Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho says he does not like 'sad people' after defeat

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has warned all his players that he does not like sad people after a defeat. According to reports, the Portuguese manager slept at the training ground after his team's narrow 2-1 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford, so that he could get up early to prepare for Tottenham's match against Burnley on November 7.

'I don't like sad people'

Mourinho said that he wants his players to understand and know that he does not like people who are sad in case they taste defeat at the hands of their rivals. He also said that he wants his players to get the message that the word 'defeat' does not exist in his dictionary, adding that being sad was not the option as they should be ready for the next match.

He also said that in a game of football whenever a team loses a match, there is another one to look forward to. Mourinho said that the defeat needs to be replaced with a win as matches can be replaced but people cannot. The Portuguese said that people need to move forward and learn from the mistakes they make.

He further added that defeat is not an empty word and said that accepting defeat is a learning process. Responding to a question Mourinho said that his team has the right attitude and added that it is his job to help them as they are amazing players.
