Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has hit out at the media following a recent story in which he appeared to criticise his team.

The Portuguese was quoted on Tuesday by a French news outlet complaining about a lack of strikers in his squad.

Mourinho also questioned the age of Samuel Eto'o, who joined the club from Anzhi Makhachkala in the summer.

However, the Blues coach has now slammed reporters for broadcasting the story, claiming that it was a private conversation that should never have come to light.

"I think you should be embarrassed as media professionals because by the ethical point of view I don't think you are happy your colleague is happy to be able to record a private conversation and to make it public," he told reporters.

"I am not defending what I am saying, I am attacking something that is from your professional area. That person showed what he is or what he does not know about the job. The comment is not a good one and not one I would do in a serious, official way. First of all because I don't make fun, second if there are managers in the world that defend their players I am one of them.

"Third because Samuel Eto'o is Samuel Eto'o. Four times a Champions League winner. It was with him I had the best ever season of my career. It was a funny conversation between me and someone not in the football world. It is a disgrace someone is taping a private conversation."

Chelsea return to action on Wednesday when they face Galatasaray in Turkey for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
