Ex-Chelsea defender Sinclair: Mourinho trying to take pressure off players

Former Chelsea defender Frank Sinclair can understand Jose Mourinho's strop at yesterday's Champions League media conference.

The 'Tetchy One' walked out after becoming fed-up with questions about Kevin de Bruyne's absence.

Sinclair, now in charge of Colwyn Bay, told talkSPORT: "He's frustrated at Chelsea's average start.

"The pressure is on and maybe that's his way of taking the stress off the players. He's done that before.

"I'm a bit concerned about the reaction though," he added. "He would expect those sorts of questions because he should know what the press is like. I think he's just a bit annoyed."
