Jose Mourinho recalls his sister’s tragic death when praising Serge Aurier

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has praised Serge Aurier's character, following the club's 3 - 1 win over Newcastle United. Aurier asked to play on Wednesday night, 48 hours after his brother was shot dead in Toulouse earlier this week. And speaking about the defender, Mourinho has praised him, recalling his sister’s tragic death back in 1997. He told talkSPORT after the clash: "Everyone reacts differently to tragedies and Serge is a special person. I remember when my sister passed away and a couple of days later I had a match and wanted to be there. I knew that is what she wanted me to do and I think with Serge it is probably a similar feeling. I think now it’s time for him to turn the page and go to his mum and support his family."
