All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur (2020) s01e02 Episode Script

1
Testing one, two, three.
Testing one, two, three.
There's a lot of foreign media there.
The key points we're looking at here
is a simple question about,
"Is top four a possibility?"
This is a theme
of every press conference this season,
but it's the uncertainty
of certain players in the squad.
Whether it's Christian, Toby, Jan,
'cos they all have
less than a year left on their contract.
The Chelsea stuff.
The reaction of Spurs fans
to having a Chelsea legend here.
But it's the second point of,
"How do you think Chelsea fans
will react to you?"
Some of them will feel
it's a bit of a betrayal.
The betrayal is that
I won three leagues and they sacked me.
And some of the problems
you will encounter here,
players running out of contract,
like Alderweireld, Vertonghen and Eriksen.
It's too early. Early days.
Second day.
Spurs fans know you as Mr. Chelsea.
What are you gonna do
to get them on side and win them over?
No, I think they have to
see me as Mr. Inter,
Mr. Real Madrid, Mr. Porto.
I think they have to see me as Mr. Club.
José, four years ago,
when you were at Chelsea,
you were asked if you would ever
come to Spurs, you said,
"Never, I love the Chelsea fans too much."
What's changed?
I was sacked.
A new era begins for Tottenham Hotspur.
The most important thing:
Courage.
Honesty.
Family.
Listen to Tottenham Hotspur's stadium now.
Let's go together, boys.
Come on.
Come on.
You are confident,
you finish confident.
You just have to play, play, play.
Come on.
A new era begins for
Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon.
Today is a historic occasion,
Mourinho's first game,
a London derby.
Winks! Dele! Yes!
OK.
Kane will breathe
down the neck of Diop.
Dele Alli.
Son.
Let’s fucking go.
Let’s go - that’s one.
Come on.
The first goal of the José Mourinho era
has been scored by Heung-Min Son.
Son, delightful flick.
Dier.
Dele Alli.
Oh, how well has he done there!
Son with Lucas Moura in the middle.
And Spurs lead two-nil.
Goal, there you fucking go.
In at the far post.
Dele, you, you man.
How about this from Dele Alli?
Oh, wow!
Dele, your goal. Your goal.
That's the end of the first half.
Half the job, boys.
Let's go, come on.
This shit is not over.
Two-zero in the Premier League
is not the result.
Until now, we practically
didn't have set-pieces against.
Maybe we are going to have.
Very, very important,
every set-piece against us
is a moment of fear.
And you resolve that moment of fear
with concentration, with communication.
You are not going to concede
a fucking goal in a set-piece.
As with the ball,
I can only say amazing.
The goals were amazing.
The understanding
of the situation was good.
I can say two things.
One is, if we don't concede goals,
we take three points home.
And that's the basic thing.
Are we going to play two-zero
not to concede goals?
No.
We are going to not concede goals,
but we are playing to kill the game
and to play and to score more goals.
Kill the game.
Two-zero, in England, minute 85,
two-zero is not over.
It's not over.
Winks.
Aurier.
Swept in by Aurier. Great ball.
Kane!
It's only the second time
I get a job mid-season,
but one thing is for sure,
when this happens
it's because the team
is not doing well.
It's because the team has problems.
Still going here. Antonio!
And problems, you don't resolve them
in one week, in one month.
I wonder if Ben Davies
was hurt making that challenge.
West Ham two, Spurs three.
There is the full time whistle.
José Mourinho is a serial winner.
No surprise, he begins
his Spurs reign with a victory.
But I knew that was a team
without a victory away for about a year.
So I know that to win the first game
was very important for the boys.
And it was very important for me.
Away. Three points. Away!
This win moves Spurs
into the top half of the table.
They now sit nine points behind
the top four place they are chasing.
Oh, my God!
- Oh, who's trainers are they?
- They're José Mourinho's.
Yep.
I say something
Oh, my God.
Right-back Serge Aurier has recently
become a regular first-team player,
but the arrival of José means
he's got to prove himself again.
When the new manager came in,
everyone was excited
because he's a winner.
He wants the players to give everything
because in this world,
when you are not a winner,
you are nothing, you know.
We just teach him
basic manners like,
he said, "Give me my jacket."
