Jose Mourinho Only Spoke Twice to Kevin De Bruyne at Chelsea

Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has revealed that Jose Mourinho only spoke to him twice during his time at Chelsea.

The 24-year-old Belgian international move to Stamford Bridge in January 2012 but failed to make a significant impact with the club and was sold two years later.

Having spent a season on loan and plenty of time on the substitutes' bench, De Bruyne has now claimed his relationship with the "Special One" was anything but special.

I didn't get any explanation. I only talked with him twice, Mourinho.

That was before the Champions League game against Basel, where he said I was doing better, in his opinion and that I would get my chance.
