Mourinho has a special personality - Andre Schurrle

Andre Schurrle has said that he is looking forward to working with Jose Mourinho who he believes has a ‘special personality.’

Schurrle became Jose Mourinho’s first signing since returning at Chelsea, and the 22-year-old is keen to make his way in to the Chelsea squad.

Schurrle was quoted by The Sun as saying: “I first met Jose Mourinho at Michael Ballack’s farewell game in Leipzig last week. He was in charge of my team, the World Select side.

“We met before the game, he shook my hand and told me ‘Everything has gone through, and you are my player’. That was a wonderful feeling. My first impression of him was that he truly has a special personality. He is a cool guy as well.

“I spoke about him with my national team-mates Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil, who have played under him for Real Madrid. They both told me he is the best coach they have ever worked with.”

Schurrle also claimed that he is not afraid of suffering the same fate as Marko Marin, and said: I don’t fear suffering the same fate as Marko and just being a replacement. I will try to make my way at Chelsea.”
