The head strategist of London's Chelsea, Jose Mourinho, praised his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo and insisted that he is the best player he has ever trained.
Both Portuguese worked together for three seasons at Madrid's Real club, but last season J. Mourinho was removed from the position of the head coach of the royal club.
"Cristiano will remain a part of my career. He is the best footballer I have ever had to coach," he told "France Football" magazine.
"Having Cristiano Ronaldo on the team made me feel special, because I could trust and have no doubts about this player," added J.Mourinho.
This season, the captain of the Portuguese national team is demonstrating incredible form and has scored 24 goals in 17 games played.
