"I know Scolari very well and he talks a lot with the players," City's Brazilian striker told the Sunday People.
"I don't understand why some Chelsea players have not accepted him and that has been the key to irregular results of recent weeks.
"I did not expect the sacking of Scolari, but so many unexpected things happen in English football.
"Felipe is a great coach and he showed that with Brazil and Portugal. They have not given him the necessary time at Chelsea.
"It is another club and I should not get too involved, but I think they have got it wrong."
