Kevin Campbell thrilled by Richarlison for Everton v Southampton
We’re delighted to welcome former Everton striker Kevin Campbell as our exclusive columnist. Each week the former Toffees captain will be giving his views on the biggest talking points at Goodison Park…
Kevin Campbell was left blown away by the performance of Richarlison for Everton in their 3-1 win over Southampton on Saturday.
The Brazilian only returned to training on Friday, but still managed to score and assist the third goal at Goodison Park.
Campbell was impressed with his fitness levels and determination to feature after playing all summer and having no break.
Speaking exclusively to Goodison News, Campbell said, “He’s brilliant, moody at times.
“He’s gifted with huge talent and fair play to him for coming straight back from the Olympics with no break and being involved.
“I expect Richarlison to really hit the ground running. I really expect him to have a good season and he made the difference, he set up Calvert-Lewin with a wicked cross and scored a great goal himself.”
Star.
Rafa Benitez looks to have gotten the best out of his attackers.
The Spaniard plays a standard 4-4-2, and Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin playing centrally together help them immensely.
Other players are tasked with creating chances more, leaving our central two to stay in the box and fire in the goals.
WIth Leeds next, Richarlison has a great opportunity to continue his scoring streak at the start of the season.
