After Tottenham's exit from the #Champions League, manager Antonio Conte stated that #Richarlison had made a mistake by being "selfish" in his recent interview. The 25-year-old had appeared to criticize Conte over his lack of playing time this season, but the Italian coach believes that Richarlison was honest about his poor performance this season.
Although he has not scored any goals in the Premier League, Richarlison has netted twice in the Champions League this season, but has only started in seven games. He was disappointed not to be named in the starting lineup against AC Milan, which ultimately led to their elimination from the competition.
#Conte emphasized the importance of team spirit and said that players must focus on "we" instead of "I" to build a successful team. Richarlison apologized for his comments, which allowed Conte to clarify the team's spirit and move on.
Despite speculation surrounding his future at the club, Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte remains focused on his job. After being eliminated from both the FA Cup and the Europa League, Spurs are currently fourth in the Premier League. However, the team has failed to score in their last three games and Conte acknowledges that fans are losing patience with his side.
While he insists he is committed to the club and is willing to give his all, Conte admits that his contract, which expires at the end of the season, was a strange one. He signed an 18-month deal when he was appointed in 2021, which is shorter than the usual three-year contract.
Conte has asked for patience and time, but recognizes that the fans' patience has run out. Despite this, he believes that building a winning team takes time and cannot be achieved in one day. Ahead of #Tottenham's match against #Nottingham Forest, he stated that he is ready to fight until the end of the season and then reassess the situation with the club.
