Everton’s Richarlison reveals reason behind upturn in form

Everton forward Richarlison has revealed the reason behind his upturn in form, citing a chat with Carlo Ancelotti as the defining factor.

The Brazilian scored 13 goals in the Premier League last season but struggled to find any form during the first half of the current campaign.

Richarlison only netted twice before the turn of the year but has now scored four goals in his last six games.

The 23-year-old has now revealed that his upturn in form is largely down to Ancelotti.

“I had some difficulties at the start of the season, so I went to speak to the boss and said I was doing a lot of marking, defending a lot – I was back there with Yerry Mina,” Richarlison explained to Everton’s official website.
