Jose Mourinho has said Liverpool forwards, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane probably had no clue who Japhet Tanganga was before yesterday’s game, but they know the youngster now.
According to Mou, he feels bad that the young player is not a striker and midfielder, but he remains a key addition to his squad.
He added that he is very good and has proven that he can play for Spurs.
His words, “The last thing I want to do after this performance is to speak about [buying new] players,”
“I think it is a way to show respect to these guys, not to speak about new players.
“Can we say Tanganga is a new player? He had never played a match for Tottenham in the Premier League. Today he played and today he proved that he can play for us.”
On Tanganga, “It’s a pity that he’s not a striker! It’s a pity that he’s not a midfield player, but he is one more player that we have,”
“I think Mane and Salah, they know who Tanganga is [now]. They didn’t know before the game.
“I think when they saw the list [of players], they thought, ‘Oh, what position does this guy play?’
“I think now they know. The kid was really good. So instead of speaking about, crying about Harry Kane and Sissoko and Lloris and Ben Davies, let’s smile with Tanganga.”
