When everyone thinks they have seen and heard everything Jose Mourinho is capable of, the Portuguese, without a hitch, finds new ways to stun people, prove that he is unique, and justify his well-known nickname – The Special One. This time, his former club, Tottenham, felt it on their skin.When Mourinho sleeps at the press conferenceNamely, Spurs are interested in Fenerbahce’s gem Yusuf Akcicek, and so last Sunday, they sent a scout to Mourinho’s team’s Turkish Super Lig clash against Antalyaspor to see the 19-year-old’s qualities first-hand. Unfortunately for them, Mou heard about it and prevented the realization of their plan by keeping the youngster on the bench for the entire game!Tottenham sent a scout to Turkey on Sunday to watch Yusuf Akçiçek in action for Fenerbahçe ahead of a potential summer move.José Mourinho heard the news and kept him on the bench for the entire game 😂 pic.twitter.com/Oj2ssO7ACM— Not Match of the Day (@NOT_MOTD) March 6, 2025 To make matters worse, the defender was pretty regular in the XI during the past three weeks, starting five out of the last six games and spending 90 minutes on the pitch in four. The only time he didn’t play at all – surprise, surprise, last Sunday! Moreover, four days after the Antalyaspor match, Akcicek started the UEFA Europa League match against Rangers yesterday.##NAJAVA_MECA_8763732##The centre-back is indeed the future of Turkish football, and it’s no wonder that Mourinho wants to keep him as long as possible. In his previous six games, Akcicek noted a goal and an assist, which is a phenomenal record for a central defender. In the end, Spurs will undoubtedly eventually manage to see the Turk live at some point, but they’d better hide it from Jose.
