The Everton attacker was understandably happy after leading Brazil to a 5-0 rout of El Salvador thanks to his two-goal haul on Tuesday
It was a "dream come true" for Richarlison as the Brazil forward marked his starting debut with two goals against El Salvador.
Everton star Richarlison scored in either half to lead Brazil to a 5-0 rout of El Salvador in Tuesday's international friendly.
After coming off the bench to make his debut against the United States last week, Richarlison was named in the starting XI and netted two fine goals in Maryland.
Speaking afterwards, the 21-year-old – who has netted three goals in as many Premier League matches for Everton this season – said: "I'm very happy, right. A dream come true ... my first goal. I hope to do more."
Richarlison earned a second-minute penalty, albeit harshly on El Salvador as Roberto Dominguez appeared to get a foot on the ball, before captain Neymar converted.
The former Watford attacker then doubled Brazil's lead with a stunning first-time finish in the 16th minute before he scored the team's fourth of the night – another fine effort five minutes into the second half.
"Pressure, responsibility. I'm used to playing in big clubs," Richarlison said.
Richarlison, who linked up well with Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar, added: "I'm very happy for both goals. I was able to take advantage of the opportunity.
"I just have to thank my friends. I have to work hard at my club to come back more often."

I wrote about this guy two seasons ago when Chelsea was first linked with him and after l had seen his play on YouTube. I liked what l saw and urged Chelsea to buy the player for the future,did they buy him,no,even though Costa was still there but l saw something in his play which was raw and which needed polishing. A season ago he came to the EPL and l thought this was a chance Chelsea had to buy him,did they??? The clueless Lady returns Morata and we are back to square one with moans and groans about his type of play as always but had we gone for this guy before Everton did we would be assured of goals from him every game than now. I wish Chelsea would find another Amenalo ,a man renowned for his footballing brains but hated mostly for where he originated from and for his tan. Look what you haters brought us to and brought us what. No one has the eye for the future anymore but only for that moment let alone the present.
