The week is complicated for Tottenham: the English club was eliminated from the Champions League in the round of 16 by AC Milan, and Antonio Conte was heckled by the press and one of his players.

The very great disappointment with the failure in C1 was confirmed at Standard Sport by Englishman Harry Kane: “Where we are as a club, we should be winning trophies. That’s always the goal. (…) But it is certain that it is not enough for the club”. The 29-year-old striker also said he understood “absolutely” the disappointment of the fans, and that the latter had the right “to express their opinion”. Especially since Tottenham, 4th in PL, will not win anything this season, once again.
However, Harry Kane, admittedly disappointed, did not attack his coach, Antonio Conte, unlike Richarlison.
Richarlison to Spain?
The 25-year-old Brazilian indeed complained vehemently about his non-start against AC Milan, pointing directly to the Italian’s choices. The Spurs coach replied curtly, referring to a season “crappy” for his striker, recruited from Everton for 58M euros.
We learn this Saturday, through the media ESPN, that a club, and not the least, could get Richarlison out of this situation: Real Madrid. The Spanish club is currently coached by Carlo Ancelotti, and the Italian, who had Richarlison under his command at Everton, would like to recruit the Brazilian this summer, to gradually take the place of Karim Benzema on the front of the attack, while the 35-year-old Frenchman, often injured this season, has only played 27 games (for 18 goals and 5 assists).
Real Madrid is indeed looking for a successor to the striker, and the names are multiplying, between Kylian Mbappé (PSG), Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus) and Gonçalo Ramos (Benfica).
