Players disagree with Mourinho's tactics

According to reports, players are not liking his 'old-school' tactics and are of the opinion that his training methods are mundane and lack any imagination.
According to reports, players are of the opinion that their training sessions focus a lot on long balls and throw-ins in what is called a lower-league training session. Another problem that the players are facing is the way Mourinho is treating midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
