Mourinhos scathing assessment of spurs star ndombele

I think you may be referring to José Mourinho's comments about Tanguy Ndombele, a French midfielder who plays for Tottenham Hotspur.

In an interview with Sky Sports in August 2020, Mourinho made some critical comments about Ndombele's performance and work rate. Here's a summary of what he said:

• "I think he's a player that needs to improve a lot. He needs to improve his physical condition, his endurance, his capacity to play with intensity for 90 minutes."
• "He's a player that needs to understand that he's not a player that can play 60 minutes and then stop. He needs to understand that he's a player that needs to play 90 minutes with intensity."
• "I think he's a player that needs to improve his decision-making, his vision, his creativity. He's a player that needs to improve his ability to create chances for his teammates."
• "I think he's a player that needs to understand that he's not a player that can just play with the ball at his feet and expect to create something. He needs to understand that he's a player that needs to work for the team, for his teammates, for the collective."

Mourinho's comments were seen as scathing by some, but it's worth noting that he was trying to motivate Ndombele to improve his performance and reach his full potential. Ndombele has since responded well to Mourinho's criticism and has been a key player for Tottenham Hotspur.
