Tottenham Hotspur star, Lucas Moura, has said that Spurs players believe in manager, Jose Mourinho, because of the Portuguese\u2019s history.
\nMoura said this on Monday after Tottenham defeated Aston Villa 2-0 in the Premier League on Sunday night.
\nMourinho is currently under intense pressure at Tottenham after the club\u2019s recent bad results.
\nTottenham was eliminated from the Europa League by Dinamo Zagreb last Thursday, and they were defeated 2-1 against Arsenal in a north London derby last week.
\nBut Moura believes the whole Tottenham squad are united behind Mourinho amid the club\u2019s turbulent 2020-21 campaign, adding that they want to be successful with their manager.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s been a very bad week for us, the feeling was very bad,\u201d Moura told the Evening Standard.
\n\u201cLast night, we showed our nature. We showed attitude.
\n\u201cThe good thing about football is you don\u2019t have time to cry. We talked about [the Dinamo] game. The manager told us a lot of things, but the kind of things we need to keep between us.
\n\u201cHe has a lot of experience, and he tried to motivate us, and it was very good for last night\u2019s game. Let\u2019s go. We have nine games to play, we have a final (the Carabao Cup), let\u2019s finish the season well.
\n\u201cWe are all together. We\u2019re in the same boat. We lose together. We win together. What happened in Croatia was our fault. Everyone included. When we\u2019re on the pitch, we just want to win.
\n\u201cWe know there are a lot of fans behind the TV supporting us. We play for our family, we play for pride, and we\u2019re all together. We believe in the coach. We believe in the coach because we know his history. We just want to be successful here.\u201d
