Meet Richarlison’s guardians at the Qatar Cup and in London, where the player lives

Good people, funny, humorous and, above all, good with the ball. Richarlison is a little king with a huge list of qualities and, to better understand where the well of charisma that is the number 9 of the Brazilian national team came from, why not meet the lovebirds that surround the star?

Following a slightly different line from players like Neymar, who has partners, affairs and family members in Qatar, Richarlison is accompanied by two people during the World Cup: his father, Antônio de Andrade, and his uncle, Elton Andrade.

Antônio is the one who actively participates in the ace’s career as a football player. Since Richarlison moved to England, his father, who lives in Brazil, often goes to London to visit the boy. In the last week, the center forward of the selection left aside the posts on the field to honor Antônio, who watched his son from the stands.

In love with football even before the player was born, Antônio is studying Physical Education and is president of Nova Venécia Futebol Clube.

Elton Andrade is the one who keeps the star’s father company in this type of mission. And it is not for nothing. Both he and his brother wanted to play football professionally and see in Richarlison the realization of a dream that was left behind. And what an achievement! The player does not hide his gratitude for his uncle’s encouragement, with whom he also posted photos on social networks during the World Cup.

Richarlison’s brother, Rian Andrade has more in common with the player than looks. Children of Vera and Antônio, they were raised together.

When they were little, Rian and Richarlison spent their days playing ball in the street. Therefore, the boy tries to follow in his brother’s footsteps in football. He plays for the Arab Al Nujoom, which gained access from the third division to the second in the United Arab Emirates.

A partner of the player since his performance at América Mineiro, in Belo Horizonte, we have Oswaldo Botrel, Richarlison’s advisor. Before working with the star, he already followed the football played by the boy from the base and, therefore, when he saw that Richarlison needed an advisor, he did not think twice and accepted the proposal. Even living in São Paulo, Oswaldo actively participates in the player’s life and travels to England whenever necessary.

Although his parents and most of his family still live in Brazil, Richarlison is not abandoned in England and has a strong base of friends there. Andreia Andrade, the star’s cousin, is an example of that.

She lives with the player in London, now that he also plays as a center forward at Tottenham, and is a kind of guardian angel for the boy. The proximity between the two is such that, despite being a cousin, the girl could easily be considered Richarlison’s sister.

Recently, Andreia even immortalized their relationship with a tattoo of her cousin’s goal in Brazil’s debut in the World Cup.

And speaking of tattoos… in addition to being responsible for the illustrations on Richarlison’s skin, tattoo artist Dom is also a close friend of the player. Always accompanied by Andreia, the tattoo artist has already become part of Pombo’s family and even watched some World Cup games at the house where Richarlison lives, while the player is in Qatar.

The intimacy between them is such that the tattoo artist has already let the star tattoo “R7”, as he is known at Tottenham, on Dom’s leg. Despite being precise with his feet, Richarlison didn’t seem to have the hang of it.

Part of the same group of friends as Dom and Andreia, Aline Gomes and Geovana Gonçalves are Richarlison’s “mothers” in England.

Living with Andreia and the player in London, Aline works as a coach and has more than 17,000 followers on Instagram. The girl shares her daily life, her work and motivational phrases. During the World Cup, she does not hide how proud she is of Richarlison and makes a point of sharing everything that involves the player on the social network.

Geovana is a fitness blogger and has 84,000 followers on Instagram. She is the ex-wife of the player’s manager and, therefore, they approached. Even after the end of the relationship, she and Pigeon did not grow apart. The star is even very active in raising Geovana’s daughter with the businessman and appears in records of the girl’s birthdays and in the child’s day-to-day games.
