Tottenham manager Mourinho lauds Ndombele change: It was his responsibility | OneFootball

Jose Mourinho is 'really pleased' about Tanguy Ndombele's turnaround at Tottenham Hotspur.

The Frenchman scored a spectacular lob in the 3-1 win over Sheffield United on Monday.

Having struggled in his debut season, Ndombele has now become a favourite of his manager.

Mourinho said: "I coach for so many years, had so many players and I have enough experience to say and to feel that when a player is not playing very well, it's his responsibility, and when a play turns things around and brings his performance level to a very high level, it's also his responsibility.

"It's a great example that with me the door is always open. The door of the team is always open, and when a player is not playing he has to try to understand why and he has to try to understand how can he walk through that door. He understood, he understood.

"The goal is amazing, but I don't care about the goal, I care about the performance and the performance was magnificent and I'm really pleased that he's come to this level. He's playing very, very well."
