Chinanews.com client, September 26. A few days ago, the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur club eliminated the North Macedonian team Skendia 3:1 in the UEFA Europa League qualifying game.
The game process and results were calm, but Tottenham coach Mourinho’s post-game post via social media gave fans a "insight".
Mourinho issued a post after the game saying that there was an episode before the game, and the goal was two inches (about 5 cm) shorter than normal.
"The goalkeeper told me that the goal was getting smaller, and I went to see it myself, and it was true. The goalkeeper was standing under the goal all the time, so they could feel it."

Mourinho also really felt the height of the goal.
For this famous coach who has been dealing with football for decades, he clearly knows the distance between himself and the crossbar after standing on the goal line with his arms straight.
This made Mourinho, who was used to seeing the big scenes, also lamented "so funny." He also jokingly said, "I thought I had grown taller."
After discovering something wrong, Tottenham recruited a UEFA representative, and then confirmed that the crossbar was indeed short, so they changed the goal before the game.
