Jose Mourinho has helped Tottenham become one of the hardest teams to play against this season.
The Special One has won the Premier League three times and he could add another one to that list with his current Tottenham team.
The former Chelsea manager has, however, been slammed for his team’s style of play this season even though it brings results.
Spurs beat Arsenal 2-0 in the Premier League at the weekend to remain top of the Premier League on goal difference from Liverpool.
That win was achieved with less than 35 per cent possession and it was reminiscent of Mourinho’s Chelsea team when he first became a manager in English football.
Critics have said that Spurs aren’t playing the most attractive football, some have even said their style is negative, but it has been bringing results and Mail Sport’s Adam Shergold has hailed him for his team’s masterclasses this season.
He praised them for winning tough games against the likes of Burnley and Manchester City.
He writes: “Not only are Spurs winning games on a regular basis – including against Manchester City and Arsenal in the past few weeks – but quite often they’re winning them in some style as well.
“There was evidence of that old Mourinho win-at-all-costs mettle in the slender victories over Burnley, Brighton and West Brom but there have been tactical masterclasses as well.
“Tottenham’s defence looks as resolute as a Mourinho defence always did and a manager whose ideas looked so stale and outdated not so long ago has rediscovered his joie de vivre.
“The sweetest moment so far, certainly for Mourinho, was that 6-1 demolition of his former club Manchester United at Old Trafford. Demons exorcised, they have pushed on.”
No smoke without fire,usually when a figure is mentioned it’s a possibility,they are interested in Sanchez maybe a swap would work for both parties.
As previously intimated my friend is an AC Milan/Arsenal supporter!
My close long time Italian friend who resides in Italy has just responded to me about our supposed link to AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie as follows:-
“Total nonsense.Ac Milan will never sell. They are building for the future avge age 22 last Sunday! and he is key!. Valuation at least £40m but climbing”
It is hard to watch, only in the sense that you’re worrying that if 2-0 becomes 2-1, can we still see out the result; or better still, revert to a more adventurous strategy. To say we’re not good to watch, or that Spurs fans won’t tolerate it for long, is at best lazy punditry, or worse, just having a go because we are Spurs. What’s not to enjoy at the moment? Going to work on a Monday morning is a lot more bearable right now. I know that much. COYS!
