Eliminated from the Champions League by AC Milan in the round of 16, Tottenham now has nothing left to play for in its season. After the match, a Spurs player strongly criticized Antonio Conte’s choices.
Beaten 1-0 by the Milanese on the whole of the two games, Tottenham left the Champions League by the back door. The Spurs never gave the impression of wanting to qualify, despite facing an Italian team in great difficulty in the league. Fourth in the Premier League, the London club will now give everything to validate their qualification for the next C1 in a complicated season. After the meeting, Richarlison appeared in front of the media to discuss the elimination. The Brazilian striker, recruited for nearly 70 million euros last summer, was not kind to his coach Antonio Conte. The Italian technician introduced the 25-year-old in the 70th minute. In vain. What did not please the former Everton striker.
Richarlison attacks Antonio Conte
“Why am I not playing? I do not understand either. I am a professional and I work seriously every day. It was going well, I had chained once morest West Ham and Chelsea, then suddenly he put me on the bench once morest Wolves. I asked the reasons, and he told me nothing. Yesterday, they made me pass a test in room, and said to me that if I was in form, I would be titular. I was a substitute, it’s incomprehensible. This season, excuse the word, it’s been shit, because I don’t have playing time, I’ve also been injured. But, when I step onto the pitch, I give my life.” said the Brazilian, visibly very upset by Antonio Conte’s choices at TNT Sports. After this blunder, the future of the former coach of Italy is very uncertain. He recently spoke to explain that he was going to take stock with his leaders on his future soon, but that there had never been any question of extending his contract with the London club. Not really a surprise.
