RICHARLISON has slammed Antonio Conte after Tottenham were dumped out of the Champions League.
Spurs failed to score over two legs against AC Milan and lost 1-0 on aggregate.
Richarlison was brought on with 20 minutes to go but failed to make an impact on the match, with Tottenham managing just two shots on target.
The Brazilian fumed at Conte after the match, complaining he has not been picked regularly enough even when he is playing well.
Richarlison told TNT Sport: “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.

“Yesterday they asked me to take a fitness test in the gym and told me I was going to start (against Milan) if I passed it.
“And (against Milan) I was on the bench, there are things I can’t understand.
“There was no explanation again, let’s see what he (Conte) will tell us tomorrow but I’m not silly, I’m a professional that works hard every day and I want to play.
“There hasn’t been enough minutes given to me, this season – and forgive my language – has been s***.

“I don’t have enough minutes, was injured for a bit, but when I’m on the pitch I give my life.
“I played well in two games, especially against Chelsea, so I think I should have played (against Milan), but I can’t go on crying about it now.”
Spurs fans turned on Conte on Wednesday night and booed his side off at half-time and again after the final whistle.
Some supporters even began singing the name of former manager Mauricio Pochettino, who they want to take over from the Italian.
A video posted on social media showed them singing: “He’s magic, you know, Mauricio Pochettino.”
Conte was uncertain about his future when asked last night, admitting he may not see out the rest of the season.
He said: “My contract expires in June.
“We will see — they might sack me even before the end of the season, who knows, maybe they are disappointed.”
