José Mourinho said he was uneasy that Gareth Bale will fall under the jurisdiction of an Arsenal manager when the Tottenham winger returns to international service next week. Bale is back in the Wales squad after missing the international matches in October. With Ryan Giggs absent after his arrest on suspicion of assault, they are led by assistant coaches Robert Page and Albert Stuivenberg, who also work with Mikel Arteta for Spurs’ Archbishop. Rivals.
Giggs, denying all allegations, agreed with the Football Assocation of Wales to stand aside for the games against the United States, Republic of Ireland and Finland. But Mourinho argues it isn’t fair for Stuivenberg, the Dutchman who previously worked at Louis United under Louis van Gaal alongside Giggs, to work in various forms. “The fact that one of the managers is an Arsenal manager doesn’t make me very comfortable,” said Mourinho. “To be honest, it doesn’t make me very comfortable. National team games should have coaches who work exclusively for them, not coaches who work for other clubs. “
Bale lasted 65 minutes in Tottenham’s win over Ludogorets on Thursday, the most he has played on loan from Real Madrid since returning to Spurs. Bale suffered a knee injury in Wales’ win over Bulgaria in September and has since built on his fitness at Tottenham. “He’s a player who needs to be safe. He’s had enough problems in the past,” added Mourinho. “He works so much and we all work so carefully with him that we don’t want to destroy the work everyone has been doing in the past few months. If they are as interested in him as we are, they have to cope with the recovery phase. “
Tottenham returns for a television launch at West Brom on Sunday when Mourinho is confident Sergio Reguilón will be fit after the flu. The Portuguese recognized that the 72-hour turn is not ideal after returning from Bulgaria. “But we get high salaries and of course the stations have [a] great responsibility for the high salaries we all get, ”he said. “So you have the right to vote, but if you could be a little more careful with the English teams in Europe, that would be good. In other countries they do that. “
