seems like the players still don't get the don't drop back part. I feel that while bale isn't that quick or powerful anymore he brings a new optimism and stronger meteorology in the squad when he plays.
Spurs players thought Mourinho was ‘crazy’
Reflecting further on the timing of the goal they conceded, Mourinho shared an interesting anecdote from inside the dressing room.
He added: “I told them at half-time I was very happy with the goal we conceded.
They think I was crazy.
“It was proof to the players if you lose control and start dropping, they have one, two three crosses and it’s difficult to keep a clean sheet.
“That 1-1 put us in a position where we had to go forward. Because of the feeling of the first half, it was about 2-1, 3-1, and not 2-1 and drop back.
“I think I passed the feeling to the players. They were relaxed and optimistic.”