No, it's not "Give me"
"Can you please get my jacket?"
Good, you're learning.
It's cold, man.
It's hard for me because Manchester
was sunny every day and warm.
What is that, Serge?
What the fuck is that?
- It’s personal.
- It’s personal?
I think people know that
I am very demanding, very professional.
When you arrive,
everybody deserves a chance,
and for them it's about
learning how to work with me,
for me to learn
how to work with them.
Wait, wait!
Yes, Eric. Yes, Eric.
And turn, faster on the ball.
Distance between you two.
I have to show the players
the person I am, the manager I am.
You know, the future
is more important than the past.
One, cover, go, cover and press.
And win the ball. Much better.
OK.
José is being given
a tour of Lilywhite House
where the majority of the club's
600 employees are based.
Good morning. How are you, sir?
Are you happy
to have selfies with staff?
Finance team,
here's our new manager.
I love you.
Super important, HR team.
Oh, dangerous.
- Hello, hello.
- This is the I.T. crew.
- These guys work all day, all night.
- Without I.T. nothing works.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Father and son.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Double trouble.
- He's the father?
- Yes.
Anyone else?
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Nice to meet you.
See you next time.
See you, guys.
You're always welcome.
Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium
has been open for eight months.
It's been built on the same site
as the original, White Hart Lane.
I go to clubs
where I don't have any connection.
Before I arrive
and when I arrive, I belong.
The stadium is incredible.
The connection with the fan base,
I was immediately in love.
The stadium is situated in
one of the poorest areas of London.
The club is incredibly important
to the local community.
We care passionately about the area
and how we can as a club help
regenerate this part of North London.
We want to be a club
that is known as a caring club.
Certainly, from a personal viewpoint,
I care about making a difference.
Tottenham makes sure
that every first team player
has regular commitments
in the community.
Today, Serge Aurier,
is visiting a local school.
The stadium is in the street,
and I like this
because for the Tottenham people,
it's very, very positive.
For young guys,
they see this stadium every day.
I think it's a dream.
Before becoming
a professional footballer,
Serge grew up in
one of the toughest suburbs of Paris.
Where I come from
is very, very dangerous.
It's not good for the kids, you know.
Too many friends go to prison.
Maybe, I follow this way, you know.
And sometimes
when I'm back in my city
Yeah, we talk about this,
and I'm lucky. I'm lucky.
Serge has come to
Riverside Secondary Special School
in Wood Green, which teaches children
with learning difficulties.
Hi, how are you?
- Have you got time for one more?
- Let's go.
My mum would be so proud.
Come, come, come.
When I was young,
I liked when the professional player
come to play with me.
And I remember, I don't forget.
I know it's the best moment for the kid.
Yes, my boy.
People think, "This professional,
he plays in a big stadium,
he has too much money,
and it's easy."
No, it's not easy.
Don't forget before.
Before it was very,
very difficult for me.
If you want to play with me,
you need to work.
Yeah?
This is the key.
Working, working, working.
You go this way or this way.
And you choose
what is the best for you.
I think I follow the best way.
Let's go.
José's next game is in three days,
a Champions League match
against Olympiacos.
The team that has one player more
has to press more,
has to be more aggressive
in the pressure,
has to try to have more of the ball.
Keep going! Come on!
Along with his new assistant coach,
Joao Sacramento,
he'll use this time to analyse his squad.
Me, my staff we analyse the team.
We know what we can do
to improve them,
trying to give them that feeling
of we believe in you,
and we are going to achieve
very, very good things.
To sign players better than Lucas,
Kane, Son and Alli is very hard.
Now, without Davies as left back,
it’s better to play with a guy like Dier
that stays there giving a bit more.
Because Sissoko likes to attack.
Dier plays, knows how to play
and he steals balls.
The guy is really a good player,
isn’t he?
My biggest José Mourinho memory is
I was a Man United fan as a kid,
and when Porto knocked
Man United out
of the Champions League,
he made me cry.
Last game of three per table.
One-one.
Growing up in Portugal,
it's a football-mad country, you know.
He's obviously very well known
from when he managed Porto.
So, it's very special to play for him.
