Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho stormed out of today’s press conference ahead of his side’s Champions League match with Steau Bucharest tomorrow night.
The Portuguese-man was left frustrated with reporters after they kept asking him questions about Kevin De Bruyne as they wanted to know why the midfield-man has been dropped to the reserves.
After several questions were asked about De Bruyne, Mourinho then snapped and claimed that the reporters do not care about what is happening with the club, unless it is negative things.
“You are for three weeks speaking about Mata, and now it’s De Bruyne,” he said.
“So you aren’t interested in the players that are playing? You are interested in the players not playing.”
Mourinho continued: “He [De Bruyne] was not selected. It was my decision. Only 11 can play and 18 can be selected. I try to decide, by what they do on the pitch, when they play and what they do in training.
“I try to be honest with Juan and say that he’s going to play Tuesday, because of what he did in training and because of what he did in the matches he played.
“With Kevin, it’s the same. He’s not selected because I didn’t like the match he played against Swindon and I didn’t like the way he was training.
“But you have this tendency to only ask about the guys that are not selected. See you Tuesday.”
