German international lost trust in Jose Mourinho

Wolfsburg star Andre Schurrle has revealed the reason behind him leaving Chelsea – he felt he lost the trust of Jose Mourinho.

The winger left Stamford Bridge in January after failing to make an impact in Mourinho‘s side, and he left the club after making just 20 Premier League starts in 18-months.

Despite helping Germany to the World Cup just six-months prior to his transfer, Schurrle was never seen as a regular at Chelsea and he has admitted he was surprised by his departure from the club.

Speaking in an interview, the winger revealed that he felt the trust was lost between himself and Mourinho.

Schurrle Reveals All

“I had a good time at Chelsea and was accepted in the team, so it’s difficult to explain why I left,” Schurrle told The Times.

 

“My performances were good as well, but there was a time in my second season when I felt I didn’t have the manager’s trust any more, and didn’t play many matches from the start.

“It was difficult to leave, but when I had the chance to come back to Germany to join an awesome club like Wolfsburg I felt it was a good decision.

“I don’t know why Mourinho didn’t trust me. It all felt a bit weird to me. I started a few games, was on the bench for a few, then started some more.

“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.

“I had a lot of good talks with the manager and respect him a lot, as he told me to my face what he wanted me to do. I had some very good games, but there was often an ordinary game soon afterwards as well.

“It was hard because I felt like I was training well and working really hard, but I wasn’t getting in the team. It was always up and down.”
