Didi Hamann was not in the slightest bit impressed by Richarlison’s showboating during Tottenham’s 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
The Brazilian international didn’t take the criticism well online, however, responding with ‘cry more’ on Twitter.
Cry more 😢

The former Everton man had been caught juggling the ball during the encounter with Steve Cooper’s promoted outfit – an action the ex-Red suggested should have earnt the attacker a booking.

To be completely fair, it’s the kind of showboating that would probably go down quite well at Anfield if a Liverpool player had attempted to waste time to ensure a win, though we can certainly understand the frustration around it from an opposition perspective.
Even though Richarlison is far from being a popular figure on the red half of Merseyside, the idea that players should be booked for showboating is perhaps going a step too far.
It’s a suggestion we can’t see the FA being keen to implement any time soon – let’s put it that way!
I suppose what Johnson did to Richarlison was sporting? Kraut Kunt.
