Tottenham manager José Mourinho says he has recently used social media to try to open up “his world” to soccer fans.
Mourinho, whose Spurs team is at the top of the Premier League table, has been active on Instagram since the beginning of this year, with some of his most recent posts making headlines.
Over the weekend he revealed how a lost bet forced him to spend £ 500 on Spanish ham for left-back Sergio Reguilón.
“The posts are what they are. I posted 10 minutes after the terrible defeat in Antwerp, I did not post after Man City, it was a very good victory and we were all happy,” Mourinho explained.
“I’m just trying to open our world to the world. People often love the inside, they love what they don’t see. I think the success of that Amazon series was exactly that everything was open. I think it’s a lot of fun for everyone.
“A great Formula One, let’s say Red Bull. The drivers, the boss, I would love to know how they work. I think Instagram in this case is an opportunity for little things that don’t hurt anyone, it’s not a problem at all.
“Sometimes it’s funny, other times it’s not at all, when you post when you’re upset. It’s little things for people to get to know our world.
“In the case of the latter, it is a simple thing that happens. The players want a Spanish ham, it is quite expensive, who pays? (Sergio) Does Reguilón have to pay because he is Spanish? If we win I pay, that is Everything. The players, of course, were happy that I had to pay. “
Alderweireld out for two to four weeks
Toby Alderweireld suffered a kidnapper injury in Saturday’s win over Manchester City
Toby Alderweireld is out of the Europa League encounter with the Bulgarian Ludogorets, but the adductor injury suffered by the Belgian international against Manchester City is not as serious as feared.
Mourinho said: “He has a muscle injury but not as big as we initially thought.
“He will have time to be away, but not like a month, which was immediately what we thought. I’d say two to four weeks, but not tomorrow.
“It’s bad news, he was playing his best football. He is an important player that we will miss.”

There were doubts about the match that took place with reports in Bulgaria suggesting that some Ludogorets players had tested positive for coronavirus.
But Mourinho said: “According to my information, that’s not true. The problems they had were immediately after the game we played there (3-1 win on November 5). They had one more game after that, which they won, then the international break.
“From the team that comes (on Thursday), I think only two players who played against us are not playing. Other than that, the other nine are listed and ready to go.
“I do not understand the news, there is a great contradiction between the news and the information we have.”
