Mourinho slam Man City and England over Sterling


Tottenham Hotspur manager, Jose Mourinho has criticized England for bowing to pressure from Manchester City over Raheem Sterling’s situation while on international duty.
Jose dropped a hand grenade in his press conference on Friday when he suggested that City put pressure on Southgate to release Raheem Sterling from international duty.
The Portuguese manager then added that the England manager, Gareth Southgate should substantiate claims made that clubs put pressure on players not to turn out for England.
“I have read that Gareth Southgate has said some football club managers put pressure on their players not to play for the national team,” said Mourinho in his press conference on Friday.
“Because of that, sometimes Gareth feels the needs to call some of the club managers to cool down the emotions. I would like him to say which are the coaches that put pressure on their players, and which are the coaches he calls.  
“He has the right to call the players he wants. He wants to win matches and, of course, we all know Raheem Sterling is going to play tomorrow.”
Tottenham and Manchester City will face off in the Premier League on Saturday.
