After several months, Richarlison broke his silence and spoke publicly about his relationship with Antonio Conte. The Italian coach is a huge troublemaker, as evidenced by the way he dealt with the Brazilian striker.

Richarlison moved to north London last year for nearly 60 million euros. Unsurprisingly, the fans and the entire club management had high expectations, which the Brazilian marksman failed to live up to.

In fact, the Brazilian racked up more yellow cards, which he received for taking off his jersey after celebrating scoring an disallowed goal, than goals themselves.

He has notched up a single successful tackle in the Premier League, so it’s no wonder Antonio Conte kept him out of the line-up. Richarlison played only 1,000 minutes in the last edition of the English top flight. That means roughly 37 minutes per game.

The striker even vented his dissatisfaction in the media, through which he demanded more minutes on the pitch. The two eventually got into a media shootout as they constantly hit back.

He yelled at me in front of everyone for two hours!

Richarlison publicly stated after the Champions League game against AC Milan that he didn’t understand why he was left out of the lineup. In a recent interview with YouTube channel Que Papinho!, he said it was a mistake.

“I made a mistake when I said in the interview that I should play more. I later apologized and said he could punish me,” Richarlison said.

“He replied that he was the boss and was ready to prove it. During the team meeting, he spent about two hours yelling at me in front of everyone,” the Brazilian forward continued.

But both of them can now put their personal problems behind them and focus on new challenges. Richarlison, in particular, will have to do his best to repay the club’s considerable investment with his performances.
