Jose Mourinho Tells His Unhappy Tottenham Players To Take A Hot Shower

Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur may be flying high in all competitions, but the Portuguese coach conceded that he is unable to keep all of his players happy with England forward Dele Alli not getting any minutes in their Europa League win on Thursday.

Spurs beat Antwerp 2-0 to seal top spot in their group but Alli was not one of the five substitutes used and midfielder Harry Winks, making a rare start, walked straight down the tunnel when he came off for Tanguy Ndombele in the second half.

“How can I keep them all happy? I don’t think they’re all happy at all, that’s the nature of football, I can no make miracles,” Mourinho told BT Sport.

“I told the players if they’re not subbed on just go for a hot shower,” the Portuguese said in reference to Winks.

“I told every player that left the pitch to go because when the weather is cold I prefer they go to the dressing room and have a shower,” Mourinho later clarified.

“Winks decided to go and I am happy with that because I am the one that told him to do it.”
