Brazilian forward and Tottenham attacker, Richarlison has publicly aim a dig at his manager after he was left to play only 20 minutes in a crunchy deciding match against Italian giant, AC Milan.
After guiding Tottenham to a top four last season, inconsistency in performance has overshadowed the team, with doubt among the boards as to whether they can continue with Conte.
After the match, Richarlison told TNT Sports: “That’s what I didn’t understand, too (being a substitute). It was going well, in a good sequence, two wins against West Ham and Chelsea. Suddenly, he (Cristian Stellini) put me on the bench, against Wolverhampton he put me on for five minutes. I asked why? They didn’t tell me anything. And, yesterday, they asked me to take a test at the gym, that if I was good I would go to the game and, at the time of the game, they left me on the bench. These are things that it is not possible to understand.
“Let’s see what he (Conte) will say tomorrow, but there are no fools here either, I’m a professional, I work every day and I want to play. There are minutes left, time left. This season, excuse the word, it’s been sh*t, because I don’t have minutes, I suffered a little with the injury. But, when I enter the field, I give my life. I came from two games well, I think that’s it, I think I should have played and I don’t have to cry about it.”
Richarlison on the hand has not really being phenomenal since his transfer from Everton to Tottenham, with only two Champions League goals to his name since the commencement of the season.
