Mourinho: Arsenal ‘left philosophy in dressing room’

It was the first time in 14 attempts that Wenger had got the upper hand over Mourinho and although he denied it meant anything to him, he said it could give his players a boost. “In my second season we did it and in my third season if you are close, you can always do it”. They claimed Barclays Asia Trophy 2015 in Singapore by winning all four matches of the competition against Everton, Lyon, Singapore XI and Wolfsburg. “When you see them walk up, no matter if it’s a friendly or a Community Shield, it’s a trophy at the end of the day”. It’s disgusting. It’s not nice.

“We’ve not lost many at Wembley, so it could be a blessing in disguise and a wake-up call”.

“Apart from that, now starts the championship and we have to turn up with the needed performance and the demanded performance in every single game”, he said.

“All-round we played really well”, Oxlade-Chamberlain said as he reflected on the win against the Blues.

“We saw the intelligence of his passing and the fact that he added some steel to his game which was needed, certainly in the Premier League”.

Chelsea’s manager Jose Mourinho says it will be the usual top five clubs challenging for the title this season.

“But I also have my opinion, different from your opinion”. So, for us, Petr Cech is a top signing.

“I have to be honest and say that it is a bit of a concern”, he told talkSPORT.

“[Losing’s] terrible, whether it’s against my kids or anyone”.

I wonder did Bayern Munich see former manager Louis van Gaal coming when they arranged the Schweinsteiger deal?

Yet Mourinho has aimed a couple of barbs at Arsenal during pre-season. The last time it faced Chelsea in this particular match was in 2005.

Gary Cahill resumed his central defensive partnership with Terry, but was unconcerned about their form and instead maintained that they should be judged from Saturday, when the league season begins.

Louis Van Gaal’s second season could be a defining one, many predict the club to come higher than third but they still lack a lot of attacking flair, something that United teams are known to do.

Schweinsteiger is in the Keane mould too, he’ll demand the ball, he will dictate play, he will marshall the troops. If we won’t do business, we don’t do business. “I believe in a job where you have to respect people and respect everybody”.

“As a football coach, thinking about my players, my squad and my coaching role, I don’t want to think about the transfer window”.
