He needs to win; with us, with England.”Mourinho was asked how important it was to keep Kane at Spurs. Spurs are already a different club. “Two males gained entry to the property and stole items of jewellery, including watches, before fleeing,” the Metropolitan Police said in a statement. It is the reason why Mauricio Pochettino, the most successful manager of Daniel Levy’s near 19-year chairmanship, is now out of work and why Mourinho has been tasked with finding the right buttons to press to reboot the players.Alli is one of the greatest challenges and, on the eve of Saturday’s trip to West Ham, Mourinho found himself discussing an old tweet that was supposed to have come from the player’s account. He just needs his team to bring him or to go with him to the next level. I met his mum, his dad, his agent. The fake tweet had Alli criticising Mourinho and saying he was glad he would never have to work with him.“When I changed from União de Leiria to Porto mid-season [in 2002], I’d played against Porto a couple of months earlier,” Mourinho says. His stint as one of their number was always likely to be temporary and now he is back where he most wants to be.

Before the game, Mourinho had a little pep talk for Dele Alli — “I asked him if he was Dele or Dele’s brother,” Mourinho says. I used to be in clubs that feared him.”Mourinho said several times that he did not need new signings, which is just as well as there is no budget for a January overhaul.
If it was true about Dele [and the tweet], I would be happy.”Mourinho was in richly entertaining form. “He told me he was Dele. It always tends to end in tears with Mourinho but can Spurs get a bounce out of him and some short- to medium-term cheer?Mourinho’s message was that it would be a process for him – on a micro level with Alli, for example, bringing “the real Dele back,” and, more broadly, with the implementation of a playing style that will seek to build on Pochettino’s foundations.“One thing is the end product, another is the moment you start,” Mourinho says.
