Son: Tottenham are behind gamechanger RicharlisonSpurs’ new captain also praised the atmosphere in the dressing room under Ange Postecoglou after four consecutive Premier League victoriesHeung-min Son says everyone at Tottenham is “supporting” Richarlison after the Brazilian ended a difficult week with a match-winning cameo against Sheffield United on Saturday.Richarlison came off the bench to equalize before setting up Dejan Kulusevski’s 100th-minute winner as Spurs came from behind to beat the Blades 2-1 in the latest comeback in Premier League history.Richarlison’s first home goal for the club came after he revealed in midweek that he would seek “psychological help” after a turbulent five months away from the pitch.“Not just me, everyone in the team and the club was very happy for him,” Son said. “It was tough for him and we all hoped this match would boost his confidence. He changed the whole game. We were waiting for this.”Richy, [like] probably everyone, isn’t happy when he’s not in the starting XI, but we know how important it is to come in and change the game like he does. ‘Ivan [Perisic], Brennan [Johnson], Emerson [Royal], Pierre [Hojbjerg] did. Everyone did a really good job.“It’s important to keep an eye on it. Everyone is very happy for him.In scenes of wild celebration after the final whistle, Son Richarlison rushed to the South Stand at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to record the applause.Soaking up the praise: Heung-min Son wanted Richarlison to feel the love from Spurs fans/ AFP via Getty Images“It’s part of family life,” the South Korean continued. “We always want to have a good time when we play together. Richy obviously had a very difficult time, a difficult season.“But I was very, very happy. I was probably happier than him. We need him in the team, he has very good qualities but the confidence is completely different. For Richy, I just wanted to give him the big hug he deserved and he really showed his quality.“Richy is a really strong guy, he has a good character and can always bounce back strong. But when you go through a difficult time, you need good people around you. » “I always try to be a friend to him and if he needs something I can help him with my experience or through play. I think everyone is behind him and helping him. He has done a great job for this club.The Spurs dressing room has often been riven by dissension over the past three or four seasons, but Ange Postecoglou’s new-look side showed real unity during an unbeaten start under manager from the Australian.“We are still on the way. “Obviously in big games, especially on Saturday, as a group things get tighter and tighter,” Son added. “But I think you can’t compare it to real family of course, but it gets very, very tight in the locker room. Everyone works for each other, everyone runs for each other, everyone fights for each other. When someone starts you give up your hand and everyone likes to do that. It makes us really strong as a team and as a group.

We get really close . We hope we can get even closer.Son’s appointment as the club’s new captain has helped unify the dressing room. Postecoglou said the striker “goes beyond the groups within the team” after handing him the armband.“I have good players and also great people around me, which makes my job really, really easy for me,” Son said.“I’m not trying to be tougher or more difficult in any other way. I just want to be a good example through actions. I’m not the type of person who always speaks and leads with words. I try to be a good role model for everyone, but this group of players really makes my job easier.
