London –
Tottenham Hotspur managed to get rid of Chelsea in the round of 16 of the Premier League Cup, despite the fact that previously coach José Mourinho had signaled that he would ‘let go’ of this match. The meaning psychic warfare AHAhere?
On Wednesday (09/30/2020) at the morning WIB, Tottenham won 5-4 on penalties after drawing 1-1 for 90 minutes. Against Chelsea, Tottenham played waiting, allowing Chelsea to have more control of the ball by 63 percent.
However, it turned out that Tottenham had a greater threat to Chelsea’s goal, which was protected by their new goalkeeper, Edouard Mendy. There were 11 shots, 3 aimed at the Blues’ goal and 1 scored. While Chelsea only made 7 attempts, 3 of which were aimed at the goal and 1 became a goal.
Tottenham’s game is not like ‘giving in’ to Chelsea. Even before the match, Mourinho seemed reluctant to prioritize this match, given the tight schedule they faced.
After this, they still have to face Maccabi Haifa in the Europa League, on Friday (2/10) in the morning WIB and then face Manchester United in the English League, on Sunday (4/10). In this game, Mourinho made a lot of player rotation. But it actually bears sweet fruit.
“I told them (to the media) that we are ready to fight. I told the players before the penalty shoot-out, I don’t care about penalties, I am more concerned about their previous performances,” Mourinho was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
“We were the best team before, we played very well. In the second half, a team as good as Chelsea looked mediocre, but actually it wasn’t. That’s because we played very well.”
“I told the players that they only need to think about this game, but I have to think about three games at the same time. They only need to think about this game and they are so phenomenal, I have to praise them.”
“I have a bad record of penalties, but tonight I feel that everything is going well. We have been the best so far and the players deserved this victory,” said the Portuguese.
GoodIt seems like yesterday Mourinho was simply frustrated with the schedule. Or is it actually launching psychic war Chelsea manager Frank Lampard? Whatever it is, it won this time.
