Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily Podcast, Glenn Hoddle has shared how shocked he was by Jose Mourinho’s behaviour after Tottenham’s game against Liverpool earlier this week.
Mourinho allowed himself to get very worked up by Jurgen Klopp during the game, and he went on something of a bizarre tirade after the game, saying that the better team lost and that Klopp should be punished by the officials.
Hoddle believes that Mourinho let his emotions get the better of him on this occasion, and he’s explained that he was surprised by it because Mourinho is usually good at keeping himself together.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily Podcast, Kalvin Phillips has opened up on how he felt when Marcelo Bielsa told him that he wanted to play in a more defensive role.
The midfielder has certainly flourished since changing position, earning promotion with Leeds and becoming a fully-fledged England international before he’d even played a single minute in the Premier League, while also earning all sorts of praise from pundits.
However, despite becoming a brilliant defensive midfielder, the 25-year-old has said that he was quite disappointed that he was to be played in a deeper role.
