FA concedes Wembley pitch was not up to standard for Community Shield
“In my first period, my personal relationship (with Abramovich) was very good, (but) professionally we had some interferences and a disagreement with some ideas”, Mourinho told Sky Sports News. Loic Remy, starting because Diego Costa was once again feeling his hamstring, picked out the Brazilian with a brilliant cross, but he headed wastefully over the crossbar from inside the six-yard box.
The Colombia forward is getting a second shot at proving himself in the Premier League on loan from Monaco as he fills the void left by Didier Drogba’s departure. “I think he is a very bright goalkeeper as well”. His movement, his strength, his finishing’s been different class.
The signing of Cech undoubtedly makes Arsenal a stronger outfit, and something that Cahill was quick to recognise that he thinks “they’ll be one of many pushing at the top.” “But I’ve worked to prevent it occurring”.
The German midfielder missed the majority of last season due to an ankle injury sustained whilst playing in the Champions League the year before.
Mourinho’s confidence that he can return Falcao to his best is supported by his knowledge of the player.
The pair refused to shake hands with each other after Arsenal’s 1-0 win, with Mourinho congratulating every member of the Gunners’ team before walking away when Wenger began to approach.
“I don’t know is the truth”.
“Five is not enough”.
Afterwards the FA even accepted Mourinho’s criticism of the Wembley pitch, which it said was not as “mature” as it would have liked. Arsenal and Chelsea met in the Community Shield which the Gunners won by a solitary goal. “That’s our weakness”.
But Terry sees it differently and, asked if the result should be taken as an early indication of a switch in the balance of power, the former England defender said: “I don’t think so”. “I just want to play, to dribble, to do some skills”.
The 19-year-old started for Chelsea in matches against Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion at the end of last season, but he was heavily criticised by Mourinho following a post-season game in Australia.
In this meeting it was outlined that poor behavior and squabbling from club managers and assistants in the technical area will no longer be tolerated and huge fines along with stadium bans may also be sanctioned.
