LONDON (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison criticised manager Antonio Conte following Wednesday's Champions League last-16 exit, questioning the Italian's decision to bench him while declaring the north London club has had a 's***' season.
Spurs were knocked out of Europe's premier cup competition by AC Milan after failing to score in both legs as the Serie A club progressed 1-0 on aggregate.
"I didn't understand... I was playing well, we won against Chelsea and West Ham and suddenly I was on the bench. I played five minutes against Wolves, asked the reason and no one told me why," Richarlison told TNT Sports Brazil. "There was no explanation again, let's see what he will tell us on Thursday but I'm not silly, I'm a professional that works hard every day and I want to play."
He lamented Spurs' insipid attack against Milan as they failed to test the Italian side, exiting the competition with a whimper, leaving the club nothing to play for this term apart from securing a top-four finish.
