Mourinho recounted, “He told me something incredible. He said that at the same time he could see the action in the box and my behaviour on the touchline.”
The Portuguese manager still eyeing the PL return praised Turpin’s “peripheral vision,” stating, “During the game, at 100 mph, he had one eye on the penalty situation and one eye on the bench and my behaviour.”
