"It was a good training session," Mourinho told the club's website following a match divided into four periods of 30 minutes to give more players the chance of meaningful game time. "We needed minutes, we needed to know the feeling of playing here without our supporters and to have this training session with another Premier League team is the best thing," the Portuguese boss explained. Spurs will have to win the majority of their nine remaining league games if they are to qualify for the Champions League. Mourinho, a former Chelsea and Manchester United manager, added: "We decided to mix them and to give almost the same amount of minutes to everyone. "We all know that in these first matches, and in the friendlies, there's also the risk of getting some injuries."
