Spurs Stadium Can Become A Fortress, Says Mourinho

Spurs Stadium Can Become A Fortress, Says Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has insisted that the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium can be turned into a fortress.

The Portuguese manager knows what it takes to turn stadiums into an impregnable fortress, having done that in his previous clubs, particularly Chelsea.

Mourinho went 77 games unbeaten across two spells at Stamford Bridge.

Spurs are unbeaten at home since the campaign resumed, recording four wins and a draw, and the former Inter Milan and Real Madrid boss is optimistic of the North Londoners turning their home ground into a fortress.

Ahead of Tottenham’s final game of the season against Crystal Palace, Mourinho said he wants to build a fortress but insists he prefers the fans to be with them in doing so.

"I think so," he said when he was asked if Tottenham can be unbeatable at home.

"But we need to do it with the fans. Without them you can create a kind of fortress, but based on the tactical side of the game.”

"But, I think with fans, you can do it in a much stronger way because you add the emotional side of the game that only your fans in your stadium can give to you."

Despite Mourinho’s wish to go unbeaten at home, he admitted it will not be easy to achieve it as he thinks teams are now stronger.

"I think the Premier League is getting into a direction where these unbeaten records are something more and more difficult to achieve because of the level of the teams," he added.

"But to be strong at home and to arrive at the end of each season with an important number of points in your pocket from home matches is very important.

"I think our recent results at home without the fans are important, but we need them back.”

“I can imagine that victory against Arsenal with the stadium full of Tottenham fans. This is the kind of empathy that you can create step by step.”
