Coronavirus: Richarlison imitates Ronaldo’s haircut during self-isolation

Richarlison must be top of the flop crops – after copying Ronaldo’s infamous 2002 World Cup haircut.

The comb-alone striker and team-mates are self-isolating after Everton locked down to combat coronavirus fears.

But Richarlison offered some light relief to the more serious matters to worry about by being up front about his admiration for Brazil legend Ronaldo.

The 22-year-old showed off his new “style” in an Instagram story – with the back half of his hair shaved off.

And although Richarlison was wearing a LeBron James LA Lakers vest, he was sporting a hoop-less hair-do… judging by the reaction Ronaldo got to the same snip 18 years ago.

Alongside his controversial cut, Richarlison wrote: “In quarantine, we are like….”

Ronaldo, now 43, had the last laugh on his crop critics back in 2002 as he and Brazil lifted the World Cup for the second time in eight years.

And Richarlison tagged the ex-Real Madrid and Barcelona icon in his post.

And if his career proves as half as successful as his fellow countryman then he will surely become an all-time Everton great – or command a huge transfer fee.

He already has six goals in 19 internationals, whereas Ronaldo finished with 62 in 98.

And aside from spells with Spain’s biggest two clubs, Ronaldo also shone for PSV, Inter and AC Milan.

Richarlison looks as if he’s cut out to be a hairo, too…
