Chelsea attacker Andre Schurrle has discussed Jose Mourinho’s impact on him and his team-mates, saying that losing is not part of his philosophy.
The German international was signed by Mourinho as he returned to Stamford Bridge from Real Madrid in 2013 and has been a regular starter this season.
And the tricky forward has praised Mourinho’s impact on his performances and his team-mates’.
“Jose Mourinho has taught me a different style of play and a different way of thinking to reach the world-class level someday,” Schurrle told SportBild.
“To him, finishing second is a failure. He doesn’t know the word ‘losing’. That’s how he holds his talk before the matches. His thinking is impressive – as impressive as the way he gets his message across.
“He challenges you to be robust on the pitch, to play like a man. To commit a foul. I feel much better since joining Chelsea and I have become much more confident.”
