Lucas Moura Reiterates Spurs’ Belief In Under-Fire Mourinho

Lucas Moura says Tottenham Hotspurs players are firmly behind manager Jose Mourinho after the club got back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.

Spurs rounded off a miserable week, which saw them lose to Arsenal in the North London derby and bow out of the Europa League to Dinamo Zagreb, with a win at Villa Park thanks to goals from Carlos Vinicius and Harry Kane.

Pressure had started to mount on Mourinho after Tottenham’s recent defeats but the victory over Dean Smith’s men has taken the North London outfit to within three points of fourth-placed Chelsea.

Tottenham will also contest the Carabao Cup final with Manchester City next month and Moura is adamant Mourinho retains the support of his players despite the recent bumps on the road.

“It’s been a very bad week for us, the feeling was very bad,” the Spurs winger told the Evening Standard. “Last night, we showed our nature, we showed attitude.

"The good thing about football is you don’t have time to cry. We talked about [the Dinamo] game. The manager told us a lot of things, but the kind of things we need to keep between us.

"He has a lot of experience and he tried to motivate us, and it was very good for last night’s game. Let’s go. We have nine games to play, we have a final (the Carabao Cup), let’s finish the season well.

“We are all together. We’re in the same boat. We lose together, we win together. What happened in Croatia was our fault. Everyone included. When we’re on the pitch, we just want to win.

"We know there are a lot of fans behind the TV supporting us. We play for our family, we play for pride and we’re all together. We believe in the coach. We believe in the coach because we know his history. We just want to be successful here.”
