Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho closed the doors
to his team's training session on Wednesday to prevent spies
learning his side's new tactics.
The Portuguese tactician took the decision as he seeks to impose
his training methods on the Serie A champions.
His move caused consternation among some of the club's fans, but
the former Chelsea boss has pleaded with them to understand.
He told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I have
big respect for supporters.
"In fact, also in our headquarters, we have opened the doors to
them.
"But I know, we know, that in the middle of many supporters
there are also many coaches or scouts of other sides, who maybe
will be our opponents during the season.
"So, due to the fact we had to try new tactical situations for
the first time, I decided to have training behind closed doors.
"This is the only reason why I made this decision."
