Richarlison: Marco Silva is 'going to be one of the world's top managers'

Richarlison has put his excellent early-season form down to the management of Marco Silva and backed his new manager to become one of the best in the world in years to come.

The 20-year-old has played a key role in Watford's surprise start to the Premier League since joining from Fluminese on a five-year deal.

He has scored three goals and set up another in his first eight Premier League appearances, and he hopes that form can go on to see him called up by Brazil and write history with Watford.

"Playing in the Premier League was my childhood dream, because it's the most watched football league in the world, and also the hardest," Richarlison told ESPN Brasil.
