A reputable football journalist cannot believe that one Tottenham star is being called up to his national side ahead of a Real Madrid youngster.18 senior Tottenham players have been involved in international fixtures across the globe over the international break, with many of them featuring twice for their countries.One man, who has made 11 appearances for Thomas Frank’s side this season, made two substitute appearances for his country, getting just 26 minutes of action in total.The player in question is Richarlison, who got 15 minutes in Brazil’s loss against Japan on Tuesday on the back of playing 11 minutes in their thumping win over South Korea.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramCarlo Ancelotti criticised for selecting Tottenham star RicharlisonThe 28-year-old fluffed his lines when presented with a late chance in Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo as Japan emerged 3-2 winners over the Selecao.Brazilian football commentator Mauro Cezar Pereira has questioned why manager Carlo Ancelotti keeps picking Richarlison over Endrick, suggesting that the Real Madrid man deserves opportunities despite his lack of game time at the Spanish capital.He told UOL News Esporte about the Brazil boss: “I can’t understand why he doesn’t call up Endrick, even if he’s not playing for Real Madrid. That’s Xabi Alonso’s problem. Endrick must be called up.“And Richarlison, what’s he doing in the national team? With all due respect, he’s a great guy with a nice story. But that miss from Estevão’s assist showed poor positioning. The ball was perfect.”Is Richarlison’s time at Spurs running out?The former Everton man’s form has dropped off after a fine start to the season, and if not for the injuries to Randal Kolo Muani and Dominic Solanke, he may not have played as much as he has for Spurs over recent weeks.Kolo Muani is now back fit for Tottenham, thus putting pressure on the Brazilian, who may soon find himself warming the bench for Thomas Frank’s men.There have even been suggestions Spurs would be ready to listen to offers for Richarlison in January.Some outlets have asserted that an offer of £17m will be enough to price Richarlison away from Tottenham during the upcoming transfer window.READ MORE: Tottenham jump at chance to sign highly-rated twins who just left English clubThe post Journalist calls for Tottenham star to be dropped, ‘What’s he doing in the national team?’ appeared first on Spurs Web.
