Style of play
Richarlison is primarily deployed as a centre-forward, though he is also capable of playing as a left winger or second striker. He is noted for his strength, aerial ability, and off-the-ball movement, frequently attacking crosses and operating inside the penalty area. Richarlison is also recognised for his defensive contribution, regularly pressing opposition defenders and tracking back when required. Previous managers such as Carlo Ancelotti and Ange Postecoglou have utilised Richarlison as a chaos agent to effectively disrupt backlines. His effectiveness is largely derived from positioning, anticipation, and intensity rather than creative playmaking; despite flaws to his game, his work rate has never been questioned. Following his heroics at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, including winning the Goal of the Tournament, Richarlison has earnt positive comparisons to Ronaldo Nazário. Richarlison has gained a polarising reputation for his personality on and off the field. His on field antics include drawing fouls, getting involved in scuffles and provocative celebrations while off the pitch, he has a strong presence on social media, often involving himself in meme culture and even controversies. He is also known for his distinctive "pigeon" goal celebration which has been featured in the FIFA series of video games.
