Jose Mourinho questioned Dele Alli’s ‘party boy’ lifestyle as he advised the Spurs midfielder to figure out what he wants to achieve in his career.
Alli was not named in Gareth Southgate’s England squad and the 24-year-old has not won an international cap for more than a year.
Mourinho reveals he ‘doesn’t train well’ in the Amazon documentary series All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur and called him into his office soon after he replaced Mauricio Pochettino in November.
‘It’s for you to analyse and to realise why you go ‘MK Dons, Tottenham, national team, bang’ and then you reach the top and why do you have in your career these little ups and downs?’ said Mourinho. ‘I don’t know if it has to do with your lifestyle.
‘I don’t know if in one period you are an amazing professional and in another period you are a party boy. Only you can know that. One day I think you will regret if you don’t reach what you can reach.’
