For me, Matic is equally as important as Costa, Fabregas and Hazard in this Chelsea's team. He brings an amazing balance between the midfield and the defence given the attack the confidence and freedom to do their job.
For me this Jose's Chelsea will go places this season. Continue for what he said about Matic and tell us what you think about this Chelsea team?
Mourinho was effusive in his praise for the Serb's efforts in the past 10 months, telling reporters: "He is the best player.
"He was signed in the most difficult market. Which is for the players who are coming in mid-season, so the last half of the season was for him to improve, not adaptation, as he was a Chelsea player before, but to improve.
"At this moment he is a giant, not for his size but for the way he plays. The man is a giant."
Mourinho also hailed the mentality of his side, likening them to the championship-winning teams he has coached around Europe and says they remind him of the Chelsea outfit he forged in his first spell at Stamford Bridge.
He added: "I was champion in different countries, with different clubs. And there are points which are always present.
"I had it in Inter, Porto and Madrid and I have it here. I had it here in my first spell and I have it now, and this is something that I always have, people who are willing to sacrifice for the team, people who are willing to push, push to help, so I am so pleased with that."
