Tottenham Hotspur players unhappy with Jose Mourinho and his training methods
According to The Athletic (h/t Mirror), Tottenham Hotspur players are starting to grow unhappy with the methods of manager Jose Mourinho amid speculations over his future.
Tottenham are on a torrid run of form in the Premier League that has seen them drop down to the ninth place in the standings following the 2-1 defeat to West Ham United at the weekend.
After the game, Mourinho was asked whether he felt his methods were outdated, to which he had defiantly replied that his schemes were second to none in the world.
“”No, not at all. Not at all. Zero. Sometimes the results are the consequence of multiple situations in football and mine and my coaching staff’s methods are second to nobody in the world.”
However, that feeling may not be reciprocated by his players if the aforementioned report is to be believed. It claims that the Tottenham stars are starting to become unhappy and frustrated over the manager’s training methods.
It further adds that the players are “bored and frustrated” by the manager’s training sessions, which are described as too defensive, too focused on the opposition and not as intense as they were under Mourinho’s predecessor Mauricio Pochettino.
Furthermore, the report also touches upon how Mourinho made the players defend against throw-ins in then lead-up to the crunch game against Liverpool which left the squad perplexed.
