Jose Mourinho delivered a rousing first speech to his new Tottenham players yesterday.

Record has offered details of Mourinho's speech to his players, where he vowed to 'be your father, friend, girlfriend, whatever you want,' in a bid to turn their poor form around.

With their position surprisingly perilous after 12 games, Mourinho pulled up the table during his speech to players.

He reportedly was keen to stress to the group that they are far superior than their current position suggests and hopes facing the reality of their poor start head on can serve as motivation starting on Saturday.

He also spoke individually with a number of key figures in the dressing room.

Mourinho is said to have spoken to leading players such as injured goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, striker Harry Kane, Toby Alderweireld, Harry Winks, Eric Dier and Dele Alli.

It was believed this was another motivational tactic that can rub off on the rest of the squad.
