If Spurs can manage four points from those two games, their safety will almost certainly be guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to ESPN about Tottenham\u2019s relegation fight and what Spurs need to do over the final weeks of the campaign, Richarlison admitted the situation is difficult but insisted the side is continuing to move forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s difficult, but point by point we\u2019re moving forward,\u201d he said. \u201cDepending on the result of next weekend\u2019s game, with one more point we can avoid relegation, but we need to do our part. Away from home we\u2019ve managed to pick up points well. Now we have to stay calm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian forward also reflected on Tottenham\u2019s latest display against Leeds United, where Spurs were forced to settle for a draw after conceding from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe played a very intense game today.

Discussing the situation with ESPN, Richarlison admitted the uncertainty surrounding his international future is weighing heavily on his mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnxious, right? I think I gave up a lot for that shirt,\u201d the Tottenham player said while discussing Brazil. \u201cI\u2019m doing my work here at Tottenham, I\u2019m playing, I\u2019m scoring my goals.

I believe I can be there. And if I am, I\u2019ll do my best for the national team shirt, like I always have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian also stressed that he will continue supporting the national side regardless of whether he is selected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegardless of whether I\u2019m there or not, I have brothers and teammates there.
