Jose Mourinho says Tuesday's Carabao Cup semi-final with Brentford is the biggest game he has faced since taking charge of Tottenham.
Mourinho, appointed in November 2019, is hoping to lead Spurs to their first major trophy since 2008.
"After more than one decade, every competition becomes more important and if we win two matches we win a trophy," Mourinho said.
The Portuguese manager has previously won the competition four times.
It was his first trophy in English football in 2005 and he won it twice more with Chelsea before a further success as Manchester United manager in 2017.