During his time at Sporting Lisbon,
midfielder, Eric Dier,
caught José's eye.
I think it's public knowledge
that in the past he tried to sign me.
So I think it's a manager that
hopefully believes in me
and wants to try and help me.
José has called Eric into his office
to understand why
he hadn't been making
the starting line-up
under Mauricio Pochettino.
-What happened? Honestly.
- With me?
- For you to stop playing?
I’m asking because
it’s easier for me to ask you
and hear your opinion
than me trying to guess
the reason why not.
I don’t know.
It was always tricky with injuries.
The gaffer, he wants you to do
recovery for a long time.
With anyone he is like that.
With him it’s hard to
get back in the team?
At the time, I went to talk
to him and said,
"Gaffer, either I’m part
of your plans or not,
and if not, I’ll have to go away,
go somewhere else."
This season has been complicated
since the beginning for everyone, right?
Yes, exactly, for everyone.
I’m going to give you my opinion.
Very simply, I, as you know,
I like you as a player
or I wouldn’t have tried to sign you.
I think that
now I’ve arrived
you can be sad that your gaffer left.
It’s normal, but I think
it can be good for you.
We agree.
Thanks gaffer.
See you later.
José's first home game will be against
Greek side, Olympiacos.
If the team want to continue their run
in the lucrative Champions League,
it's a must win.
We haven't won an F.A. Cup since '91.
We haven't won
a European trophy since '84.
We haven't won a League Cup since 2008.
We haven't won a League since 1961.
We are way, way overdue winning a trophy.
And this is why Mourinho is in town.
Not everyone has the privilege
to be a Champions League winner,
which I was happy enough to do it twice.
Spurs last season, just the fact to reach
the final is an amazing achievement.
But it's not history.
History is winning.
Has he still got it?
Does he have the hunger?
Does he have the energy?
He had it when he first went to Chelsea.
Does he have it now?
I want to win matches.
I want to play well.
I want the players happy.
I want the fans happy.
That's the ultimate thing.
Since I was a kid,
playing two against two with friends
in the street in front of my house,
you are not playing
that two against two just for fun.
You want to win against your best mates.
And football is
For me football is
is about
is about trying to win.
Nothing can replace the feeling of
playing football at this level.
Well, I haven't yet found it
anywhere else in life.
Put it that way.
The pressure is so enjoyable.
It's like an addiction.
No need to speak about
the importance of the game.
I think you all know.
We win the game, we qualify.
And we have to do it for that.
But not just for that.
Independent of that
We have to win.
We have to play well.
We have to improve.
We have to keep improving.
And we have to build a good momentum
that will affect us for
Champions League,
but especially for Premier League.
And Serge,
you are going to be one of the markers.
Do you speak good English?
I am afraid of you as a marker
because you are capable of
giving a shit penalty with VAR.
So I'm telling already
that I am afraid of you.
Yesterday and today,
we focused on the defensive side.
This is what you have to keep going today.
The same.
The same dynamic and the same intensity.
But a part of that is play.
Play, play, play!
Feel free to play.
Feel happy to play.
Come on, we start strong.
We don't give them time.
Don't give them time.
Go strong, go strong.
They have to feel they have no chance.
Don't sleep.
Don't give them a chance.
Come on, then.
Everyone in.
At the moment,
they have a little bit of hope to qualify.
We kill that minute one.
We press. We're aggressive.
Fucking chances, goals.
And we fucking kill them.
We fucking qualify today.
We fucking qualify!
Oh, if the Spurs come marching in,
oh, if the Spurs come marching
This tonight
is a big night for José Mourinho
Here's a chance
for El-Arabi to hit one.
He has hit it well, hasn't he!
It's an early goal for Olympiacos.
And it just makes Tottenham's task
to qualify for the last 16 tonight
a bit more difficult.
It all seems a bit edgy,
defensively.
There's a lot of fear in there
for some reason.
Just look at this foul here
from Eric Dier.
Little flick by Guilherme.
And that's two-nil.
Just 29 minutes into the game,
José has seen enough.
He makes a big call,
a first-half substitution,
replacing Eric Dier
with Christian Eriksen.
Time will tell whether
it's tactical genius or early panic.
