Juliano Belletti is grateful to Jose Mourinho for bringing him to Chelsea Football Club.

The Brazilian joined the Blues last year shortly before Mourinho left Stamford Bridge, and the former Barcelona ace seems ever grateful to the Portuguese coach.

"I feel proud and ready to play two or three more years at this level," he told the News of the World.

"England is the best of all worlds, where technique, tactics, atmosphere, infrastructure and management combine. It's like the highest possible level of professional football.

"I thank the heavens every day for letting me taste this amazing life at Chelsea."
