José Mourinho warned that the return of Tottenham supporters will not help their team if they only come to revel in the hospitality of the club’s stylish new stadium and satisfy their soccer fix.
Spurs will admit 2,000 supporters for the first time since closing in the North London derby against Arsenal on Sunday and Mourinho wants them to be part of the team.
“It depends on the fans, their profile, the way people are going to face the game,” he said, when asked if the returning fans will help him stay on top of the Premier League.
‘You want to go to the most beautiful stadium in England and enjoy that? Or do you want to go play?
“If they want to enjoy the stadium and their passion for football, I don’t think there is a big difference.
“If they want to go there and play, wear a Tottenham jersey and play, then that can give us a little more motivation and pleasure, yes.”
Mourinho’s comments address the dilemma faced by those clubs that are not in Level 3 of Covid restrictions that can invite fans to buy tickets, but only a small percentage.
Tottenham, priced at £ 65, promised a ‘proportional allocation’ between ‘season ticket holders, premium and other stakeholders such as partners and affiliates’.
The fear for the head coach will be an excess of corporate fans who will not make their presence felt in support of their players.
Regarding the complaints from managers like Marcelo Bielsa and Steve Bruce, managers of Tier 3 clubs that must continue to play in empty stadiums, Mourinho said: ‘I can understand their position but at the same time the situation is so difficult and frustrating.’ for all.
“We have to accept all these things for the sake of football, the sake of people’s happiness and the perspective of ‘yours is going to change for the better.’ For me, we have to accept and adapt. ‘
The Spurs manager also expressed concern that four Premier League clubs – Manchester City, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Burnley – still have a game on their hands due to their late start to the campaign.
And he demanded that the matches be played before the competition reaches the halfway point, even if that means that the clubs involved have to play four times in a week, as Tottenham did earlier in the season, when they participated in the qualifying rounds of the Europa League.
“It is very difficult to accept,” Mourinho said. ‘I don’t even know when these games are going to play, which in any other country would be impossible.
“They have to be played at least until the end of the first round, so before game 19, they should play these games.
‘It is difficult to accept because it can affect the competition. I don’t even know when they are going to play. I was trying to find an answer and no one can give me that answer.
“By the way, we played four games in a week and nobody cried or supported us because of that. And now my teammates, when do you play these games? ‘
