Statements from the Tottenham coach, who had never before suffered two consecutive defeats in matches counted for the championship.
Tottenham are going through a difficult phase in the English league, having been beaten at home by Chelsea, by an unanswered goal. After the match, José Mourinho – who for the first time in his career added two consecutive defeats at home to the championship – regretted the absence of the injured and praised the attitude of his team in the second half:
“We miss some important players, but the effort of those who were in the second half is irrefutable,” he praised, despite the result.
“We are not satisfied with this phase, but the way we finished left me with good indicators,” said the Portuguese coach.
“We had a great opportunity for Vinícius. We can analyze the game from the first to the last minute. If we want to be pragmatic: a penalty, a goal, 0-1. We didn’t have the ball, right?” You didn’t create chances in the first part, did you. And how many opportunities did they have? What made the difference was the penalty. In a difficult match against Chelsea, when a team concedes a penalty they are affected by that. At the end of the first part I saw a team in difficulty, in the second it was the opposite, ”he concluded.
Spurs, who have only two victories in their last 10 league games, fell to eighth place with 33 points, fewer than Chelsea (36), who rose to sixth place, and Everton (36), seventh and have two games beaten. .
Furthermore, this is only the second time that José Mourinho has accumulated three consecutive defeats in one of the four championships in which he worked. In his 20-year career, during which he coached Benfica, União Leiria, FC Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Tottenham, the Portuguese manager had only been in the same situation between October and November 2015 , when it was second to go through the blues.
