Postecoglou praises Richarlison for opening up on his mental health struggles

Ange Postecoglou has lumped praise on Richarlison after the Tottenham forward bravely opened up about his mental health struggles he suffered after the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

The Brazilian, who joined Spurs from Everton in 2022 for £60million, revealed in a tearful interview earlier this week that he had suffered from depression following the tournament and had told his dad that he had wanted to 'give up'.

In September, Richarlison had said that he would seek 'psychological help' after he was seen crying on the side of the pitch while playing for Brazil.

'We're all just human beings, I haven't spoken to Richy [Richarlison],' Postecoglou said in a press conference ahead of Tottenham's game against Luton this weekend.

'But Richy has really benefitted from the support that does exist, not just for him but for others in the community. Because he has benefitted so directly I think he has taken on the responsibility of trying to share that around now.

'It always makes more of an impact when it is somebody who is higher profile or is in a position where we think they shouldn't really have any problems. Or we see it as a sign of weakness when they're looking for help and support.

'It's a credit to him. He could have dealt with this privately obviously, but I think the public aspect of it is a brave decision for him but more importantly, hopefully a conduit for others to reach out for help when it's required.

'As I said it's always a balance to these things, you know where that's Richy or anyone else, for all of us we have challenges in our lives and there's help you can get out there. It shouldn't hopefully get to the point where it is so overwhelming that it takes over every thing you.
