London, April 21 : Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has said he felt like he was British when England\'s tennis star Andy Murray won the Wimbledon tournament two years ago.

â€œThe Wimbledon that I really felt was Andy Murrayâ€™s victory because it was very special for him,â€ Mourinho was quoted as saying by dailymail.co.uk on Tuesday.

â€œWinning Wimbledon is the same for all the players, but for a British player to win Wimbledon after so many years I felt so much emotion. I am not British, but on that day I felt like I was,â€ the 52-year-old said.

Murray beat reigning World No.1 Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 during the 2013 final to end Britain\'s 77-year wait for a men\'s champion.

â€œWimbledon is more than a Grand Slam. You have great tournaments, great matches, but Wimbledon is Wimbledon. The tradition, the history around this tournament is magnificent,â€ he said.

â€œThere are some iconic moments in your sports history, and in football to play at Wembley is a special moment. It is similar to Wimbledon. The aura is very difficult to explain - you come in and you just feel it,â€ Mourinho said.
