For the Telegraph, Serge Aurier returned to his delicate passage Tottenham. The right-back, now Villarreal, remains marked by his bad relationship with Jos Mourinho’s former assistant, Joao Sacramento.
Aurier left Tottenham in October
This is what is called a good choice. Arrived free Villarreal last October after having terminated his contract with Tottenham, Serge Aurier has revived well within a team which is about to play a semi-final of the Champions League against Liverpool. A real breath of fresh air for a player who had a difficult end to his adventure in England.
In an interview with the Telegraph, the 29-year-old right-back returned to his time at Spurs and did not spare Joao Sacramento, who was Jos Mourinho’s assistant at the time. The Ivorian international still seems marked by the complicated relationship he had with the one who passed through Lille between 2017 and 2019.
S. Aurier – he didn’t have a good relationship with the locker room
Football is different compared to ten years ago. He (Mourinho) remains a great coach, but there are things that have changed. Sometimes players need more love and attention. I’m not speaking for Jos, I’m speaking for his assistant. Joao is a tough guy and he didn’t have a good relationship with the dressing room, that’s why everything went downhill. There was a lack of good communication explained the former Parisian.
Aurier believes that Sacramento had forgotten the human side of his job. It was one of his first experiences in a first team and he lacked calm with the players, he continued. He needed to care more about the person behind the player. Sometimes when you’re not playing a lot is going through your head, and you need someone to calm you down and help you, to give you good vibes, not send you negative messages. And I think it all started there.
Aurier believes a new achievement against Liverpool
Now happy in Spain, the Elephant feels aim et respect inside the yellow submarine. It’s not easy to change your life and adapt quickly, but Villarreal is the perfect place to do it. The way the team plays, unlike Tottenham, is always based on having the ball and that has helped me settle in better. at-the confi.
A way of playing that allowed Unai Emery’s team to become the surprise of this 2021-2022 edition of the Champions League. After eliminating Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, the club from the province of Castelln will seek to achieve a new feat against Liverpool. Anything can happen, assures Aurier. Liverpool are one of the best teams in the world, but that won’t stop us from fighting. And fighting is the motto of my life. We will know a little more about the chances of the Spaniards after the first leg which will be played this Wednesday (9 p.m.) Anfield.
