'All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur' Preview: Mourinho's entry to Covid-19 impact, there's a lot to expect
Amazon Prime video's latest edition of 'All or Nothing' is back and this time the team in focus is Tottenham Hotspur. Harry Kane & Co are part of the streaming service's fly-on-the-wall style sports docu and for those who want to get a first-hand account of what went on at the Tottenham camp last year will surely have to give this one a watch. Starting off with the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino, their manager, only to be replaced by Jose Mourinho.
This is just the start as the documentary as it also promises to provide a glimpse into Mourinho's psyche. The side that had a dismal run was a much better outfit after he took over the reins from Pochettino. The trailer provides a look at the highs and lows of the team during their unforgettable 2019 season. According to inews, Pochettino was not a fan of having the Amazon cameras around practice and the stadium. The site says there is just a single interview with him.
"If a house falls down, everyone sees it fall. But you have to anticipate that the house is going to fall.” He then insists: “We are talking in general, we are not talking about Tottenham," he said. Much of the things that would be covered in the docu-series might not be anything new, but what is interesting is the way it unfolded. Fans will be eager to see the reason and the arrival of Mourinho, the exit of some of their key players, and how the team went through a period of transition.
In addition, the series will also show the impact of the coronavirus pandemic that led to the cancelation of all sporting activities early in the year. The hook factor comes in when Mourinho outrightly points to the team they're a bunch of good guys, but then good guys, "they never win," he says. Heung-Min Son's red card against Chelsea gets covered and there's exclusive footage of the player walking back to the dressing room dejected and asking as to why he was actually red-carded.
'Mad Max: Fury Road' star Tom Hardy comes in as the narrator. There will be a total of nine episodes in the series that can be expected. While three episodes release on August 31, September 7 and 14 will see the release of episodes four to six and seven to nine respectively.
'All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur' releases August 31 on Amazon Prime.
