Jose Mourinho had special dressing room instructions vs Tottenham - "Make them suffer"

Former Chelsea captain John Terry has admitted Jose Mourinho used to offer an inspiring team talk to make certain teams "suffer" - with Tottenham being one of them.

Mourinho took charge of the Blues in 2004 and guided them to back-to-back Premier League titles, while also winning the League Cup and FA Cup once in the process. He posted an excellent record in his first spell at Stamford Bridge, winning 124 of his 185 matches, before moving onto Inter Milan.

Having spent time in Italy and then at Real Madrid, Mourinho returned for his second spell at Chelsea where he looked to take over a team that had just lifted the Europa League. It didn't take Mourinho long to win another title as the Blues won the Premier League in 2014/15, with Terry spearheading Chelsea's good fortunes.
