Lloris and Son fight was 'beautiful', claims Tottenham boss Mourinho

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho says the physical argument between Hugo Lloris and Heung-min Son during the 1-0 win against Everton on Monday was 'beautiful'. Lloris and Son had to be separated by team-mates Giovani Lo Celso and Harry Winks as the France goalkeeper aggressively confronted the South Korean attacker. Loris admitted post-match that his anger was sparked by a lack of pressing from his team-mates. When asked about his view on the incident, Mourinho said: "Beautiful. "It's probably the consequence of our meetings. If you want to blame somebody for that, it's me. I was critical of my boys because they are not, in my opinion, critical enough of themselves or each other. I've asked them to be more demanding. I've asked them to demand more from others. I asked them to put their colleagues and the pressure of that team spirit that you have to give everything for everybody. "It was a situation at the end of the first half where an amazing kid that everybody loves like Sonny, a team boy, but in that situation the captain thought he had to do more for the team, you have to give a different effort than you gave. "A couple of bad words, I'm not sure if there was a push or not, but it's something very important for the team to grow up because for a team to grow up you need to demand from each other, you need to be strong personalities. I was really pleased. At half-time I told them, when you had this reaction that I had no doubts that you would stick together until the end." Source: Goal
