Mourinho wants new beginning for troubled Dele Alli

Tottenham Hotspur manager. Jose Mourinho has recommended a fresh start for midfielder Dele Alli after the collapse of his dream move to Paris Saint-Germain.

“He [Alli] needs to recover from his injury,” said Mourinho. He needs to get back to training and have a fresh start because in the last few weeks he couldn’t even join in training.

“I had a good conversation with him. We spoke around this question you asked me and I think we found common ground. It’s an important season for the team. It’s an important period of the season for him also. We need him. We need a good Dele Alli. We are waiting for him to be back to normality.

“It’s just not just Dele. When you look at Dele, [Harry] Kane, [Giovani] Lo Celso, we are speaking about players that without all three we miss some creation or some magic around the attacking areas so we need him back and I made that very sure to him.

“Of course a conversation doesn’t make miracles. It doesn’t put a player in great form without limitations in terms of fitness, but I believe the conversation was the extra motivation that he needed to be back as soon as possible and to become available for the team.

“We play Europe a League very soon, we are playing in the Premier League a couple of matches every week, we have the FA Cup, I don’t believe he will be on time for that one. We have a final to play in April so we need a good Dele back. And I believe that when physically he is ready I believe that mentally he will be in a good place to go for it.”
