Jose Mourinho sends warning to Tottenham flops after Antwerp defeat
Oct 30, 2020
Jose Mourinho says his future team selections will be very easy after making changes to his starting XI and watching his Tottenham side lose 1-0 to Royal Antwerp in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Spurs were a long way from their best as they were downed in Belgium thanks to a first half goal from Lior Refaelov.
The starting XI featured the likes of Gareth Bale , Hugo Lloris, Dele Alli and Harry Winks, but Tottenham were so poor in the first 45 minutes that Mourinho made four changes at half-time and then replaced Bale with Harry Kane in the second half to make his fifth.
The Portuguese said afterwards that he wished he could have changed the entire team at half time and suggested he will not be tinkering with his best XI as much in the future.
‘I would like to make 11 [changes]!’ Mourinho said after the match. ‘I didn’t make five as was afraid of a long 45 minutes. At half-time I tried to improve the situation but was not enough. Second half we improved. In the end Antwerp got what they deserved. The best team won and the worst team loss.
‘You know what our best team is. I always like to think the players deserve an opportunity.
‘We have a big squad. It’s also their opportunity to catch the chance with both hands and ask for more. Tonight my future choices are going to be very easy.’
