Jose Mourinho hails Dele Alli impact after first game as Tottenham manager

Jose Mourinho commended Dele Alli but said ahard week took its toll on his own Spurs players within their 3-2 win at West Ham.
Alli played a significant role in Mourinhos first win as Tottenham head coach, while the group practically blew a 3-0 lead after two goals in the hosts left them dangling on at the London Stadium, having come in for criticism earlier in the summer season.
But after securing their first away league win as January, Mourinho said he was pleased to be about a room that was dressing as Spurs picked up three points from the Premier League for the first time in two months.
It was really very, very significant, he explained. Eleven months without audio at the dressing room. Without a smile, with no happiness, and they failed this all. I am quite pleased with them, I am quite pleased for them.
It had been very tricky for us to acquire but my feeling is that we were nearer to 4-0 than West Ham were to 3-1 however that is actually the Premier League and also their first aim changed things a little bit. I think my gamers paid a little bit the cost for a week that is very, very difficult.
It was a week in which they arrived back by their national teams, some of these from hard matches, a number of them from traveling , to a change of supervisor, and a brand new man arrives. New ideas, new training sessions.
The psychological thing that encircles that, I dont think is simple for a soccer player. They work with a coaching staff and the next day other men and women are there. Its difficult to procedure
Alli than played his part in the London Stadium, making Heung-Min Sons opening goal and played a part also.
It abandoned Mourinho, who said hed talked to Alli to try and boost his confidence, waxing lyrical about the midfielder.
He explained:I think Dele was similar to the group. Brilliant for 60 to 65 minutes and he paid the price of the tiredness so that he went a tiny bit down. But I think he had been the Dele Alli. The Dele Alli of a couple of years not only the entire world although England.
He did exactly what I needed him to do. In just two days of some action, work and information. I attempted to make it clear for him the distances where we wanted him defensively , offensively and to perform. Football player to understand what we needed and quite critical for the team. Very pleased with his performance.
Defeat for West Ham made it eight Premier League games in the Premier League without a win for Manuel Pellegrinis side, dropping them farther and contributing during the next half.
The manager refused to be drawn on the operation of goalkeeper Roberto, who could have performed better with just two of Spurs three targets on the day on the rear of a number of bad performances, but confessed the pressure was becoming into his players because of their streak of form.
If asked what their biggest problem had been, he explained:The first thing is that we are playing under huge pressure. We all know we havent got the results we desired, particularly. This was a special game against Tottenham and also we desired to do it better. We couldnt.
I think that the group never gave up until the finish. We strove to draw but a lot of mistakes are being done by us, particularly with no ball, and each time when defending that we make a mistake, it is a goal.
The director and the players possess the chance to play nicely, both have the option to win games and have good outcomes, which means that you cannot separate one from the other.
We will need to attempt to win another game. When we were winning matches, the press asked me the same question – where are you planning to finish this year? You try to win the next game and see where you arrive at when the year ends.
