Brazilian striker Richarlison remains optimistic about Tottenham Hotspur’s future competitiveness despite acknowledging the slim chances of qualifying for the Champions League this season.

Tottenham’s recent 4-2 defeat against Liverpool marked their fourth consecutive Premier League loss, leaving them in fifth place, seven points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa in the race for Champions League qualification.

Richarlison recognizes the challenges but believes there has been notable improvement in Tottenham’s style of play this season. He expressed confidence in the team’s evolution and expects further progress under a new coach next season.

According to Richarlison, the team has showcased a more dynamic and attractive brand of football compared to the previous season. He anticipates significant changes ahead and foresees the emergence of a more competitive squad.

While acknowledging the unlikelihood of Champions League qualification this season, Richarlison emphasized the team’s resilience amid their recent struggles. Despite the disappointment of four consecutive defeats, he remains focused on the remaining fixtures and the possibility of a late surge in the standings.

Tottenham’s current losing streak, their longest since November 2004, has added to the challenge of securing a top-four finish. With only three matches remaining, including an upcoming fixture against Burnley, the team faces an uphill battle to salvage their Champions League aspirations.

Richarlison emphasized the importance of staying focused and continuing to work hard, highlighting the need to approach each game with determination and optimism. While the road to Champions League qualification appears difficult, he remains committed to giving his best until the end of the season.

As Tottenham prepares to host Burnley in their next match, Richarlison’s positivity reflects the team’s determination to finish the season on a high note, regardless of the outcome in the race for European qualification.
