Brazil striker Richarlison is quickly building his reputation as one of the most lethal strikers in the world.

Wearing the number 9 shirt at a major tournament for a nation that is massively talented, like Brazil, is only reserved for the chosen few. Richarlison has so far proven he is up to the task.

Richarlison had in the past expressed his desire not to get any tattoos but changed his mind after leading Brazil to Olympic gold last year.

Brazil literally danced their way to quarter-final qualification following their comprehensive 4-1 victory over South Korea on Monday evening.
