The great goal scored by Richarlison will undoubtedly be one of the most remembered of this World Cup, but it was not enough for Antonio Cassano to change his idea about the Brazilian. Right after the double against Serbia, an old video of the ex-madridista who criticized Tite’s list for Qatar went viral: “You can’t summon Richarlison, who is terrible, and leave Firmino out, who is a phenomenon. Richarlison is very bad, they have paid him 75 million and he does not know how to control the ball. Liverpool’s is much better”.

Cassano expressed the same opinion again after having attended Richarlison’s exhibition at his World Cup premiere, taking credit for the scissors that went around the world: “I am a person who never denies what he says, and after what I have seen I confirm that Richarlison is very bad. The second goal? The reality is that he controlled the ball poorly and he got that kick, while the other goal went to an empty goal. It has nothing to do with the other forwards in Brazil.”.
Cassano is one of the stars of ‘Bobo TV’, the channel where he comments on sports news along with Bobo Vieri, Lele Adani and Nicola Ventola. After the success on Twitch, Rai, Italian state television, decided to sign them up to talk about the World Cup every night. A decision that also caused controversy.
