Tottenham midfielder Jenas flattered by Mourinho admiration

Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas knows he has a fan in Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho.

When he was rebuilding the Inter Milan team who would go on to win the Champions League, Mourinho singled out Jenas and Didier Drogba as Premier League players he particularly admired.

"He's one of the greatest managers of our time," Jenas told the Telegraph. "If someone like Mourinho says he rates you, it does fill you with confidence.

"On a personal note, it gives me some fulfillment knowing that he appreciates the way I play, which sometimes can go unnoticed."
