What Mourinho said after Spurs
You want to make the miracle of my team that played so well and strategically we were so, so, so, so good. You want to try and transform this press conference into a situation of ‘let’s blame the guy’.
You have to tell me what is the most important thing because I don’t know.
When I win matches I come here many times and you are not happy that I won matches and you say the most important thing is the way of playing. [Reporter tries to interject] No, no, no. You have to make a decision in relation to that.
I need to know from you what is the most important thing if it is is to play well or win matches? If it is to play offensively or for a certain result. Today we were aggressive, we press high, Tottenham couldn’t make two passes coming from the back, they made lots of mistakes because of our pressure high.
We project the full-backs, we had Valencia and Luke Shaw arriving in dangerous positions, we miss goals with an open goal, we miss chances, we were unlucky in rebounds in both goals.