It's Aurier with the cross
Oh, he's missed it!
Well, the man we're praising, Meriah,
makes a total mess of the clearance,
and Dele Alli scores.
There's the half-time whistle.
It'll be
a fascinating 15 minutes for Mourinho
to see if he can sort
this Tottenham Hotspur mess out.
Sorry, boys.
Keep going, lads. Come on.
Loads of time.
A lot of space, boys.
If you clear one side
First of all
Calm.
Calm.
Lots of mistakes.
Nervous.
Bit disturbed.
Panic.
Corner. Panic.
Ball in the box. Panic.
Calm.
Calm.
It's impossible impossible
that we are going to play
as bad as we did in this first half.
Impossible.
I told before the game,
anything that can happen
in the game can not affect you.
But it did affect you.
In midfield it was not just Eric,
It's not Eric.
It was Eric. It was Winks.
It was Dele.
Almost everybody.
Of course,
we want to start the second half,
and we want to go
and to kill and to score.
But if it doesn't happen
on minute one,
two, three, four, five,
nothing can affect you.
The confidence levels,
they have to be better.
Now,
we need to be more aggressive
in the way we press them up.
With the ball,
this is very important,
that Serge goes forward and wide.
Attack the ball.
Press the man. Bring the lines up.
And we have to do it.
When Serge has the ball,
Son, go to the box,
don't stay wide.
In the last, when Serge
receives the ball over here,
you need to be on the box.
Come on, lads.
The problem is that when I push forward
when I have the ball, no one is there
and I can go forty metres.
Erik Eriksen, he'll be there.
OK?
If your self-esteem goes higher,
if your confidence goes higher,
no problem, no problem.
We concede a goal and we panicked,
and in here it looked like
you were going down.
Don't let it go down.
Don't let it go down.
Come on!
Well, it's not gone quite according
to José's plan in the first half.
Will it be different in the second?
For the second half,
José Mourinho has encouraged
defender Serge Aurier to join the attack.
An alert ball boy
allows the quick throw-in.
Lucas Moura pulls it back
And Harry Kane delivers!
Well, it's the perfect response
from Tottenham Hotspur.
Doesn't even look at it.
The ball boy, he's out sharp.
- Oh, he's ready.
- He's out sharp.
A top finish from a top striker.
There's the love.
Dele Alli.
Aurier. Oh, what about that!
And it's an unlikely hero, Serge Aurier,
with a goal to put them ahead.
Absolutely pure.
Kane the target.
Clinical finisher.
Four-two.
It's looking emphatic now.
And that said,
Tottenham through to the last 16
of the Champions League.
It's finished
Tottenham four, Olympiacos two.
Yes, boys.
This is the mentality.
I think confidence is very,
very important with football.
You have the manager confidence and
you have your confidence.
Every game you need to
show something and give your best.
When you give everything on the pitch,
everyone loves you.
That's it!
It's not nice
being subbed after 30 minutes.
It was the first time
it's happened to me.
Nothing else really matters, you know.
Apart from playing so,
if you can't play, you're just
Personally, I'm just not happy.
Football moves fast.
One week you score the winner
in the 90th minute
and you feel on top of the world.
And next week,
you won't be in the squad,
and you'll feel like
your career's over.
Hi, José.
The ball boy was very instrumental
in the build-up to that goal.
Have you discussed anything with them
to get the ball back in play quickly?
To do that,
you have to be a very good ball boy.
Between my ten and 15, 16 year old,
I was a very good ball boy.
And the kid is a very good ball boy.
Understands the game.
Reads the game.
Very good. Really.
As a reward
for his role in Tottenham's win,
José has invited ball boy, Callum Hynes,
to a first team meal.
- Jump on that end there.
- Alright, OK.
- Say hello to the boys.
- Go around and shake everyone's hand.
I will do.
Congratulations, big man,
I'll introduce you to the team.
- Ah, thank you. You OK?
- Yeah, good. Thank you.
- Good assist.
- Thank you.
Serge, the guy who threw you the ball,
the ball boy.
Thank you.
- Hello, how are you?
- I'm good. Thank you.
What's happening? Well done.
Thank you.
If we are winning and the opponents
want the ball fast tell them
- You OK?
