‘What’s missing’ – Richarlison says he wants Spurs to focus on one thing next season
Richarlison has admitted that he wants Tottenham to focus on lifting a trophy next season, in the form of either the FA Cup or the League Cup.
Spurs have not tasted silverware since their 2008 Carling Cup win over Chelsea, a drought which went beyond embarrassing many years ago, and has delved into the realm of just plain sad.

To make matters worse, Tottenham failed to qualify for any European competition last season as they limped to an eighth-place finish in the Premier League.
The one silver lining from this is that while most of their big-six rivals, and even the likes of West Ham, Brighton, and Aston Villa, will have European travel to contend with, Spurs will be able to focus solely on domestic competitions.
Richarlison wants to lift a cup with Spurs next year
When asked what the main difference between Everton and Spurs is, Richarlison was keen to point out that Tottenham should be showing more ambition to make the gulf clearer.
Speaking on the YouTube podcast Que Papinho, Richarlison said: “There is a lot of difference. The CT, the stadium. Everything different.
“What’s missing are the titles. We have to be more ambitious.
“I hope that this season we focus on a Cup, lift a title.
“The fans support us and deserve to celebrate.”
Spurs Web Opinion:
At times, Tottenham do feel cursed. In order to win trophies, you need a whole lot of talent and a small slice of luck.
No matter how much Tottenham try, they always seem to fall at the final hurdle, as if this mentality trickles down from squad to squad. It doesn’t make much sense, but it is miserable.
