Mourinho also explained what he believes is going to be the key to success with Tanguy Ndombele.
The club record signing has shown glimpses of just how important he is going to be for Tottenham but has struggled to steer clear of injury.
Mourinho explained that the 23-year-old has been learning a lot in recent weeks and months, not least how to eat properly.
"It's about working and working not just with me, everybody in the club is working with him," he said. "We have a process of trying to develop him. Not just about the tactical side of it, it’s everywhere.
"We have a plan with him where he is the most important part of the plan. Not me or the sports science or the medical or the nutrition, it’s him, the crucial part of the plan. So we need him to be good in that plan.
"We put into practice a plan with everything. He’s having individual training, he’s having training with the group, training with coaches, training with sports science people.
"He’s having the nutritionist teaching him things he doesn’t know. We are taking care of him in every detail, but again it is him the key guy."
