Jose Mourinho speaks out on if Tottenham will NOT take FA Cup seriously
Tottenham head Jose Mourinho says they’re not going to treat to FA Cup in a different way.
Portuguese says the team will be as serious as in the Premier League.
Tottenham will ace Southampton in the 4th round of the FA Cup. Jose has lost to Saints back on New Years day.
"It's just a game. I don't even want to think about the competition. If it was Southampton away in the Premier League it would be exactly the same for me. Nothing changes.” Mourinho said (via Sky Sports)
"In the FA Cup, let's see. In this moment there are 32 teams, let's try to be in the last 16.
"[Southampton] are really good, they are strong. I expect a team 24 hours fresher than another, because they have 24 hours advantage (playing a day earlier than Spurs in midweek).
"A team with big self-esteem, big confidence and a very difficult team to play against. It's going to be hard.
"We have to fight against so many things we cannot control. The only thing we can control is the spirit that the players showed (against Norwich). We are going to try."
Tottenham and Southampton will meet on Saturday.
