Mourinho blames the player again… I told you to play to win

[엑스포츠뉴스 김희웅 인턴기자] Pajang Jose Mourinho pointed out the attitudes of the players.

Tottenham Hotspur played Dynamo Zagreb in the 2nd leg of the European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League (UEL) in the 2020/21 season held at Stadion Maximir in Zagreb, Croatia at 2:55 a.m. Korean time on the 19th. I was defeated. We won 2-0 in the first leg, but the quarter-finals were canceled with a combined score of 3-2.

It was literally a complete defeat. It was a different aspect of the game from the first game. Tottenham’s attack was blunt, and it collapsed with only Orsic scoring three goals.

After the game, coach Mourinho said,’I don’t think we’ve been in a sudden. I told the players to play for victory. He told me to throw away the feeling that it is okay to draw or lose to 0-1 or 1-2. I told him not to go in that direction. He told the players to focus only on the second game.

There was also a difference in the attitude toward the game, and I think this acted as a dent. Director Mourinho said,’Dinamo was humble, lustful, and motivated. They said they were trying to prove their talents to the global football market. Professionalism begins with attitude. To become a professional, you have to have that attitude in every game and every moment. There are talented players and insufficient players, but the attitude is that you can never compromise. And the other person analyzed that they have beaten us in attitude.

Among the Zagreb squad, Orsic, who scored three goals by himself, stood out. Director Mourinho raised his thumb at him while showing regret.

He said,’I don’t know if you believe it, but what I can tell you is, our players watched Orsic’s (previous) games. We prepared a video for Orsic’s scoring. All I can say is that the first, second, and third goals have all been seen before.

Meanwhile, Tottenham, who had won four consecutive games in the official game, recently won two consecutive victories. The atmosphere is desperate for a reversal.
