Jose Mourinho Defends Steven Bergwijn

DBasia.news – Tottenham Hotspur player Steven Bergwijn has been criticized for wasting an opportunity when his team faced Liverpool. Jose Mourinho put up his body to defend him.

Tottenham fell 1-2 against Liverpool in Week 13 of the Premier League at Anfield Stadium, Thursday (17/12/2020). Two goals from the Reds scored by Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino can only be answered by Son Heung-min’s goal.

Tottenham actually has a chance to win the match through Bergwijn’s golden opportunity in the second half. The Dutchman only had to face Alisson Becker twice, but none of his shot balls entered the Liverpool goal.

As a result, Steven Bergwijn harvested insults and insults from fans after the Liverpool vs Tottenham duel. The 23-year-old winger was afflicted by fans on social media, so he had to limit his Instagram interaction column.

The blasphemy and denunciation received by Bergwijn got a response from Jose Mourinho. The Tottenham manager emphatically expressed support for his player and continued to defend him from any criticism.

“I don’t know what I can do but remind the players that at this club, we are all together. We stay together when we lose, win and draw,” said Mourinho, quoted by the Daily Mail.

“He owns us and we have him. He’s one of my players, period,” Mourinho added.

“There is no point in me being individual. He is a professional and he gives everything he can for the team,” defended Jose Mourinho to Steven Bergwijn.
