Defender Kurt Zouma has thanked now Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho for his valuable lessons at Chelsea.
After joining the club as a teenager Zouma has developed into a first-team regular at the Blues.
The pair worked together for one year at Stamford Bridge and despite such a short spell, Zouma is grateful for the impact Mourinho had on him.
'He is the one who opened the door of England to me. I was only 19 when I arrived there. That's young. It's also him who gave me belief by playing me in big matches with a lot of intensity, he told France Football.
'It is also he who showed me what football in England was about. The coach is a man who detests losing. He taught me to hate defeat.
'Thanks to him, I got to enjoy myself at Chelsea. He has given me a lot of things and taught me an enormous amount. I thank him.'
