Jose Mourinho's thoughts on his Tottenham players.

A thread.

#THFC #COYS

Harry Kane:

“There are so many top scorers in the world who score goals but the day they don't their performance is always poor because they give nothing. This is the guy who if he doesn't his performance is good. He presses, recovers balls, holds the ball, assists, drops back."

Lucas Moura:

"He's playing fantastic, he's working incredible. I have a good feeling, I think I am bringing him to a certain level of confidence, of work rate, of commitment to the team, of responsibility that with the talent he always had."

Heung-min Son:

"I am in love with that guy, so I imagine the people that are here with him four or five years. Fantastic boy."

Steven Bergwijn:

"You can easily find his qualities. I think he's a player for the future of the club, he's a young boy. A player that I think sooner or later the fans are going to love."

Erik Lamela:

"I like him a lot, since the moment when he was training just for two days and he told me he would help the team as best as he could before the Brighton game."

"That’s Lamela. Amazing guy, fantastic player and trying to help the team."

Dele Alli:

"Dele, I don’t need to speak about. The best thing that can happen to a coach is when you don’t need to speak about a player because everybody speaks, all of you, fans, everybody speaks about him and speaks about him for the right reasons."

Ryan Sessegnon:

"I think Ryan is absolutely fantastic, I have known him since a kid in Fulham. I think in this moment he is a winger on the left, can also play on the right, can learn progressively and even developing physically, which he is doing."

Gio Lo Celso:

"With his work, with his quality, with his personality, I think now he can play everywhere. He can play number 10, number 8, double midfield player with Winks. He can play on the right side, on the left. I am so, so happy with him. I like him very, very much."

Gedson Fernandes:

"Young player, yes, just arrived in a new country, yes, but at the same time has experience of playing for a big club. Has played already big matches in the UCL. Europa League quarter-finals, so he’s used to a high level of stress, pressure, responsibility."

Oliver Skipp:

"Phenomenal. Very, very good. Very, very good, solid performance. He was always in control of the game. We could see the difference also on the physical condition of him and the people playing all the time."

Tanguy Ndombele:

"Tanguy can play as a six, as an eight, as a double. He is a player with a lot of quality, he just needs to be physically strong and mentally adapted to the Premier League. He's a fantastic talent so we are happy that he can help us."

Moussa Sissoko:

"It is a great feeling, it is the best feeling a player can have is at home to have his fans with him, amazing song, beautiful really. I was singing along, or trying to and it is fantastic for him."

Harry Winks:

"Winks is improving a lot, a lot. He thinks much more forward than before. Even in the area of his movement, he was a lot more positional than he is now. Now you can see him on the left and the right trying to do that."

Eric Dier:

"Did I find the player that I expected? I found a player that was not playing. I found a sad player, a player without confidence, and then I was trying to give him that confidence back. I was always happy with his personality. He is really a team player."

Jan Vertonghen:

"He is a fantastic professional. A fantastic professional. I can only say good thing, not one bad thing."
