J.Mourinho defends himself: the lies spread about me regarding the sale of M.Salah

"Chelsea" fans shed a tear - just a few years ago, their former striker Mohamed Salah shines in the ranks of "Liverpool".

"The Blues" supporters started a discussion - who is to blame for letting go of one of the best footballers on the planet at the moment.

The press attention turned to the then coach of the English team, Jose Mourinho, but he defended himself, claiming he is completely innocent.

"This is the first time I speak publicly about this, because lies are being spread about me again. People say that I am responsible for M.Salah's sale, but it is the opposite. I bought Mohamed," Mourinho said.

"He arrived when I was in charge of the team, but back then Salah was very young, not psychologically ready, entered a completely different culture and got lost.

I decided to loan Salah, and the player himself encouraged this step. He wanted more time on the field, to mature, and that's why he went to "Fiorentina".

And later, "Chelsea" decided to sell the player, did you understand?" - the coach said.
