Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has seemingly fired a brutal dig at Richarlison, who recently blamed the manager for his poor season.
The Brazilian gave an explosive interview after Spurs' UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, where he admitted that his first campaign with Spurs has been S***.
Richarlison seemed unpleased with Conte's decision to bench him at times this season, but Spurs coach agreed with the player having a bad season.

"First of all I watched the interview with Richarlison and he didn't criticise me. He said my season is a "s***" and he is right because his season is no good because he had a lot of injury," Conte said.
"He started well with us, he then had an injury and went to the World Cup and had another injury, he came back and stayed one month out.
"He scored zero goals with us (in the Premier League), only two goals in the Champions League and the guy was really honest to say his season was not good.
"Then you ask me for the rest of the interview? I think (the) guy understood he made a mistake because when you speak with I, I and I, not 'us'. It means you are thinking only about yourself and you are selfish.
"I repeat to my players, if we want to build something important, fight for something important, fight to be competitive and win a trophy, we have to speak with 'we'.
"If we speak I, I and I, we are only thinking about himself. The guy understood very well and apologised, which is good because I had an opportunity to clarify for another time the spirit of the team."
