Andre Schurrle (left) feels Jose Mourinho did not trust
him at the end of this Chelsea spell
Former Chelsea forward Andre Schurrle says he left the
club because of a breakdown in his relationship with
manager Jose Mourinho.
The 24-year-old signed on a permanent deal for
Wolfsburg in February, and has revealed that he felt
Mourinho no longer trusted him.
Schurrle also believes it is difficult for young players to
cut it in Chelsea's first team and suggested that Eden
Hazard is treated as a favourite; always assured of his
first-team place.
The Germany international said: "There was a time in my
second season when I felt I didn't have the manager's
trust anymore.
"I don't know why Mourinho didn't trust me. It all felt a
bit weird to me. 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.

"It's difficult for young players at Chelsea because
they're a big team with big stars. It's not easy to play
every match.
"It's even harder for the wingers as there are only two in
the team and Eden plays always, as he's the best player
in the league.
"So you have one position on the right wing which was
between Willian, Oscar, myself, sometimes Juan Mata,
occasionally Kevin De Bruyne.
Eden [Hazard] is given more freedom so
the other winger has to work even harder...
and Eden deserves it as he creates
everything up front.

"The other thing is that Eden is given more freedom so
the other winger has to work even harder. You have to
work for that freedom, and Eden deserves it as he
creates everything up front.
"He scores goals and makes assists so it's right he should
have that freedom."
