Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho is not impressed with Carabao Cup officials. He says :”In relation to the EFL Cup, my initial feeling was when people don’t respect us, why should we respect the competition?”

In relation to testing and Covid and all this situation, there are so many contradictions that I don’t want to go into, this world of contradictions.

“I see so many contradictions, the way different countries react to it, the way football authorities in different countries react to it. There are so many contradictions that, honestly, I just do what I’m told to do. I don’t want to get into that.”
