# Everton fans react to Neymar’s comments on Richarlison

**Neymar Jr has been backing Richarlison this week as he has publicly displayed his affection for the Everton attacker in an interview with [EvertonTV](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2018/11/15/richarlison-line). The world’s most expensive player stated that: “Everybody knows Richarlison is a really great player and a really good guy”. He added: “My son is already asking me to do Richarlison’s pigeon dance”. Neymar’s comments from Brazil’s training base in London just show how well the 21-year-old is supported, not only in Merseyside but also by his international teammates. The comments from the Paris forward have certainly got Everton fans talking.**

A fair few fans would also be eager to see Neymar in an Everton shirt one day, however unlikely it may seem.