- Yeah, good. Thank you.
How are you? Good?
When you brush your teeth,
what order do you do it?
- Do you wet the toothbrush?
- Yes.
- Do you put the toothpaste on and wet it?
- No.
Wet the toothbrush,
put the toothpaste on, brush my teeth.
- You don't wet it again?
- No.
Depends on the toothbrush.
You don't put water on
after the toothpaste?
After the toothpaste, yeah.
- And not before?
- No.
I put water on the brush,
then toothpaste, then brush.
You don't put water on again?
Jump in.
Moura's Taxis.
Midfielder Dele has had
a meteoric rise from M.K. Dons
to be one of the Premier League's
most exciting young players.
But last season he received criticism
for his inconsistent performances.
Social media gives everyone
a platform to voice their opinion.
And it's like,
"Oh, I hate you. Leave my club."
Then next week it's,
"Ah, I love you so much."
Obviously it's if I'm scoring
or if I'm not.
If you listen to what people say,
if they are saying
good things all the time,
you can get carried away with yourself.
If they are saying bad things,
you can lose confidence.
You can't get caught up
in what they're saying.
Some players, the big stars,
when they get to 22 or something
and they just never get any better,
in fact, they effectively go backwards.
We are going to
resolve the mistake with effort,
so you have to do that. OK?
Dele, only in the goal kick,
but if he goes there,
you cannot be attracted by him.
If not, you are attracted by him
and he plays direct in there.
But you cannot let him go alone.
So, the moment Harry
José's keen to find a way of getting
Dele back to playing his best football.
OK. So what I want to tell you
basically is this,
Um
I think you feel that I like you.
- Yeah.
- You feel I like you
as a player
and I like you also as a kid.
I think you are a nice kid.
I don't want to be your father
because you have your father.
I don't want to be
your uncle or your old brother.
I just want to be your coach,
but with a good connection.
So I have to tell you
always what I think.
Inside of you,
maybe you tell me to fuck off.
But I have to tell you
exactly what I think.
And for me, since the beginning,
I had no doubts about your potential.
I saw you do
incredible matches and incredible things.
But I always felt
that you had ups and downs.
There is a huge difference between
a player that keeps consistency
and a player that has moments.
And that is what makes
a difference between
a top, top player
and a player with a top potential.
It's something
you don't have to share with me.
I think it's just for you
to analyse yourself.
And to realise why
my career has been OK.
M.K. Dons to the national team.
Bang!
And then you reach the top.
And then
Why you have in your career
these little ups and downs.
I don't know.
I don't know if it has
to be your lifestyle.
If in one period,
you are an amazing professional.
If in another period,
you become a party boy, going
I don't know. I have no idea.
Only you can know that.
I am 56 now.
And yesterday yesterday I was 20.
Not again.
And today I'm 56.
Time flies.
Time flies.
And I think one day,
I think you will regret
if you don't reach what you can reach.
I'm not expecting you
to be man of the match every game.
I'm not expecting you
to score goals every game.
I want just to tell you
that I think you will regret.
You should demand more from you.
Not me demanding more from you.
Not me. Nobody. You.
I think you should demand more from you.
No, I understand.
- Thank you, mate.
- Thank you.
See you later.
Cheers.
I'm not blind to it.
I knew I didn't play
that well last season
and as soon as I have a bad game
or if I'm not playing well
or training well.
I'm the first one that knows
and first to criticise myself.
You know, I always think
what I can do to improve
and sometimes things just switch.
With a Premier League game
against Bournemouth in 48 hours,
José must decide on his team.
Normally, Dier shouldn’t
play the next game.
But after the big knife
I stabbed in him,
maybe I have to start him
in the next game.
Maybe I have to sacrifice Winks this time.
For the family,
for the feeling of the family.
Today is Tottenham's third match
in a week in their bid to climb
the Premier League table.
A win could move them up to fifth place.
Wake me up before the game.
Wake me up before the game,
Formoso.
Don’t let the game
start without me.
No, no.
Imagine we reach the end,
"we won gaffer,
but they didn’t wake me up."
It's a traditional Saturday
three o'clock kick off.
And for José, a chance to win over
some of the Spurs faithful.
