Mourinho explodes: “You ask that question only to me but not to Klopp or Pep …”

In the 57th minute the sign was lit at St James Park. Tottenham, who were 0-1 win over Newcastle, was going to introduce a change. Lucas Moura left and Bergwijn entered. The Dutchman bailed out the spurs in just three minutes on the pitch. He put a perfect center to the second post that Harry Kane masterfully and calmly sent to the bottom of the meshes. The English would hunt a rejection in 90 to put the final 1-3 and add three key points in the fight for Europe, which they have one point left.

Bergwijn's influence was evident and in the telematic press room, Mourinho was asked why the Dutchman was no longer a starter (He has been in nine of 14 games as a spur). A question that did not sit well with Setúbal, who compared his situation with that of his most direct rivals on the bench.

“That's the question you normally ask me but don't ask Lampard, Klopp, Pep … To the rest of the coaches of big clubs with good players. Lampard does not put Pulisic or Hudson-Odoi and you do not ask him why he is not a starter. If Pep puts someone and leaves Bernardo Silva out, you never ask him about Bernardo Silva. I am the only one who is required to put fifteen starters or I am the only one who does not have the right to have good players on the bench. If I had started Bergwijn today, you would be asking me what Lucas Moura has to do to be a starter or what Son has to do to be a starter. They don't have to do anything, they have to be team players. Players who can be starters, who can stay on the bench, leave for half an hour or for a minute. How many times does Nuno leave Adama Traoré on the bench to win games in the last 30 minutes? And you don't ask Nuno if Traoré stays on the bench and why he plays Jota, Podence or Dendoncker instead. It's just me. Berjwin does not have to do anything else, he is one of the team. He plays for Tottenham and Tottenham has to compete with the best teams and for this he can not only have eleven good players. He needs more and we have them on the bench, “he assured in a long response.

With the help of Bergwijn and the rest of the 'team players', Tottenham prevailed in Newcastle although its arrival to continental competitions is complicated. The spurs need to go back to Wolverhampton and also, that Arsenal does not win the FA Cup (they have the semifinals against City) so that the place has to be divided between City, United or Chelsea and goes to auction in the Premier classification where those of Mourinho must be placed as the highest bidder
