“Egos, self-interests, advisors”
Mourinho rages against generation of footballers
“The psychological profiles of young people are not easy,” says José Mourinho. The coach of Tottenham Hotspur takes a sweeping blow against today’s generation of footballers and criticizes their selfishness. The reason for the anger is probably also last week’s disappointment.
Three days after a public settlement with his team, team manager José Mourinho from the English top club Tottenham Hotspur hit the ground running and criticized the entire generation of footballers. “The egoism is there, the self-interests are there, the advisors are there, the connections between advisors and the press are there,” said the Portuguese Sky Sports: “It’s not easy in football these days.”
The Spurs were eliminated during the week in the eighth finals of the Europa League after an embarrassing performance in the second leg at Dinamo Zagreb (0: 3 nV). On Sunday, the team reported back in the Premier League with a win at Aston Villa (2-0), but Mourinho is unforgiving. The trainer lacks empathy. “I do something for you, you do something for me. I win when I play 90 minutes, I win when I sit in the stands,” said Mourinho, describing his dream. The way there takes a lot of time nowadays, because “the society and the psychological profiles of young people are not easy”.
“The game will leave a scar for a very long time”
Mourinho was deeply affected by Tottenham’s end in the Europa League: “I feel hurt in my honor. Our performance was unacceptable. A lot of heart and a lot of will have struck us. And if we think heart doesn’t belong to football, then we’re wrong, “said the Portuguese after the departure of the TV broadcaster BT Sports. “I’m just coming out of the Dinamo dressing room. I praised the boys and I regret that a team – not my team – won the game because of the attitude.”
Tottenham are three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea after the weekend’s success and have improved their chances of qualifying for the Champions League. “I am very happy with the result, I am very happy with the performance, I am very happy with the attitude,” said Mourinho. “But I’m not happy about why it didn’t work 48 hours ago when it worked today,” said Mourinho: “Thursday’s game will leave a scar for a very long time. It won’t heal with the win.”
