Jose Mourinho has been explaining, perhaps for the benefit of his new Tottenham players and staff, how problems can emerge if individuals do not share his vision and values.
"I read something about Kobe Bryant, a serial winner and a top professional. He says 'people say I'm difficult but I'm only difficult for the ones who don't share my principles'. With me everything's about the team, it's about the group, professionalism, respect for each other, the club and the fans.
"I cannot run away from this. If there's someone who doesn't share these principles then we have a problem because this is the way I think football should be. To be a big player they have to make others better."
