Player Richarlison

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Apparently Conte gave him a bollocking for 2 hours in front of the whole team about going to the media about his playing time. Maybe it's lost in translation, but if true that is incredibly toxic and counter productive.

Those two hours could have been much better used. No wonder we looked uncoached, man was too busy bollocking every in the squad to prepare for matches.

2 hours.. sounds a touch ott... can't imagine anyone in the football world putting together a 2 hour speech especially in a second language.
A mouthful.. yeah for sure... PERHAPS that was warranted... in private NOT in front of everyone.. that's plain arsed dumb and as you say totally counter productive.

Storied guys like Clough have been said to do such things.
 
This is how you want a player to respond.

He knows he was poor last season. He also knows he didn't get as many minutes, or the consistent run in the team, that he would have liked. And that Conte is a proper Cunte.

He talks about owing the club, wanting to do better.

With PEH hopefully going, a bit of Richarlison shithousery (Lamela style) in the mix will help prevent us being too nice to play against.

I've no idea how Ange plans on integrating Richarlison into our team, especially with the uncertainty over Kane. But at least we have a motivated player, wanting to prove himself to the club, the coaches, and us fans.
 
How in the world can chavs get nkuku fir £50m plus when we paid £60M for rich. His been at rb 4 years so assume most ohms his 70 goals abd 45 assist would have been done in first 3 years. Did we even consider him last season? Prbly would have been cheaper as well. Based on pure stats he looks 10xs better. I’m sure his can actually control a ball as well without falling over. Our scouting or lack of is shocking.
Cos Richarlison is PREMIER LEAGUE PROVEN and Nkuku is not.
 
Getting a near 2hr dressing down in front of the team from Conte, wow. I'm sure that really helped with his confidence in an already fragile time! Cheers Conte...
 
Not a fan of his before he came to us, but he turned me around pretty quick, at least in the way that he‘s conducted himself. This to me is another example of that, he comes across authentic with his heart in the right place.

Agree that his game wasn’t good enough last season. Whatever happened behind the scenes won’t be fully revealed, but there probably needed to be something said to draw a line under it. 3 of our 4 attackers were really off (and face it Harry is a freak of nature who can score whenever), so something was really wrong. Hopefully now he’s said his piece and with the right backing, we get to see ‘Brazil Richie’ in a Spurs shirt. I know that’s far from guaranteed but I believe he’ll put the effort in.

Still backing Richy.

Will get more minutes from Ange as we need to play higher intensity with more running/pressing from the forwards.
