Antonio Conte: Richarlison criticises Tottenham manager over lack of playing time

Tottenham forward Richarlison has criticised manager Antonio Conte over his lack of playing time this season.

The Brazil international, 25, joined Spurs from Everton in a £60m deal last summer but has since started just seven games in the Premier League.

Richarlison, who has spent time sidelined through injuries, came on as a 70th-minute substitute as Spurs were knocked out of the Champions League by AC Milan on Wednesday.

"I should have played," he said.

Speaking to Brazilian TV station TNT Sports after Wednesday's match, he added: "I was playing well, we won against Chelsea and West Ham and suddenly I was on the bench.
