Kylian Mbappe said that football in South America is not as advanced as in Europe. Richarlison, months after those comments, wanted to answer him before the World Cup. The Brazilian striker claims to be more prepared than anyone else because, with Brazil, he is going to Bolivia to play at high altitude.
Football is widespread all over the world, but it is in Europe that it is most developed. Mbappe said that football in South America was not so advanced. He received several criticisms because it was interpreted as a scorn of teams outside Europe.
Richarlison spoke with Isabela Pagliari in an interview and the Brazilian striker wanted to respond to Mbappe's comments: "South American football is tough. I'm going to play at high altitude in Bolivia. As you can see, it's difficult."
"I was part of the national team and we suffered a lot to adapt. Everyone can say what they want... Just as there are weak teams in South America according to Mbappe, I think there are weak teams in Europe. It doesn't matter, there's nothing to talk about," he continued.
Abreu and Fabinho have already responded to the PSG striker. They encouraged him to look at Wikpedia and Richarlison encouraged Mbappe to try to play in Bolivia.
