Tottenham Hotspurs manager, Jose Mourinho has opened up on the touchline spat he had with Frank Lampard when his side saw Chelsea packing from the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.
The game was decided by penalties after its full time ended 1-1.
Chelsea’s new signing, Timo Werner, opened scoring for the Blues who controlled the pace in the first half.
Tottenham turned things around in the second half with Erik Lamela equalizing to send the game into penalty shootouts.
Mason Mount was the only player that lost his spot-kick thereby sending Tottenham into the next round of the competition.
Speaking after the game, Mourinho told Sky Sports: “With Frank, the most important thing is my feelings towards him rather than any words we exchanged… He always gave me everything he had as a player and I will never forget that.
“My feelings towards him will always be feelings of how much I owe him for how much of an incredible player and friend he was. The only thing I was telling him, just an opinion of an old coach to a young talented coach, which was when the players need us, it is when they are losing. When they are winning we don’t need to be the protagonists of the touchline, we need to be there when they are losing.
“In the last match when they were losing 3-0 [against West Brom] I felt really sorry for him because he was sad and quiet in his chair. In terms of football, I can’t teach him anything. He knows football, it is just an opinion, stay on the touchline when your team is losing and stay calm when your team is winning.”
