Jose Mourinho did not watch Hugo Lloris' interview after Tottenham were stunned by Dinamo Zagreb last week.

Lloris said his team was a 'disgrace' after they blew a 2-0 aggregate lead in Croatia, which saw them eliminated from the Europa League.

Spurs bounced back with a win over Aston Villa on Sunday.

Speaking after the win, Mourinho was asked if he had a response to Lloris' comments.

"I didn't watch it. I didn't listen to it," he said.

"I closed myself in my shell as I was saying before, I don't need to read or listen or to watch to have a personal reaction.

"I am a very mature guy and I have emotional stability.

"I don't need to read or to listen. I was not interested, I was interested in analysing and thinking about the best approach I could have with my players.

"And to focus on my job rather than reactions after the game."
