Chelsea winger Andre Schurrle says manager Jose Mourinho's demands is taking his game to new standards.
Schurrle, who was part of the Germany World Cup winning squad in July, admits Mourinho's high standards is taking his career to another level.
He said: "Mourinho has taught me a different style of play and a different way of thinking to reach the world-class level someday.
"To him, finishing second is a failure. He doesn't know the word 'losing'. That's how he holds his talk before the matches. His thinking is impressive - as impressive as the way he gets his message across. "He challenges you to be robust on the pitch, to play like a man. To commit a foul. I feel much better since joining Chelsea and I have become much more confident."
