What happened when Richarlison met Cristian Romero for the first time as a Tottenham player

Much has been made of Richarlison and Cristian Romero's very first meeting at Hotspur Way following the Brazilian's big-money move to the club. Coming up against each other in the Premier League last season for the very first time, the pair had a couple of lively battles in Tottenham's league games against Everton.

Having clashed with Romero in the first half of the game at Goodison Park in November, the players then went head-to-head after the break when the Brazilian claimed a penalty and the Spurs man came across to deliver his verdict on the appeal. Next facing each other at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the start of March, Romero left his mark on his opponent early doors with a late tackle that left Richarlison in a heap on the pitch just in front of the south stand.

Given the battles between the pair, fans, and probably Spurs players for that matter, have been left wondering what exactly would happen when they spot each other at the training ground for the first time after Richarlison's move to the club. Well, we now have the answer after Tottenham published a video of the pair meeting each other in the canteen at Hotspur Way.
