Last match left Jose Mourinho quite frustrated. His Tottenham lost to Liverpool at home 3-1 with two decisive defensive mistakes of his players, and now they went down to the sixth place while the team of Jürgen Klopp is third, but still fighting for top of the league and trying hold the title.

Casually, both managers have had some duels of words in the past, and that match was not the exception. So before the game where Tottenham faced Brighton, Mourinho was asked what was exactly his relationship with Klopp. Mourinho likes to create drama, and was subtle but clear on his answer.

The Portuguese manager just said 'We are not friends'. And added that he has been punished when he behave badly with fines and suspensions, and that was correct, but when Klopp did the same, nothing happened, because the German has a reputation of being a fair competitor when he is not.

Tottenham was a serious candidate to win the Premier League at the beginning of the season. If they do, it will be the first time in 50 years for that club. But the team got some bad results in a row and now that dream seems to be not impossible, but a bit further. Still, Mourinho did big things since he arrived and is still trusted.
