Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has criticised his former striker Didier Drogba following the striker’s comments on Chelsea’s form this season.
In an interview with UK Sun last Thursday, the Ivorian had suggested there was a lack of big characters in the dressing room at Stamford Bridge but his former coach has accused him of stoking up controversy.
The Portuguese coach accused his former striker of making controversial statements in order to sell books.
“When you speak because you want to sell books, I don’t read. I don’t read,” Mourinho said.
“I like good interviews. I like interviews from big guys like Didier with good journalists, newspapers or television. But this is not an interview. It was to sell books.
“It doesn’t disappoint me. It was just the reality. It was just to sell books. I can analyse Didier’s interview with pleasure, but not Didier selling books.”
Drogba, while promoting his autobiography, said in an interview that the Chelsea dressing room was full of big names, big players and big characters during his time at the club.
The Ivorian pointed out that only John Terry remained at Stamford Bridge from that group and called for other players to develop a similar mentality.
