Mourinho went on to praise Eto'o, with whom he won a European treble at Inter Milan before bringing him to Chelsea: "It was with him I had the best ever season of my career. He is one of the few players who is working with me at a second different club and a manager never does that when he doesn't like the player, doesn't like the person."
