Richarlison is one of the players who was particularly disappointed after Tottenham's relegation from the Champions League. After the match, the Brazilian did not mince words and spoke openly about his dissatisfaction with the minutes and the coach's decisions.
"This season, excuse the word, it's been s***, because I don't have minutes, I suffered a little with the injury." Richarlison told TNT Sports, as quoted by mirror.co.uk "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 is furious and cannot understand certain decisions within the club.
"Yesterday [Tuesday], 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 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. "- he said.
Antonio Conte on the result
Antonio Conte didn't seem that angry about this result, but he is aware that his team could probably have done more. AC Milan turned out to be a tougher opponent than they expected.
"It was a tough night because we wanted to go to the next round. About the commitment, my players gave everything from the start until the end, also when we had 10 players. It’s a pity. To go out in the Champions League against a team that last season won the league in Italy… we are talking about an important team with important players.
The difference in these two games, two games in the balance, was that they created more danger offensively than us."
