Gullit, a pundit in the Sky studio, said he believed the reason for Mourinho’s harsh treatment of the goalscoring midfielder had more sinister undertones and was due to personal issues off the football pitch. But Mourinho claimed Mata took his removal from the first team in the right manner and stated that the Dutch legend and former Chelsea manager had no right to comment after limited success in his most recent years as a coach. ‘For the moment he took it the way I want,’ said Mourinho. ‘He trained this morning and my assistant that was training with them told me Tuesday, of course he plays from the beginning against Swindon. The people not playing today they are going to play. Juan, David Luiz, Michael Essien, Cesar Azpilicueta, and I hope he tells me on the pitch, “You are wrong, I’m the best and I have to play every game”. My idea is that. I’m waiting for a professional reaction. ‘The past is the past. You have to be judged for what you do now. I gave Juan the chance to play from the beginning against Aston Villa, from the beginning (Michael) Essien didn’t play one single minute and I left him out of the Champions League list. ‘If he proves that I’m wrong, I will be the Happy One, because I want him to be fantastic. ‘Ruud Gullit is a different pundit because he was also a manager. I think he shouldn’t be a very proud manager for what he did in the last three years.’ ~RJ
