Good Guy Juan Mata almost offended by being asked trick Jose Mourinho question

A lot of football interviews follow generic and formulaic patterns.
For example: A reporter wants a positive quote from a player regarding his manager, so he asks:

‘Would you say Manager X is one of the best managers you’ve ever worked with?’
The player has only worked with a handful of managers, so he’s not going out on a limb by saying ‘Yes’, which is what the answer is 99 times out of 100.
This Goal reporter took the very opposite route when interviewing Juan Mata on Spain duty today.
The reporter asked Mata – notoriously benevolent and Good Guy Juan Mata – if he was experiencing any schadenfreude over Mourinho’s current struggles, considering that the Portuguese has forced Mata out of the club by dropping him.
‘How is your relationship with Mourinho? Are you one of those people who is happy that Mourinho is losing games?’
Good guy Mata looked almost offended, and had to a double take and ask for the question to be repeated, before emphatically replying:
‘No no, I’m not that sort of guy.’
We knew you weren’t Juan.
But did the reporter seriously think he’d get a ‘Yes’ out of Mata here?!
