James Maddison’s partner gives birth to twins after completing Spurs move
James Maddison's partner Kennedy Alexa has given birth to twins after recently completing his move to Tottenham.
The former Watford frontman remarked on the Que Papinho podcast regarding the encounter with Conte as reported by Football London, "He has to show his firmness also to the group, to say that he is there, that he is still in charge.
"It is his way of dealing with people, with the group, and he spent almost two hours just telling me off in the meeting, in front of everyone [laughs].
"Then the players even said: 'Richy, don't do this anymore. Stay two hours waiting' [laughs]. Everyone wanted to go, and we were there. Solved, fine."
Richarlison apologises
Conte was fired shortly after, but Richarlison says he has no hard feelings toward the Italian and that he went out to the manager to set the record straight.
As reported by Football London, "After they sent him away, I sent him a message. I apologised because he was the guy who asked for me to be hired, and I couldn't help him as much as he thought I could. The least I could do is apologise for what happened there."
