Mourinho finally reveals root of Lukaku problem

Mourinho finally reveals root of Lukaku problem
31.07.2014 18:20
The Belgium international signed a five-year contract with the Toffees, with whom he had a successful loan spell last season scoring 16 goals in 33 appearances, after a club record deal was agreed.

Lukaku, who played just 15 times in three years at Stamford Bridge, has not enjoyed the best of relationships with Mourinho after disagreements about his loan spell last summer and then where his future lay in the long-term.Last season, Mourinho had this cryptic message for the striker: "Romelu likes to speak. He’s a young boy who likes to speak. But the only thing he didn’t say is why he went to Everton on loan. That’s the only thing he never says. And my last contact with him was to tell him exactly that. ‘Why do you never say why you are not here?’ ”But now Mourinho has revealed all. Speaking after Chelsea's 3-1 friendly win over Vitesse, he said:“The thinking was, first of all, the fact that Romelu was always very clear with us that in his mentality and his approach he was not highly motivated to come to a competitive situation at Chelsea. He wanted to play for Chelsea but clearly only as the first choice striker - and at a club of our dimension it’s very difficult to promise a player that status.“That reduced, immediately, his desire to come to us. After that Everton came with an important offer and because we want to be inside the Financial Fair Play rules, you have to analyse these situations.”(uk.eurosport.yahoo.com)Bakudaily.az
