Former Chelsea defender Robert Huth has spoken of playing for Jose Mourinho.

As a youngster, Huth played 23 times across Mourinho's two title-winning campaigns as Chelsea boss, acting as a squad player behind the likes of John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho and William Gallas.

"He is amazing. He came to Chelsea after winning the Champions League at Porto and everyone was in awe of him," Huth told Paddy Power's Pitch Invader magazine.

"For me and my career he was a total game-changer. He came in with his mentality, his training and preparation and just took the club to another level.

"It was always good, but with him it was something else - the sheer level of detail for training and for games too.

"We had ballboys at training! I've never seen anything like it.

"He didn't even want to waste even one minute of a player or a member of staff's time by having them collect balls.

"So he got a few teenagers from the local area, so that training was continuous.

"I remember thinking 'whoah, this guy means business!'

"His influence was enormous. He didn't give a s***. He just wanted to win."
