“They leave behind sweat, energy, and blood. In the end, they even leave tears of joy.”

These results make Jose Mourinhospeechless. According to him, what he felt was more than sadness.

Jose Mourinho did not deny this result would be disappointing for the supporters. The Special One can only apologize.

“I can only apologize to the supporters of Tottenham Hotspur. I hope they feel the same way as me,” said Mourinho.

“Today is a game of life or death and we die. In some other games, I have the same feeling. Until the last day of the season, we have to try to do our best.”
