BRAZIL forward Richarlison physically MOVED teammate Fred after he sat in Neymar’s seat for a squad picture ahead of the World Cup.
The five-time world champions are heading to Qatar as the favourites to lift the trophy.
Tite’s 26-man squad boasts a plethora of superstars led by Paris Saint-Germain’s Neymar.
And it was Tottenham’s Richarlison who reminded Manchester United midfielder Fred of the hierarchy among the players on the eve of the tournament.
As they prepared for a photo together, Fred sat down in the middle of the shot.
If he had stayed there, he would have been situated next to Brazil captain Marquinhos and Newcastle man Bruno Guimaraes.

It was a hilarious moment which caused a huge reaction on social media.
One person said: “😅 Poor Fred. Good to see players respect Neymar”.
