Jose Mourinho discusses Steve Bruce and Newcastle United ahead of clash

By Bruce Grove -

Ahead of Tottenham’s Premier League game against Newcastle United this weekend, Jose Mourinho has praised Steve Bruce’s side as well as opened up on his relationship with the former Manchester United legend.

Spurs will be looking for their second league win of the season in their third Premier League game, and they will want to avoid the type of upsetting loss they suffered in their first game at home against Everton.

Newcastle United made a fine start to the season by beating West Ham 2-0 away at the London Stadium.

But they lost their last league game at home to Brighton. Mourinho claims that Newcastle’s home loss to Brighton shows that teams, without their fans, have lost the home advantage because the away sides are more comfortable now.

On Bruce, he claimed that he has spoken with the former Manchester United player on a number of occasions in the past including when he had loan players under the Englishman’s watch and when he became Manchester United manager.

On Newcastle, he told Spurs’ official website: “They had a fantastic first victory away, playing well. They lost against Brighton, but Brighton is a team capable of hurting you. That’s the Premier League this season. We are going to have many of these unexpected results, and no public makes home and away not as important, the team that plays away probably feels more comfortable to fight for the points. It’s going to be difficult. Of course, they played Wednesday and changed all their team against Morecombe (Carabao Cup). For us, it’s a different story.”

On Steve Bruce: “He’s a guy I like very, very much since my arrival in England many years ago. I played against him so many times in different clubs, Steve with different clubs. I met him a few times outside match days. I spoke with him on the phone so many times because when he was at Villa, he had some of my players on loan. I spoke with him when I was United manager and he was of course an important former United captain. I like him very, very much.”
