Tottenham's Brazil striker Richarlison has revealed that everything "fell apart" for him after his nation was eliminated from the 2022 World Cup, as he battled with depression.
The 26-year-old announced in September that he would seek psychological help after he was photographed crying on the bench during Brazil's 5-1 win over Bolivia in a 2026 World Cup qualifier.
"I'd just played in a World Cup, at my peak," Richarlison told ESPN Brasil, discussing the need for people to seek help.
"I was reaching my limit. I was in a depression there and I wanted to give up - even me, who seemed to be mentally strong.
