Jose Mourinho reckons Tottenham are turning into ‘intelligent c****’… like boss demanded in X-rated Amazon team talk


JOSE MOURINHO reckons Spurs are turning into the ‘intelligent c***s’ he wants them to be.

He turned the air blue in Tottenham’s fly-on-the-wall documentary last season.

And eight months on from his X-rated teamtalk, Mourinho is happy with their progress, saying: “We are improving as a team, that is not in doubt.

“The concept of what the team needs and the type of mentality we need in the team, which is something I have been very, very clear about, we are improving step by step.”

Tottenham have demonstrated perfectly their new ruthless, streetwise side in the last three Premier League games — a sensational run that took them to the top of the Premier League table.

Mourinho’s team have beaten Manchester City and Arsenal, and drawn with Chelsea, all without conceding a goal and with less than 40 per cent possession in each game.

The Special One was seen telling his players they were a ‘very nice group of guys’ who needed to become ‘intelligent c***s’ on the pitch.

The City win was hailed as a tactical masterclass but Graeme Souness and Jamie Redknapp, pundits for Mourinho’s former employers at Sky, criticised Tottenham for having a negative approach against bitter-rivals Arsenal.
Mourinho could not care less.

The Tottenham boss said: “I’m not going to be the pundit of the pundit.

“They are professional. I was a pundit but not professional.

“I was a pundit on my free time as a manager when I didn’t have a job.

“It was something I enjoyed and something that helped me to respect people’s opinions, so I’m not going to comment on that.”

Jose Mourinho says he prefers his benched players to leave the pitch after a number of them did exactly that
