For Tanguy Ndombele, the arrival of Jos Mourinho instead of Mauricio Pochettino is not good news. Because with the Portuguese, nothing will be forgiven at the level of the state of mind.
The proof this week when the 23-year-old midfielder, absent during the victory against Brighton (2-1) Thursday in the Premier League, told his manager that he feared relapse.
The strange absence of Ndombele
I cannot say that he is injured, but I can say that he did not feel ready to start the match, which is not the same thing, explained the Portuguese. His package is not related to an injury, but the fear due to old injuries suffered since the start of the season. We already felt the technician annoyed by Ndombele’s decision. Besides, Mourinho put on a layer before facing Norwich this Saturday (6.30pm).
I think Ndombele was honest. I think players like to play football. And for them, to say I don’t feel like playing, I don’t feel confident with my physical condition or my old injuries , it’s just very honest, recognized the London coach. And we had solutions. We had Winks, Sissoko, Dier on the bench. Go see the training session and you will judge for yourself its condition. But I hope that tomorrow morning (this Saturday, note) after training, he will come to see me and tell me I am ready to help the team .
Mourinho’s messages
Knowing the character, the warning is not trivial. The former Manchester United coach likes players ready to sacrifice themselves, and does not hesitate to manhandle those who keep themselves. This is why Special One supported its message during its press conference on Friday. Especially when he incense the young middle Oliver Skipp (19 years old) fighting to progress . One would think again hearing him speak of Scott McTominay, the Mancunien that he had launched instead of a Paul Pogba judged little involved…
Mourinho could have stopped there, but no. The Spurs manager also complimented striker Erik Lamela, ready to replay as soon as he returns from injury. These are the kinds of things that touch me. I like players who make sacrifices for the team , he slipped, as if to pique the French international already criticized for his behavior Lyon. Established only once since the appointment of the new coach, the most expensive rookie in Tottenham history (€ 60 million + € 10 million bonus) has been of interest. Especially the approach of Euro 2020.
