DON’T CALL ME SCHURRLE
Jose Mourinho has been described as ‘brutal’ through Andre Schurrle, the former Chelsea star who claimed that Special One had brought him to the breaking point of football abandonment.
Retired Germany Schurrle has attacked Mourinho’s control and blames his time on Les Bleus for wasting trust.
Tottenham’s current manager, Mourinho, signed to the end of Bayer Leverkusen in 2013, at the beginning of his tenure at Stamford Bridge.
Schurrle, 29, was angry in a YouTube interview with German television presenter Joko Winterscheidt: “José Mourinho is a brutal guy. I wondered exactly what I was doing.
“How can you just treat me the way you did and what you did to people?In retrospect, I realize what I was looking to do and how you worked to achieve it.
“At that moment, I couldn’t settle for what he was looking for from me, with his toughness and the mental strain he created.
“It was rarely incredibly complicated for me. He came home after having a verbal exchange with him, thinking he couldn’t take it anymore.
CECH MATE?
Frank Lampard has shown that kepa will be lost to Manchester United due to injury.
As Edouard Mendy is expected to start in the goal, the blues boss will have to opt for Willy Hair or give Petr Cech a surprise appearance from the bank.

STAY CALM AND KEPA ON
Here’s why Chelsea felt the desire to ask Petr Cech to come out of retirement. . . this is a smart read for Kepa.
MAGIC THREE
Hakim Ziyech has appointed three Chelsea players he is looking forward to playing with.
The 27-year-old, despite everything, made his league debut in a 3-3 draw with Southampton after recovering from injury.
He joins an incredibly advanced line after Frank Lampard’s summer madness.
Informed via the subway, Ziyech said: “I have two other options, three, depending on what the coach thinks. For me, it doesn’t matter where I play.
“Kai [Havertz] and Timo [Werner] are two wonderful and have shown it in the afterlife with what they did in their clubs beyond.
“Christian [Pulisic] is also one of the greatest talents. Everyone has a lot of quality and Christian has been here longer than we have. You’ve noticed what he’s capable of doing on the field. It’s just a crazy end.
“For me, it’s exciting to paint with them and I don’t care where I play on the field. “
SILVA UNDERSTANDING
Thiago Silva shared his own about Petr Cech’s surprise inclusion in the Premier League.
Despite retiring at the end of the 2018–19 season, Frank Lampard has registered him as a player for the next campaign.
And his veteran colleague Silva talked about his “beautiful story. “
He told Esporte Interativo: “He’s a guy we shouldn’t give up on.
“His story is very footballous. We talked a little bit, he speaks a little French, so we have a little more discussion than usual. “
“And the other day I saw him exercise and asked him why he exercised, if it was because he liked it or if he had a chance to be with us.
He said he was training, so if he needed it, whatever the chance, he can play.
“I think it ended his career, I was even surprised at that moment,” he told me. But he’s a guy who has a brilliant career at Chelsea, he’s an idol.
“And given your motivation to help us when possible, we’re glad you’re here. In our daily lives, he is a very vital guy, he talks a lot to each and every player.
“Your story speaks for itself, we only have it as a reference and we do our job. I think he’s ready. From the education I’ve seen, he’s well prepared. “
ED FORT
Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has revealed that he nearly left football when he was out of work.
The Blues Stopper’s wife pregnant with her son when the Senegalese foreigner thought about hanging up the gloves.
After his career at French Minnows Cherbourg in 2011, Mfinishy spent three seasons there before taking a year off at the end of his contract to “contemplate his future”.
Describing his time of unemployment, he said, “At that moment, when I was given my agent’s message at the time, I started returning to the club where I was educated when I was young.
“I with the reservists there each and every morning. In the afternoon, I would go to the gym where I would go to the box with my brother to practice my shooting stop.
“I had unemployment aid at the time, so I may be completely in football.
“But it’s incredibly complicated and my wife is expecting our first baby.
“Unemployment assistance will not be enough for us. We needed something else, so I started looking for another job.
Then I had a chance to move on to Marseilles and I had a check there.
“It was just a consultation to give everything to have a chance to sign up for this club. Luckily it worked for me and when it did it was a relief to me.
“A year without football is incredibly long and I had a lot of doubts at the time. “
NO SPAIN WITHOUT A GAME
Chelsea are in a position to let flop goalkeeper Kepa pass by and could send him back to Seville, according to reports.
The Spaniard has been replaced through Edouard Mendy and the return to his home country could be in January.

Last week, he scored three goals in a 3–3 draw with Southampton.
But, in a primary boost, Edouard Mendy has a compatibility to return, meaning that the salary cap of 71. 6 million pounds of kepa Arrizabalaga played his last match with Chelsea.
Thiago Silva played against Sevilla and will maintain his position at the centre of the defence against Man Utd.
That’s how Chelsea will take on the Red Devils.
CACH IT OUT
Petr Cech has shown that his sharp reflexes are intact when he joined Chelsea training.
Les Bleus have taken the shocking resolve to come with the Czech striker on their 25-player Premier League team as an “emergency replacement. “
Cech, 38, retired in 2019 after a four-year period at Arsenal.
Since then he had returned to Stamford Bridge as a technician and advisor.
But after staying in shape, he is now boss and former teammate Frank Lampard.
With his return to the confirmed feud, Cech gave up his glasses and suit for the gloves and helmet with logo while on his way to paint in Cobham.

When Van Basten called him a fool for rejecting Hollande’s already been called, Ziyech, 27, won’t take it lightly.
At the time, he said, “Van Basten is a smart decision but a very sensible coach.
If you know other people or have a big name, you’ll be back at work. Quality issues with me. “
Ziyech nevertheless had the final say when he helped Morocco succeed at the 2018 World Cup when the Netherlands did not qualify.
Yesterday, the Star of Blues added: “I what I did at the time.
“It was simply the way I saw things and I’m not afraid to have my opinion and I speak with my heart.
“I don’t care what people think of me. You can take it any way you want.
“At the end of the day, I have confidence in myself and still believe in my own strengths, so I didn’t really mind what other clubs and others think.
“If you play on the field, that’s why top clubs buy you or not. “

“For me [being in the most sensible way] can’t get early enough, but if you realistically think I’ve been away for a while, the season was more sensitive to me last year, so I haven’t played for a while too. .
“The injury came at an unfortunate time, so it’s vital for me now to get back on track and rebuild everything.
