Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho, angry with the sudden cancellation of the game, once again complained.
At a press conference held one day before the 17th round of the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) of the 2020-2021 season with Leeds United on the 1st (local time), coach Mourinho said, “I don’t want to talk much about the acting against Fulham.” I don’t think it was a professional treatment, but it did, and maybe it’s always been like this.”
Tottenham was scheduled to play a home game against Fulham in the 16th round of EPL at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 30th of last month.
However, as many confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) occurred in Fulham, the EPL secretariat decided to postpone the game three hours before the kickoff.
At the time, coach Morinho criticized the decision to cancel the game too late.
He said via his social media account about an hour before the decision to postpone, that is, 4 hours before the start of the match, “The match time is 6 PM, but we still do not know whether the match will be held. It is the best league in the world.” .
“I prepared for the Fulham match, but I couldn’t play the game, so I had trouble training for a week,” said Morinyu at a press conference. “If I knew about the postponement of the match in advance, I would have been able to prepare for another training. “What we can’t do doesn’t help us.”
It’s a pity that we couldn’t play against the lower Fulham, but we need to focus on the upcoming Leeds.
Tottenham, who once led the league this season, fell to 7th place in recent 4 games, with 2 draws and 2 losses.
In particular, the atmosphere subsided after losing 1–2 in the 13th round match against Liverpool last month and handing over the first place.
“The sluggishness started from the defeat against Liverpool. It was a game that could be won, and it was a game that couldn’t be lost. After that, the result was bad and the performance fell.” “We won again and scored a goal,” he said. I believe the period will come again.”
