Tottenham manager José Mourinho could not resist an attack on Real Madrid after Gareth Bale’s triumph against Brighton and Hove Albion.
José Mourinho praised Gareth Bale’s “personality” after his winning goal against Brighton and Hove Albion and said he is eager to hear from Real Madrid on his match-winning display with Tottenham.
Bale’s first goal for Tottenham since rejoining Spurs on loan from LaLiga champions Madrid in September sealed a 2-1 win over Brighton on Sunday to take them to second place in the Premier League, two points behind. of the leader Liverpool.
Harry Kane had previously scored his 149th goal in the top flight from the penalty spot to equal Les Ferdinand for 10th on the Premier League all-time goals list, before Tariq Lamptey tied Graham Potter. shortly before time.
However, Bale sealed the maximum points in the 73rd minute, and headed home from eight yards just three minutes after replacing Erik Lamela in London.
Spurs head coach Mourinho was delighted with the Wales international’s overall contribution and could not withstand an offensive against his parent club, whose boss, Zinedine Zidane, had a public feud with Bale.
“For a week or so, he has been improving,” Mourinho told a news conference. “It’s not just from watching it, the data supports it too. We knew it, Gareth knew it. We shared ideas and feelings.
“He deserves it [the goal]. When I have five minutes I will look at the Madrid websites to see what they say about him.
“He showed a great personality and had a great impact, scoring a very important goal for us. He also joined Harry in a very experienced way to play the last 15 minutes for us.
“They were very smart, very smart, especially holding the ball and taking it to areas where they couldn’t hurt us.
“He knows we care about him and he cares about the club. I think he’s a perfect fit. He’s very calm, very smart. I’m very happy that he scored the winning goal.”
Bale has started just one game and has made three appearances as a substitute since returning to North London as he slowly regains his physical form.
Mourinho revealed that he would start Thursday’s Europa League match against Ludogorets, although he said the club will not rush him.
“He doesn’t have 90 minutes on his legs yet,” he added. “We are using the Europa League to get him minutes and when we can in the Premier League.
“Of course, he is getting better and better and better. He will start again on Thursday, but he will not play the 90 minutes. I will use him in the right way.”
Lamptey’s goal came after referee Graham Scott conducted a lengthy review of the video off the pitch to assess whether there had been a foul on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in preparation.
Mourinho will not say whether he thought it was a foul, but he thinks the referees should have to explain their decisions after a match.
“There are decisions that I think should explain and not leave us in front of you [journalists] explaining things for which we have no explanation, “he said.
“I’d rather not talk about it. I see Scott as a good referee. He went to the screen and saw what we saw on the bench. I should explain it but I know that’s not going to happen.”
