Tottenham captain, Son Heung-min, has recounted the time Jose Mourinho embarrassed him in front of other players, leaving him “so upset”.
Since 2015, Son has played in 408 fixtures for the north London side, scoring 162 goals.
The South Korean was also a talismanic figure during Mourinho’s time at Spurs.
Speaking in an interview with EAFC, Son said: “One time Mourinho told me off during the game. [He said] ‘I don’t think you want to be in a game with a team like Burnley or Stoke (rough game)’ in front of all the players and I was so upset about it, I’m not even an 18-19-year-old to be treated like that.
“Later after the match, the coach texted me, ‘I know you understand that it wasn’t my intention to target and hurt you. But I need to make sure that other players are not being lazy, and I need to show them by telling off the best player in the team, and for me, that player is you.’ And after reading that text, I feel good.”
