Jose Mourinho reveals what he couldn't work on with Tottenham

Jose Mourinho has admitted that he's not been able to work on everything that he wanted to at Tottenham due to the club's intense schedule. Spurs suffered their first defeat under Jose Mourinho in the match against Manchester United on Wednesday. The Red Devils won thanks to Marcus Rashford’s double goals and before their second one, Dele Alli had equalized the score, however, Spurs couldn’t manage to get any points from the game. The Portuguese manager has opened up about Spurs intense schedule: “You cannot work on intensity when you are permanently playing matches every two to three days,” Mourinho said. “You can work on other things, you can work on principles of play, you work on tactical positioning, but intensity, aggression is something you cannot work on. How can I work on these items of the game when I have to play Saturday again. I just can't do it. So it's has to be in time and try to influence the profile of the players and their concentration levels too, because today the throw-in is a total lack of concentration too. The team only reacted after Rashford had the ball and after he started facing the first defending. That was when we started reacting and before that is why we were not there. We need to work on concentration levels but the players are fantastic. Very good players, very good professionals. They want and they will.” After Wednesday's loss Spurs are now in the 8th place in the Premier League table with 20 points in total. Source- HITC