You know,
at Manchester United he was miserable.
Mourinho's won something
everywhere he's been,
why not give him a chance
and see what happens?
In his interviews
and stuff, typically before
I haven't really liked him that much,
but he's getting the players
playing.
I love the fact that Mourinho's
got more of Son and Kane
playing at the same time.
Got a bit of speed there,
a bit of creativity.
I don't know when
we're gonna start singing his name.
At the West Ham game last week
they started singing,
"José Mourinho", I was like,
"Oh, I don't know."
I'm happy we won,
but I still don't know
what I feel like yet.
We've got an amazing squad here
and we're all together.
Everyone's behind each other.
There's times when you feel
under pressure and you need to know that
the person next to you
is like your brother
and will put
everything on the line
to help not only you,
but the team.
The game is about glory together.
- Together, come on.
- Together.
Come on. Here we go.
Come on.
If we wanna be top four
at the end of the season,
we can't drop points.
We dropped too many points at home.
Ability-wise we're better.
We need to work harder than them.
- And we win this game.
- Come on!
José Mourinho's first home
Premier League game as head coach.
Number 15, Eric Dier.
Dele Alli. Oh, wow.
Brilliant from Dele Alli
who stays in possession.
Long ball up towards Son.
Dele Alli. Goal. Spurs.
He's the man of the moment, Dele Alli.
Tottenham Hotspur one, Bournemouth nil.
That is the end of the half.
OK.
We have three problems defensively
that we have to improve.
I start with the little things,
not with the big things.
On two wings,
which is a very basic thing,
we are not aggressive
and intensive enough.
We haven't come out of pressure zones.
We are always late.
We never arrive.
We are not shouting enough,
not intense enough.
You know,
there were some balls in the air.
First ball in the air,
second ball in the air,
we have to go there and win it.
We have to go there
and win the second ball.
A little bit more aggression
and a little bit more confidence,
and let's try to start strong,
which we didn't in the first half.
And being in control now
from the beginning.
Let's go.
Nice ball.
Dele Alli has trapped it
and he's still going.
Wonderfully taken by Dele Alli
and it's his second of the day.
How good is this guy, right now!
Playing with a smile on his face again.
Son back-heels it to Dele Alli
who has runners left and right.
Son is the preferred option.
And hanging round
the back post is Sissoko!
Absolutely wonderful!
Despite conceding two late goals
They might score again. They do.
José Mourinho steers his team
to three wins in a row.
Aurier. Anywhere will do.
That's it.
Spurs have got the win.
Three goals. Three points.
And three wins from three
for Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur
ahead of a trip to Manchester United.
Well done, boys.
Three points.
Job done. Three points.
And there's even better news.
Do you know how many points we are
behind Chelsea?
At home.
At home.
Chelsea lost six points.
- Come on, lads.
- Six.
One week ago, twelve. Six now.
Come on. Well done, lads.
Since José's arrival a week ago,
Spurs have moved up
nine places in the Premier League table.
Congratulations.
Three wins out of three.
Dele Alli looks to be
back to his best.
What have you done to get that back?
I think,
to play him in a position
where he feels happier
and he feels very comfortable.
I think it's three matches since I arrived
and three phenomenal matches for him.
Ten goals in three games
since you arrived,
- you must be delighted with the start.
- Six conceded.
You said Dele Alli
won't be man of the match every game,
well, so far, he's doing pretty well.
I don't need to speak because everybody
speaks about him in this moment,
and I prefer that.
You're up to fifth now.
Only six points behind Chelsea.
And, also,
Dele Alli has come to life again.
I couldn't ask for anything more from him.
Really amazing. Scoring goals.
Assisting. Working. Fantastic.
Interesting game next,
you go back to Old Trafford.
Yeah, but that's only Wednesday
and it's still Saturday.
And it's popped out for Rashford.
And Manchester United,
on six minutes, have taken the lead.
In many moments, I felt
you were hiding.
The attitude was not good enough.
I don't know if it's laziness
or trying to shift blame to other people,
but this happens every game
and I don't understand how.
It's unacceptable.
And Son gets a red card.
It is a red card.
It's a dismissal for the South Korean.
Huh? How is that red?
Tell me, please!
