Jose Mourinho apologised to Dele Alli for ‘lazy’ insult – but it wasn’t shown by Amazon

Daily Star says Former Tottenham star Dele Alli has revealed there was more to the infamous ‘lazy’ talk with Jose Mourinho.

The out-of-form England international was called out by ‘The Special One’ for being ‘lazy’ during a team meeting. In one of the series’ most iconic scenes, Mourinho told the player “I understood already that you are a f*****g lazy guy in training” in front of the rest of the squad.

But Alli, 27, has said Amazon failed to broadcast the part where his old manager later apologised for the comment. And despite that development, the ‘lazy’ tag has stayed with the player ever since.

“I’m glad you asked me about that [Jose Mourinho calling me lazy], so that lazy comment people all love to bring that up, that interview obviously that was on Amazon,” the midfielder told Gary Neville on The Overlap. “He called me lazy – that was the day after recovery day.
