Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic has revealed an irate Jose Mourinho refused to talk to his players after last weekend's 2-2 home draw with Swansea.





Speaking to the ​London Evening Standard, Matic admitted that it's a far worse experience for the team's players to be given silence by Mourinho in the aftermath of a match, rather than to receive 'hairdryer' style treatment.





Though Chelsea blew their lead on the day and had a man sent off, Mourinho was caught up in a storm involving the club's medical staff in the aftermath - which has now seen club doctor Eva Carneiro demoted and removed from the club's touchline for the next match with Manchester City.





However, Matic didn't want to get involved in the subject and instead issued his manager with praise: ​ “The manager didn’t speak to us on Saturday. He has done that before and sometimes that’s worse than when he is shouting at us. It is worse when he is quiet with us and it would be better for him to shout!



​ “He always wants to win. You can see every game, if he could run on the pitch to play, he would. His character is like this, we know that. We try to do our best to follow him and his ideas.







“Each game is different. It is emotional. But on the training ground he is a different person. He is quiet, he always speaks with us and we all have a good relationship with him. Every coach has a moment where he is more serious in public and that’s the same for him.





"I have been back at the club for a year and a half, I feel great in the team and have never had a problem with him. I think he keeps control of everything and he is great for this club.”





Regarding his long-term future, Matic revealed that he would like to go in to management once his playing days are over.





He added: “Football is my life and I want to stay in it. I haven’t started studying my badges yet, it is something I will do in the future. In my career I have played under some great coaches and I try to take something from all of them. I can learn a lot of things from Jose. I can use him for that!





“It is good to train under him - his sessions are always interesting. I will start to take notes and read more about the game because it is good to compare and to learn.





“Of course everyone wants to be coach of Chelsea and it would be great if I reached that level one day. Also Benfica is a great club. But I still have 10 years of my playing career left. I’m 27 so have a lot more to give.”
