BRAZIL forward Richarlison has claimed he plans to " buy an island" and live there with a "bunch of women" when he retires from football.
The Tottenham attacker, 25, is currently preparing for the World Cup after safely making it into Tite's 26-man squad.
And he is expected to start the opening game against Serbia on Thursday.
Yet despite the huge amount of pressure on him to deliver as Brazil's first choice striker, he is cutting a calm and relaxed figure in Qatar.
And he produced a hilarious response when asked about his plans once he hangs up his boots - claiming he is taking inspiration from the legendary Ronaldinho.
He was asked: "Do you have an idea of what you will do when you retire?"

But Richarlison still has some way to go if he is to have a similar impact on the Brazil national team.
