Mourinho admits Liverpool clash test of Spurs mentality: We must not hide | OneFootball

Tottenham boss Joe Mourinho says tonight's top of the table clash at Liverpool will be a test of his players' mentality.

Mourinho has told his players exactly what they need to win the title this season and become champions.

He said, “Other teams they are afraid of the big matches, they don't perform, they hide themselves, they lose against the big opponents but in the smaller games they feel less pressure and they perform better. Both of this profile of team cannot be champions.

“To be champions you have to be there match after match, point after point. If you cannot get three, you get one. It's about the quality of the team but also of the resilience of the group.

“It's very important the mentality of every player because in different moments some players are playing more than others and the ones that in one moment aren't playing they have to understand they are important and the moment will arrive for them to become very important.

“You cannot have fractures in the internal dynamic of the group. So to be a successful team you need all these things to be together. So it's difficult for me to identify why Chelsea was champions or while Liverpool are now so successful. It's a series of factors that create that dynamic."
