DBasia.news – Tottenham Hotspur manager, Jose Mourinho, continued to lose when meeting with RB Leipzig in the second leg of the Champions League top 16, Wednesday (11/03) AM. This result also produced the worst record during his coaching career.
During the last six matches, Tottenham still experienced a fasting victory, with four wins and two draws against Leipzig in the first leg of the top Champions League (0-1), Chelsea (1-2), Wolverhampton Wanderers (2-3) , Norwich (2-3 on penalties), and Burnley (1-1).
“Listen, of course I was positive yesterday, that I must always do. If you are not positive, it’s better not to come to the match,” Mourinho stressed after the match as quoted by BBC Sport.
According to Opta’s record, Mourinho’s bad record repeats the worst moment in the 2013 Champions League when Real Madrid were beaten 1-4 by Borussia Dortmund. Jose Mourinho has played 935 matches during his time as manager and has never experienced six games in a row without a win.
The 57-year-old manager admitted that RB Leipzig excelled in everything. In addition, one reason why the performance of his players decreased was that some of the Tottenham players had to be absent due to injuryies.
“Physically the RB Leipzig players are outstanding, their defenders always won duels, they stopped the fight. They attack quickly. They make us suffer all the time, they deserve to qualify for the quarter-finals,” added Mourinho.
Currently, Mourinho’s big name will be at stake again in the Premier League weekend. Later Tottenham will meet with Manchester United who are in a good moment on Sunday (3/15) PM.
Tottenham are now ranked eighth with a collection of 41 points from 29 matches in the Premier League standings. They are still seven points adrift of Chelsea who occupy fourth place and four points from Manchester United who are in fifth.
