Belgium manager Marc Wilmots believes Romelu Lukaku should not get distracted with off-field issues with Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho. Mourinho recently stated the 20 year old should explain why he joined Everton on a season-long loan from the Stamford Bridge side.
In comments reported by Het Nieuwsblad, Wilmots is quoted as saying: "He has to stop talking about tactics. He wants to play himself, obviously.
"Mourinho has already said he talks too much. I agree. His club decides where he plays, I decide the tactics in the national team.
"I hope he understands."
Meanwhile, Wilmots says he does not blame Mourinho for Belgium international Kevin De Bruyne's lack of game time with the Blues this season.
"I'm not angry at Mourinho. He's doing a good job and he has a lot of good players.
"If I would have the same quality in my group, I'm not sure if I would play De Bruyne either.
"Willian, Hazard, Oscar, Schurrle, Mata and De Bruyne: that is six top players for three places.
"I have already talked to Mourinho and told him I wouldn't interfere."
