Early end: Jose Mourinho storms out leaving Frank Lampard in the press conference
Fury: Jose Mourinho lashed out at those questioning his squad selection
Unhappy: Mourinho walked out of the press conference shortly after being question on De Bruyne's axing
Jose Mourinho aliyekuwa na hasira hii leo alilazimika kuukatisha mkutano wake na waandishi wa habari katika mkutano wake na wanahabari hao kuelekea katika mchezo wa Chelsea dhidi ya Steaua Bucharest.
Bosi huyo wa Chelsea hakufurahishwa na swali juu ya kumuaacha Kevin de Bruyne katika kikosi chake katika hatua ya makundi.
Having already been criticised for leaving out last season's star man Juan Mata this term, Mourinho came under question again having previously left the Belgian out the squad to face Tottenham last weekend.
But Mourinho reacted with fury when asked about De Bruyne's current squad status.
Mourinho said: 'It’s amazing because
nobody asks me about Mata and now you ask about Kevin de Bruyne. You are
not interested in the players who play only those who don’t.
'Only
11 can play. I try to decide by what they do on the pitch and in
training. Frank Lampard beside me knows me for nine years and he knows I
make mistakes but I try to be honest.

After
a half-hearted wave, Mourinho then walked out leaving the already
present Frank Lampard to see out the rest of the press conference. The
incident came just three days after Mourinho had referred to Tottenham
boss Andre Villas-Boas as acting like a child.
Mourinho also confirmed that Eden Hazard also did not travel with the squad for the Group stage clash.
