Tottenham striker Richarlison has slammed the duo of Antonio Conte and
Cristian Stellini after their Champions League elimination last night.
Recall that Spurs crashed out of the competition as a goalless draw meant they lost 1-0 on aggregate to AC Milan.
The Brazilian international came on as substitute 20 minutes from the end of the game and was unable to make a difference.
However, in an explosive interview following the game with TNT Sports Brazil, he has questioned Conte for dropping him to the bench after victories over West Ham and Chelsea.
He also admitted in the interview that it has been a “s*** season”.
Richarlison said, “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.
“
season, excuse the word, it’s been s***, 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.
