Chelsea defender, Kurt Zouma has said Spurs boss, Jose Mourinho taught him to “hate losing” while he helped him adjust to life at the EPL in London.
According to the Frenchman, Mou deserves praise for getting him ready for life at a big English club.
Zouma added that Jose gave him confidence as a player.
His words, “It was Mourinho who opened the gates of England to me. I was only 19 when I arrived there. I was young,”
“He also gave me confidence by making me play big games with a lot of intensity. He was the one who showed me what football was like in England.
“The coach is a man who hates losing. He taught me to hate defeat. Thanks to him, I was able to flourish at Chelsea. He gave me a lot of things and taught me a lot. I thank him.”
“He is a coach who is really close to us. It’s clear that he was still a player until recently. He talks to us a lot, participates a lot in training. When we work defensively on corners, he’s the one who takes them. You should see the precision he has.
“It’s amazing. He has so many qualities with his feet. He also does the rondo with us. I can assure you that he almost never goes in the middle. He is still very strong.”
Chelsea presently sit fourth in the Premier League, despite losing to Manchester City in a 2-1 loss this past weekend.
