We just need to believe in what he says, give our best on the pitch, to fight and if we do it then we are going to be close to doing something good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mourinho has won trophy&#8217;s everywhere he has been. His first piece of silverware while at Chelsea and Manchester United was the League Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Sissoko added: &#8220;It is so important [to get that first trophy]. This club deserves it, first of all, this club has been waiting for a trophy for many years and, like I said before, we\u2019ve been close to winning something for many years in the past but we didn\u2019t for different reasons.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This season we can still win something. We have a good squad, a strong squad with a lot of quality and we just need to believe in ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s fight until the end and hopefully we can bring one or even more trophies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"rnPhPwKnSvNXEXYbdEP2TQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1191074044\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'rnPhPwKnSvNXEXYbdEP2TQ',sig:'VbFd6RdpySCQ7EqW_nrWtRfloPuL1EbfaGroh7xYV6M=',w:'594px',h:'415px',items:'1191074044',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko recognises that his teammates must put their trust in manager Jose Mourinho if they want to win silverware.
