Jose Mourinho slept at Tottenham’s training ground in order to prepare for Saturday’s visit of Burnley – a game you can hear LIVE on talkSPORT 2.
Spurs are looking to bounce back following their first defeat under Mourinho, a crushing 2-1 defeat against his former club Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Having flown back from Manchester, he spent the night at Hotspur Way in Enfield attempting to plot a swift return to winning ways against Sean Dyche’s Clarets.
And Mourinho has ordered his squad to respond in a proactive manner by harnessing anger and rage, rather than feeling sorry for themselves.
“After a defeat you cannot be sad. You have to be more than that. You have to be raging, angry, not sad,” said the 56-year-old.
“Sad is grief. It’s death. When you lose somebody, you have to be sad, you have to be grieving, you have to be crying.
“There is no solution against that, you lost that person. A football match, you lose one, tomorrow there is another one.
“You keep moving and growing and learn from the mistake and don’t accept the defeat as an empty word. Accept defeat as a learning process, next game, work the next day.
“I slept in here (the training ground), I stayed here, I didn’t go home, so the next morning at eight o’clock I was here doing what? Burnley.
“Analysing Burnley, trying to organise the training session, trying to organise the meeting, choosing the clips to show them the most clear possible way Burnley works.
“That’s the way you have to do it in football. Don’t accept in a passive way.”
