FIFA awards 'not good for football' - Mourinho

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho raised
a few eyebrows on Friday when he said he had
no interest in awards like FIFA's FIFPro World XI
list for 2014.
The outspoken Portuguese made his comments
despite the fact two of his players, Belgium
winger Eden Hazard and Spain midfielder Cesc
Fabregas, are on the shortlist to make the World
XI team.
"When I see these trophies I think they are not
good for football. I don't care about them,"
Mourinho told a news conference on the eve of
Premier League leaders Chelsea's visit to 14th-
placed Sunderland.
"Sometimes it looks like we're looking for stars...
looking for people more important than other
people and this is not the culture we want in this
club."
Mourinho believes Hazard and Fabregas share his
views on these type of awards.
