Jakarta –
It is still the analogy of the horse in the competition for the title of José Mourinho. In the past, the Chelsea horse that Mourinho raised could win, could Tottenham’s horse be?
Mourinho once expressed regret when he led Chelsea in the 2013/2014 Premier League title competition. That season, Chelsea started the first year of Mourinho’s second term, so it was considered a horse at the racetrack.
According to Mourinho, the two racehorses in competition at the time were Manchester City and Arsenal. Liverpool recently animated the competition, with their then manager, Brendan Rodgers, comparing his team to ‘Chihuahua in the middle of a horse race’.
Chelsea finished third, behind Manchester City and Liverpool. Meanwhile, Arsenal had to settle for fourth place.
But in the process, Mourinho proved his words, when he led Chelsea to the championship in the 2014/2015 season, aka in the second year. Chelsea this season has certainly grown into a grown horse that can be used for running, he is no longer a small horse, despite the fact that he was later abused and damaged in the third year.
The term horse is used again by José Mourinho with Tottenham Hotspur this season. Last season he had to settle for taking the Spurs to finish sixth, but remember that he only joined mid-season in November.
This season should be Tottenham’s first full season with Mourinho. But the signs are already very promising. After opening the season with a loss to Everton, Tottenham were unbeaten in the next nine games (6 wins, 3 draws).
Harry Kane and others have recorded 21 goals, only drastically lost to Chelsea and Liverpool. Defensively, Tottenham have only conceded nine goals and are the best yet.
“We are not even in a race for the title, so we are not running horses. We are ponies,” said José Mourinho. BBC after Chelsea vs Tottenham, which ended in a 0-0 draw.
But Mourinho’s ex-subordinate Frank Lampard, who is now in charge of Chelsea, believes Tottenham deserves to be the leading candidate for the champions this season. Because according to him, how could Chelsea be a champion candidate while Tottenham, who had a better pace, were even out of the game?
It is interesting to know whether Mourinho’s Tottenham horse will follow his Chelsea horse, whether he wins in the second full year or even earlier. What is clear this season Tottenham has beaten strong teams like Manchester United (6-1), Manchester City (2-0), and is tied with Chelsea (0-0).
