Former Chelsea midfielder Andre Schurrle has revealed that the lack of trust shown by Jose Mourinho has ended his dream at Stamford Bridge as he signed for Wolfsburg later.
‘Chelsea was a dream for me,’ Schurrle said to Bild. ‘But after I was out for a few weeks through an infection, the coach unfortunately did not count on me much more often.’
The Dortmund forward has been in fine form for the German giants but was restricted to more like a bench role during his time at Chelsea.
‘Mourinho showed me how hard life can be as a footballer. If you had one bad game, you would be out of the team,’ Schurrle added.
‘My experience at Chelsea was great, playing with so many superstars – it was just like I had imagined it.
‘Playing for Chelsea was an absolute dream for me, but following my infection, the manager no longer counted on me.’
