Instead of focusing on De Bruyne, Mourinho asked the reporters to focus on the players who are in the squad. It was not actually an outburst from Mourinho, but a controlled outflow of emotions following repeated questions about players being omitted in the last few weeks. He has had to answer a lot about Juan Mata (he has been very honest in those interviews) in recent weeks.
Once again, he does sound very honest about De Bruyne, who put on a really poor performance against third division Swindon Town. Just like Mata, there is no doubt that he will be back in the squad if he works hard. For now, attention will shift towards Mourinho and it will probably allow the team to perform without any pressure.
So you are not interested in the players that are playing? You are interested in the players that are not playing.
But you have this tendency to only ask about the guys that are not selected. See you tomorrow.”
The king of box office – José Mourinho – is back.
