Igor Tudor has defended his man-management skills and revealed he hugged Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky during half-time of Tuesday's 5-2 thrashing at Atletico Madrid. Yet, ahead of Sunday's trip to Liverpool, Tudor explained: "When you do that substitution after 15 minutes, the coach loses in both cases. Asked if he did give a shell-shocked Kinsky a hug at half-time, Tudor insisted: "Of course." It was Toni in the goal for that game, normal situation," Tudor insisted. Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust described Tuesday's result as a "total disgrace" and demanded a refund for fans out in Madrid.
