Disagreements with owner Roman Abramovich are over: Jose Mourinho
Arsene Wenger admits Sunday’s Community Shield victory over Chelsea has given his Arsenal side a huge lift heading into the new season.
Zouma is quoted as saying by Goal: “There’s no impact for the season, they won and we were unlucky”. Congratulations to them.
“No I can’t say that [that Costa is no more susceptible to injury than anyone else]”, he said at the official Premier League launch, according to BBC Sport.
In pre-season thus far, only the likes of David Ospina, Danny Welbeck and Alexis Sanchez have been missing and with most of the squad fit for once, you can really appreciate how much strength in depth the Gunners now boast across the park.
“As a group of players we’ve been together for a good number of years, so there’s a real team spirit and sense of togetherness”.
“Red Bulls and were not happy, so it’s normal that we always try to play for a result, the Community Shield has more motivation than a friendly”.
The winger’s powerful finish was Arsenal’s first goal against Chelsea in 506 minutes, and ended the Blues’ eight-match unbeaten run against them. “Chelsea have been champions four times in the last decade, Arsenal a fantastic club with great players, Liverpool an wonderful investment, Man City the squad is to laugh but also with two Premier League’s and Man United with everything in the history, the players, the investment”.
“Smaller teams are getting some of the best players from some countries”. But the actual, overlying message from the Portuguese manager is very complementary: He was stumped by Arsenal’s tactics.
After two weird years could Rooney finally show us that he is a top-quality striker.
What came out of the dressing room was a new Arsenal, tactically speaking.
Of course, Arsene Wenger defended his tactics as well.
“From 2016/17 we are playing some games on Friday nights, but we won’t move individual fixtures as you can’t do it for everybody. I’m proud of that”, (The Mirror). It was Wenger’s first win over Mourinho in 14 attempts, per Mirror Online’s John Cross.
“I think what other teams are doing will make a different Premier League“.
“I have to be honest and say that it is a bit of a concern”, the Special One told talkSPORT.
Mourinho also accused Arsenal of changing their approach in order to defend their lead.
That’s the same as the manager on a daily basis.
