Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier admits he's enjoying his football under new manager Jose Mourinho.
Dier has hinted spending too long under the charge of Mauricio Pochettino had left the Tottenham players feeling trapped.
“Of course you start from scratch with someone," Dier explained. “It is very different. There is no history and a freedom in that.
“I am really enjoying it, enjoying playing and feel with every game I am feeling better and better.
“We have spoken a lot – both in English and Portuguese! His mentality appeals to me and it is very special.
“Having grown up in Portugal to go from what he was doing at the time to now be playing under him is very special.
“I was a kid at the time but he was a very big thing so it is special to be working for him.
“It is natural that we have that connection but it is nothing more than that and up to me to perform. I know that if I do perform, like I know I can, I will be able to play."
