Andre Schurrle has come out and revealed the exact reason for his exit for Chelsea and it is not good news for Jose Mourinho as the German International has blamed the Portuguese manager for his shortened spell at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking with Sky Sports, Schurrle said: “There was a time in my second season when I felt I didn’t have the manager’s trust anymore. I don’t know why Mourinho didn’t trust me. It all felt a bit weird to me. It was up and down the whole time.
“I didn’t get any consistency from the manager, so found it hard to produce my best. That’s probably the biggest reason I wanted to leave.”
Schurrle went on to praise Eden Hazard and tagged the Belgian as best player in the league, however, he even shared his feelings on having to compete with him for a regular starting XI place under Mourinho.
Schurrle said: “It’s even harder for the wingers as there are only two in the team and Eden plays always, as he’s the best player in the league. So you have one position on the right wing which was between Willian, Oscar, myself, sometimes Juan Mata, occasionally Kevin De Bruyne.”
Schurrle is currently in England preparing for the Champions League clash against Manchester United as Wolfsburg look to build momentum following their MatchDay 1 win over CSKA Moscow.
