In an interview with TNT Sports Brazil following the game, Richarlison expressed frustration with how he started as a substitution during Tottenham\u2019s game against AC Milan.<\/p>\n
Criticizing his manager, the Brazilian said, \u201cit was going well, in a good sequence, two wins against West Ham and Chelsea,\u201d he said. \u201cSuddenly, he put me on the bench. Then, against Wolverhampton, Conte put me on for five minutes. I asked why, but he didn\u2019t tell me anything.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd, yesterday, he asked me to take a test at the gym, that if I were good, I would go to the game and left me on the bench at the time. These are things that it is not possible to understand.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s see what he will say tomorrow, but there are no fools here either. I\u2019m a professional, work daily, and want to play.\u201d<\/p>\n
Richarlison came on as a substitute with 20 minutes remaining, with Spurs needing a goal to force extra time but could not make a difference. In his 25 appearances, the Brazilian striker has averaged just under 45 minutes, scoring just two goals in that time across all competitions.<\/p>\n
Spurs failed to score over two legs against AC Milan and lost 1-0 on aggregate in round 16 of the Champions league.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
