The Ball Boy Won The Game For Tottenham Vs Olympiacos – Mourinho

Spurs manager, Jose Mourinho has hailed the work of a brilliant ball boy that was vital in his team’s 4-2 win over Olympiacos in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Losing 2-0 after twenty minutes, Tottenham scored one goal before the 45th minute via Dele Alli and netted their equalizer in the 2nd half after some fast thinking on the sidelines.

As Tottenham pushed forward, Serge Aurier benefitted from a quick throw-in courtesy of a ball boy, and Moura got the ball, raced into the box to assist a stunning Harry Kane goal.

The equalizer inspired the players to get the win and Jose has hailed the ball boy, saying he decided the game.

His words, “I love intelligent ball boys like I was, and this kid today was brilliant,”

“He read the game, understands the game and made an important assist, an important moment for him and he will never forget it.

“The goal before half-time is important. I did not see it, I saw it later on the screen.

“When you are losing 2-0, if you are in control of the other result and you know a draw is enough to qualify then we can go for the draw in the second half and be pragmatic.”

“Look at the ball boy, outstanding! The distribution – unbelievable,”

“He will be signed in the morning that kid. That boy is probably from the academy…gets an opportunity and look at the pace of him to get that ball back.

“If I’m the Olympiacos coach, I’m strangling him after.”

On the win, “We have qualified for the next round, that is the important thing for all of us at the club and the fans,”

“It was hard, they are a good team, very well organised and they attacked our self esteem and self confidence.

“I did not expert our boys to feel this pressure at home and they have not had the best results in the last few months. It was a tough time, more than the changes or the tactical talk, I told them to keep calm, keep confident and believe in ourselves.”
