An original excuse: Mourinho explained why he left the match
José Mourinho left before the final whistle of Tottenham-Newcastle. In the press conference, he explained why he decided to leave with the match still in play.
After the 1-1 draw against Newcastle, José Mourinho explained why he went to the changing rooms before the final whistle of the Premier League match.
The Tottenham coach surprised everyone with his answer: "All I know is that I have more experience than Nuno and I left the tunnel when the referee blew the final whistle".
The press had asked the Portuguese manager this because he left the field in the 95th minute, just as a penalty was given against his team: "I know that in other clubs' matches, even after the final whistle, important things can happen".
"But I know that doesn't happen to us, that the game was over, so after the whistle I went to the locker room. Nuno is a little bit more innocent than me and he stayed," said Mourinho.
