According to Tottenham manager Jose Mourinh, the London team could think of winning a championship in many European countries. In the English league, which the Portuguese coach considers the most difficult in the world, but his charges have a much more difficult position due to the huge competition.
Tottenham won Sunday’s West Bromwich 1-0 with a goal from Harry Kane in the 88th minute, and after eight incomplete rounds of the Premier League, he is second in the table with a point loss to Leicester. “I would say this team could be a champion in many European countries,” Mourinho said at a press conference.
“The Premier League is the toughest possible competition. You can have a good season and get a lot of points, but in the end there are Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Leicester, Arsenal,” named a native of Setúbal.
Tottenham has won the English top competition twice, most recently in the 1960/61 season, when Mourinho was not yet born. “You don’t have to win a title even after a good season in the Premier League. So what can we do? We go from match to match, we try to win and we don’t care about the others. At the end of the season we will see how we do.” said the 57-year-old coach, who has been leading the Spurs since last November.
The London team has won all three league matches since the failed city derby with West Ham. In it, Tottenham lost a three-goal half home lead and drew 3: 3. “We’ve talked a lot about it and worked hard on it. But I’m not saying we won’t lose matches or lose points in the last minutes, it can happen to anyone. We’ve been in pain after West Ham and the team has been behaving strategically differently since then, “ Mourinho said.
“We have won three times in the last three rounds and kept a clean sheet twice. The team was very solid in the final five minutes. It looks like the pain has brought us something positive, we have improved.” added former coach of Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan or Manchester United.
