MOURINHO VS LAMPARD - WHAT THEY SAID

Chelsea will be up against Tottenham in a match that could see Tottenham move into top 4 if they defeat the Blues

Mourinho

On the post match interview mourinho said about facing Chelsea

“For me, it’s a game. I am 100% Tottenham, 100% my club always, all my career. No space at all for my previous clubs. I gave everything to all of them, my previously. Everything. I kept nothing from them. I gave everything but they are my previous clubs. I give everything to my club - my club is Tottenham.

“For me, it’s so easy for me to play that game. Difficult because of Chelsea’s quality but not difficult from an emotional point of view. Not difficult at all. Easy.”

about inviting Lampard for a drink before the match Mourinho said "I don't think so because our stadium is built in the way that our office is completely on the inside of our private headquarters.

"Until now I didn't invite any managers to go there and I don't think I'll do that with Frank.

"But like I used to say, a big hug before the game and another after the game, that's for sure, independent of results and who is happy.

"I think our feelings will be for ever. I'll always be grateful to him for what he gave me as a player. Nothing is going to change that.

"I love the guy, I will always love the guy. I hope he loses on Sunday.

"I lost against Frank last year, I lost. I don't get an extra buzz at all."

"It's a collapse that keeps them fourth in the Premier League and still in the Champions League, playing an amazing knockout against Bayern Munich," he added.

"If that's a collapse, it's not a bad collapse. They're fine."

Lampard

On the players selection he said

"They are always hard. Everyone is fit, we have a competitive squad, players are trying to push to be in that side. The rules are the same, it is what you do day-in day-out to be in that team.

On spur

"They had a fantastic manager in Pochettino, that made them a big challenge for everyone in the Premier League. It is always a competitive fixture."

On learning from Mourinho

"Not one thing. He is a good manager. I am not trying to be a clone of anything."
