The Portuguese boss Jose Mourinho made a rather difficult choice to make nine changes for Tottenham’s starting XI vs Antwerp.
Tottenham Hotspurβs boss Jose Mourinho expressed his happiness while admiring his squad power. As witnessed by all, the Portuguese tactician brought in significant changes to the club at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Evidently, during the summer transfer window, Mourinho updated his team list on major areas, defense and attack. Subsequently, the Spurs signed Carlos Vinicius from Benfica on a one-year loan. This turned out to be a big addition to the frontline full of star players.
Mourinho felt the need to have a prominent option for England international Harry Kane. And, he found the perfect man for an important job in the frontline of Tottenham.
Moreover, the most awaited return of Gareth Bale to his old club made things easy for the Portuguese manager.
Furthermore, the late signing of Joe Rodon now adds an elegant touch to the backline for Mourinho.
The Mourinho way.
And, the former Manchester United coach made nine changes to the starting lineup for the clash vs Royal Antwerp on Thursday. This opens up a number of possibilities for different players on the roster in the Europa League competition.
Mourinho told BT Sport: βI have lots of good players and the question here: is everyone motivated?
“Everyone wants to give everything for every minute theyβre on the pitch, showing frustration by not playing every match, but showing that in the right way and showing it in the right way is to perform on the pitch every minute you are there.
“Catch it with both hands and try to perform, so you could say itβs a risk to change so many players, I accept the risk because I trust the players and the squad.
“We are trying to play in a certain style, but itβs not always possible to do because our opponents can also relate to that.β
