Tottenham defender Reguilon: I wish you knew Mourinho like I do

Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon admits he's enjoying his football under Jose Mourinho.

Reguilon left Real Madrid last summer for Spurs.

Asked about Mourinho, he told AS: "I always say the same thing: I would like you to know him the way I know him. I could tell a thousand wonderful anecdotes ...

"For example on Christmas day, he knows I am alone. We got to training on the 25th at 3 and I had a box on my site. I open it and it was a suckling pig already cooked.

"He told me 'I know you are alone at Christmas so you don't have to cook dinner and can eat well'.

"It is details that people don't know on a day-to-day basis, but for a footballer who is aware of how you are away from football it is very important."

Reguilon added: "When he has to be hard, he's hard like anyone else. But he is a person who cares a lot about everyone."
