"I’m not as confident and motivated as I am"- Jose Mourinho on facing Liverpool, transfers and Kane injury

Jose Mourinho has talked about Tottenham's upcoming clash with Liverpool, transfers and team's talisman Harry Kane's injury in his recent press conference. When asked about facing Liverpool on Saturday Spurs boss said: “We have injuries but again if I think about the injuries, who is not playing, I’m not as confident and motivated as I am so I have to focus on what we did in the week, concentrate on the effort and enthusiasm the boys put in this week and the motivation you must have to play against the best teams. "We are playing against the beat teams. You are confident or not confident. If you are not confident it’s better to stay at home. If you’re confident it’s not going to be easy but if you’re confident you’re going with everything that you have and that’s what I want the boys to do, go with everything we have.” Speaking on Harry Kane injury, as he was confirmed to undergo a surgery and will not return until April, Mourinho said: “That’s life, that’s football. Of course, bad news but we have to be positive and look to the good news. Good news is that before the end of the month we have two new players, Lloris and Ben Davies. This is good news. Lloris never played a game for me, Ben played one, and very, very well in a system we were trying to develop which was only possible with him because he’s the one left-back that can play in that inside position because Danny Rose is a pure left-back, Jan Vertonghen is not a left-back and Ryan Sessegnon is learning how to be a left-back. So Ben is very important for our project. So it’s good news. “Of course Harry is important, irreplaceable. There’s no player who can replace Hary Kane, and Moussa is playing so, so well with us. I think, since I arrived one of our best performers. It’s not a couple of weeks until they’re back. It’s surgery, and a long, long time. I never spoke about Lloris in my first two months here and if you allow me, I would like not to speak about Harry Kane and Moussa Sissoko until they’re back. Let’s try to spoke everything about them today because I know you’re desperate to speak about them.” And when asked on whether he has given Daniel Levy a list of transfer targets, the Portuguese replied: “No, no, no, this isn’t about a list of players. January is a strange market, it’s not an easy market to be in. It’s a market of opportunity a market where an opportunity arise and you have the conditions to do it or you not to do it. We have to be calm and not think about the market – let the market think about us.” Mourinho also reflected on Roy Hodgson admitting Crystal Palace are working hard to get Kyle Walker-Peters: “If Mr Roy said that I am not going to deny,"- he said.  "But I don’t know, of course I believe in him and if he believes that it is because Crystal Palace are trying to do it, working on it and I will wait for news coming from my boss. It is good to know that Mr Roy is open about it and doesn’t try to hide, so if they have that objective of course I will be informed by my people.” Source- football.london
