Mourinho says he is very positive about meeting Zoran Mamić‘s men and refuted the claims that Spurs had an easy draw.
Mourinho’s side comfortably saw off Austria giants Wolfsberger AC in the round of 32 with 8-1 an aggregate scoreline.
The North Londoners could have faced Premier League rivals Arsenal or Manchester United, or a daunting task of taking on either Ajax or AC Milan.
Ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s home game against Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday, Mourinho had his take on his side’s opponent in the Europa League.
“When you are in this competition and you get to this stage you don’t get easy clubs,” Mourinho said. “If you want to win it, sooner or later you have to play against the best clubs or the ones who go through the different stages.
“So the objective now is to win against Dinamo and then if later Arsenal and Manchester United are in the competition we have always to face them.
“I played against them with Real Madrid in the Champions League. Croatian football is Croatian football, lots of talent.
“It’s a football country. Good stadium, I believe we are going to play there, good stadium. Not a very difficult flight, not too far, I feel very positive things but the most important thing is that we get to the quarter-finals.”
