I&#8217;m so happy for that. He&#8217;s a friend, one of the few really good friends I made in England.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham have impressed so far in the Champions League, beating Inter and knocking out AC Milan recently and now face, arguably, their toughest test in Real Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>Mourinho added: &#8220;What they&#8217;ve done is brilliant. They beat Inter, then they played the team who have won the European Cup the second highest number of times, AC Milan, and now they play Real Madrid, the champion of champions, who have won nine European Cups.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It will be difficult. I know the mentality of the English teams, the way they play at home, and the character they have of playing with all their heart in every minute of every game. They have beaten Inter, knocked out Milan and are having a very good Premier League season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mourinho, who won six trophies with Chelse, and will be looking to win the Champions League with a third club this year, does not think it is worth speculating about a possible semi-final with Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The possibility of a Madrid-Barca semi-final is the same as a Tottenham-Shakhtar one,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s not worth talking about a semi-final when you don&#8217;t know what teams are going to be there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>        <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Read the original here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2914\/champions-league\/2011\/03\/18\/2401163\/real-madrid-manager-jose-mourinho-praises-tottenhams-harry\" title=\"Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho praises Tottenham's Harry Redknapp ahead of Champions League showdown\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho praises Tottenham&#8217;s Harry Redknapp ahead of Champions League showdown<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Omar Shahid 18 Mar 2011 22:22:00 Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid Related Links Teams Players Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has praised Tottenham\u2019s Harry Redknapp ahead of their quarter-final show down in the Champions League , congratulating him on his success at Spurs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-320943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
