The coach of Tottenham associates some attitudes of the Portuguese coach to the breach of performance of the player

Eric Dier is not making a brilliant season for Tottenham and Mauricio Pochettino thinks he knows the reasons for the loss of the English international. According to a testimony from the spurs coach to the Daily Mail, part of the blame lies in the approach of José Mourinho to the player.
The episode dates back to December last year, after a match between the London squad and Manchester United. "Mourinho and I had finished the quick interviews and Mourinho was at the entrance of the tunnel, waiting for the players." He nodded to Sissoko and gave Dier a hug. They passed me laughing, speaking Portuguese. , but he put Eric in a delicate position because it was just after a [Tottenham] defeat. He then told me about United's interest and I told him he was not leaving because he had signed a five-year deal "explained Pochettino, who, he reveals, has spoken regularly with the former Sporting, in order to recover his best form.

This season, Eric Dier leads 12 games played by Tottenham. He still did not score any goal.
