Dele Alli considered retiring from football aged 24 after being dropped by Jose Mourinho
Neville was reduced to tears as Alli discussed his childhood traumaIn the series, Mourinho told Alli he was 'f****** lazy' in his office - and again in a team meeting - while also telling the same thing to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, with the clips going viral on social media.
He remarked: "That lazy comment, people love to bring that up, that interview obviously was on Amazon. He called me lazy - that was the day after recovery day. But he added: "I don't blame Mourinho, I don't blame anyone. My reaction to that wasn't right, but it wasn't something I had control over." Alli said of Pochettino: "Mauricio Pochettino was the best manager and I couldn't have asked for a better manager at the time."He was just so understanding of the decisions I was making, and he was guiding – like, he cared about me as a person before the football, which is what I needed at that time. And I think that's important for young players."
