Richarlison responds to allegations of his involvement in Conte's dismissal today(2023)

 Tottenham's Richarlison has responded to press reports that he was involved in the sacking of manager Antonio Conte.

Tottenham had sacked Antonio Conte as manager just days earlier, shortly after his fiery comments about the player.

Richarlison did not have a good relationship with Conte, especially since the latter did not systematically rely on the Brazilian's services.

Argentina's TyC Sports claimed Richarlison and Cristian Romero were leading a mutiny against Conte, but the Brazilian released a statement on social media defending himself.

Richarlison wrote: "My criticism of my playing performance is part of football and I understand that, but I don't accept lies about myself!" really helped my move to Tottenham and when we had an issue (even if it was public) we agreed on the basis of professionalism and professionalism and he can attest to that "On the other hand, for these terrible lie journalist responsible did not have the slightest conversation with my representatives or listened to me." He concluded: "Bad professionalism and bad humor! Shame on you Tyc Sports!"
