“The leader fired Conte? Shame on you. “Why was Richarlison angry?

[안호근 스타뉴스 기자] Antonio Conte (54) has parted ways with Tottenham Hotspur. There is a story that the boiling discontent of some players played a decisive role in this decision. One of them is said to be Richarlison (26, Brazil), the Brazilian national team, who had previously been dissatisfied with the playing time and shot Conte.

But Richarlison jumped up. On the 31st (Korea time), he tweeted, “I wasn’t the leader of the rebellion against him. Quite the opposite. I’m sorry I didn’t do as well as he expected of me. I didn’t enough to keep him on the team.” he said

Earlier, he was trying to explain the claim that he played a leading role in driving Conte out with Christian Romero.

Tottenham announced on the 27th through the club’s official channel, “We have terminated the contract with manager Conte under a mutual agreement.”

It was a fairly predictable ending. Firefighter Tottenham, who stayed in 9th place last season, raised it to 4th place, and this season, it retains 4th place with a ticket to advance to the UEFA Champions League ( UEFA) (UCL), but the grades were not the only problem.

After a 3-3 draw against Southampton on the 19th, coach Conte poured out his thoughts to the club and the players. It makes me angry because there are selfish players who don’t want to help each other. However, UK’s The Sun said, “The players were disappointed with coach Conte, who blamed them for the defeat.”

On the 30th, reporter Gaston Edul of TyC Sports, an Argentinian media outlet, admitted to a question about Romeroña giving the ultimatum if Conte stayed, and said, “Romero was rethinking his actions if Conte stayed .” Reporter Edul is known to have a close relationship with Romero, who hails from his country, and he also has a close relationship with Richarlison, another South American player. “As far as I know, Richarlison was the same,” he added.

Prior to this, Richarlison had a sniper comment, so it was interpreted that the conflict within the team had escalated further. Richarlison has complained before, “I don’t understand why I started on the bench. I was doing well, but suddenly I was put on the bench.”

However, Richarlison said on the day, “I understand that being critical of my performance as a player is part of football, but lying about me is unacceptable. I always have a lot of respect for Conte and all the coaches who came,” he said.

“He helped me a lot coming to Spurs and whenever we had a problem (even if it was public), we solved it based on conversation and professionalism,” he said. “When he left, I sent him a message of thanks.”

There was also a somewhat agitated response. “On the other hand, the reporter responsible for this horrible lie never talked about my public relations or even listened to me,” said Richarlison. “Bad job and personality. Shame on you, TyC Sports.”
