Jose Mourinho Believes Low Self-Esteem Is Causing Tottenham Issues

Jose Mourinho chalked up Tottenham’s season struggles to a lack of confidence and self-esteem.

Spurs lost 1-0 to Brighton & Hove Albion last night at the back of a very passive display.

It was Graham Potter’s men who were dominating and looked like the better team.

“We’ve had five defeats in 30 matches so we can look at it in a different perspective,” the Tottenham boss told Sky Sports.

“Every team in the Premier League has these ups and these downs. Of course, now, we’re in a difficult moment with results, injuries and self-esteem. A team with confidence is much better than a team with sadness. At this time, we have all these problems which sooner or later will blow over.

“At the end of the season, we’ll see where we are in the league and with the cup games that we’re going to play.”

“I saw two different halves,” Mourinho added. “The first half, where I saw immediately we made two mistakes in a row. They hit the post from one, the other one was a goal. The boys felt too much the goal that we conceded in the first half. It was a sad half. In the second half, especially in the last 30 minutes, I saw a team with a different soul.

“I saw a team that was ready to give everything and was ready to gamble everything. To finish the way we did, probably the boys deserved more than what we got. The last feeling is usually the one that you take home, so I leave with positive feelings because my boys showed in the last 30 minutes that they wanted anything but a defeat.

We didn’t start well and my team was a bit sad. To concede a goal at the beginning of the game brought even more sadness, and knocked our self-esteem. The team was suffering but the second half saw a completely different attitude. We were trying everything and the spirit in the second half was good.

“Some individuals were suffering with fatigue, but they tried until the last second. A defeat brings always a bad feeling, and the performance wasn’t very good, but I leave with a positive feeling towards my boys.”
