Andre Schurrle reveals real reason why he left Chelsea

Andre Schurrle says Jose Mourinho didn't trust him

ANDRE SCHURRLE has admitted he left Chelsea because Jose Mourinho never trusted him.

 

The German international spent just 18 months at Stamford Bridge before returning to the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg in February.

He scored 14 goals for the club in 64 appearances and was building a reputation as something of an impact sub.

 

However, the 24-year-old admits he could never understand why Mourinho insisted on keeping him on the bench.

He told The Times: "I had a good time at Chelsea and was accepted in the team, so it's difficult to explain why I left.

 

"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 I didn't play many matches from the start.

"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."
