Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho ended his media silence following his side's 1-0 Serie A defeat to Sampdoria but barely responded to post-match questions. The Portuguese tactician's self-imposed blackout came after he was sent off the bench in Inter's 2-1 victory at Cagliari last weekend. "I'm no longer in press silence because my club has a contract with the televisions and I will respect it," he told Sky Italia. "If there wasn't, I would have kept not talking. Why did this all start? I'm keeping the reason to myself." Mourinho spoke to the media after Inter's first defeat of the season but was tight-lipped over some tactical decisions he took on Saturday. "You ask me why I took off (Mario) Balotelli. I'm the coach, it's me who decides and I don't have to explain my decisions," he told Sky Italia. Mourinho also refused to comment on Sampdoria's display, saying this was the business of their coach Luigi Del Neri. In one of the few answers he gave, the former Chelsea boss said the injury of Wesley Sneijder and Thiago Motta affected Inter's display. "You say (Samuel) Eto'o was too far back. This is your opinion, but we were playing without Sneijder and Motta so it's obvious that the team lost something in midfield and in its game between the lines."
