the United States, at MetLife Stadium, in New Jersey.

With the Yellow Jersey, Richarlison has scored 20 goals, three of them in the 2022 World Cup, where he started in four of the five games for the team. The striker was responsible for Brazil's first two goals in this World Cup. In the victory over Serbia, by 2-0, he gave the team the win with a stunning volley goal.

At this moment, Richarlison is preparing for the last commitments of the team in the South American Qualifiers. The team concludes the activities for the match against Chile this Wednesday.

The clash with the Chileans is scheduled for this Thursday, at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time). Next, Carlo Ancelotti's commands visit Bolivia, on Tuesday, at 8:30 pm, in El Alto.
