Jose Mourinho analogy on Son Heung-min's injury

Son Heung-min, who scored the winning goal against Aston Villa recently, suffered a fractured arm and could likely to miss rest of the season. Jose Mourinho, while speaking at a press conference was quoted as saying to a leading news agency: "You know I like analogies, when we arrived, we were in minus 12 floor, we got on the stairs and we started climbing. But immediately, in the beginning, the stairs broke and trouble. We were trying to find a way lots of effort but we were going and going".

"Then 11th floor and when we arrived on the fourth floor, where we wanted to arrive, someone took the stairs away so we are now in trouble. We are holding by our arms on the balcony. Now we have two options to fall and die because it's the fourth floor and the other is to climb. We will be on that balcony fighting with everything we have".
