Richarlison reveals Antonio Conte’s inspirational message as striker returns to training after World Cup

The Brazilian striker shared an image of his Spurs training kit on Monday night as he returned to Hotspur Way with the Premier League restart on the horizon.

“We’re back,” Richarlison wrote on his Instagram with a blue love heart emoji.

The 25-year-old also posted a handwritten message pasted on one of the training ground walls by Antonio Conte.

“We start to win, then we see the way,” read the note above one of Spurs’ club mottoes, signed by the Italian manager.

Tottenham relaunch their league campaign on Boxing Day with a trip through the capital to Brentford as they look to climb higher in the table, currently fourth with a three-point gap either side of second-placed Manchester City and Manchester United in fifth.

First, they host Nice for a mid-season friendly on December 21 after scoring four goals against Motherwell at the weekend.
