What are the Tottenham players going to do in the coming season without the European Cup and under the leadership of Ange Postecoglou? To try to make a success of his debut, the Australian-Greek technician will certainly have to better manage the relationship with his players than Antonio Conte did. The Italian tactician had a tumultuous relationship with many players whom he had accused of being selfish during a lunar tirade at the end of an equally lunar draw against Southampton (3-3). Symbol of this failed season for Spurs, Richarlison was in conflict with his former coach. Author of bad beginnings, the former Everton had named Conte as responsible for his starving record (3 goals and 3 assists in 35 matches). For good reason, the latter used it too little according to the 26-year-old striker who had expressed his discomfort in the mixed zone.

Asked this Friday at the microphone of the podcast That PapinhoRicharlison returned to this episode and did not fail to deliver a crisp confidence to say the least on his relationship with the former Chelsea coach: “I made a mistake doing an interview saying that I needed (game) time. Later I apologized and said he could punish me. He scolded me to show he was the commander. It’s his way of dealing with it. Almost two hours of scolding me in front of everyone there.It remains to be seen whether the titular striker of the Brazilian selection will be able to do better next season in a calmer climate.
