Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale never thought something like this could happen to him. Just celebrated his side's 2-0 win over Tottenham yesterday. Then he had to be kicked by a Tottenham supporter!
The matter is reprehensible, the statement of the Tottenham authority has informed. Harassment by an opposing player on their field is unacceptable to the club authorities. Tottenham have promised that the supporter will be quickly found and brought to justice. The English Football Association (FA) also expressed concern over Ramsdale's kicking incident. But Tottenham's Brazilian star Richarlison can't support Ramsdale's 'actions' at all despite accepting everything.
Richarlison scored a great bicycle kick against Serbia in the World Cup. Which was voted the best goal of the World Cup in Qatar. However, playing in Tottenham's jersey, Richarlison was ineffective against Arsenal yesterday. Coach Antonio Conte dropped Richarlison in the 71st minute of the match but spent the rest of the time running around the field.
At the end of the match, Richarlison could not contain himself as he saw Ramsdale 'celebrating' in front of the Tottenham crowd. He tries to push the Arsenal goalkeeper away. Both of them have some arguments. After leaving the field, Ramsdale was kicked by that fervent fan of Tottenham.
Richarlison told ESPN why Ramsdale went to celebrate in front of the Tottenham crowd. The way the Arsenal goalkeeper gestured in front of the Tottenham crowd was insulting, Richarlison said, 'I didn't like it at all. The way the Arsenal goalkeeper was celebrating was disgraceful. Our fans didn't like it. Why would he come here and celebrate? There were Arsenal fans, they would have gone to celebrate the victory.'
Brazilian star may be punished for pushing with model. But don't fear punishment, says Richarlison, 'punishment will come. i am not afraid The rule in the game is to respect the opponent. But Ramsdell didn't. He insulted us. He lacks respect for others. I went to him to tell him this very thing.'
Richarlison, however, was not the only one with Ramsdell. He was joined by Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Magalhaser. Martinelli was about to take a corner when Richarlison, who was warming up on the sideline, stopped him with his hand. Richarlison explained, 'I can apologize to him, I have no problem. But it was not I who raised the hand. We are teammates in the Brazil team. I came here to play a derby match for two teams. These things happen in such fights. There is no problem between us.' His problem with Gabriel was for holding up the game, 'Gabriel was holding up the game. I said, start playing. He wasn't listening. For this, of course, he saw the card.'
