Mourinho accuses Ajax coach Ten Hag of freezing for Spurs comeback

Jose Mourinho accused Ajax coach Erik ten Hag of freezing during Tottenham's sensational Champions League comeback last night.

Ajax blew a 3-0 aggregate lead to lose the semifinal 3-3 on the away goals rule.

"I think, it hurts me a little bit to say this, I want to give 99 per cent credit to ten Hag, the beautiful work he did with this team. But I have to be critical in one per cent," Mourinho told beIN Sports.

"I think in this second half, he has to play more.

"As a coach there are matches where we don't play, there are matches where we play very bad, but there are matches where we play very well, and Ajax in that second half needed him to play very well.

"And I think he played like his team, not very well."
