This rivalry is lit. That
specialist in failure comment still hurts. Wenger says Mourinho must deal with
the pressure he is under.
Arsenal and Chelsea will face off
on Saturday in a match brewing with bitter rivalry, with Wenger’s men the
better of Mourinho’s.
Chelsea are currently languishing
in 17th with just one win from five games, while Arsenal are six points ahead
of the blues.
Mourinho and Wenger have a
rivalry that is so entertaining and now Wenger feels Mourinho must deal with
the pressure he currently faces.
He told reporters:” These are
situations that are difficult to assess. It’s less enjoyable when it
doesn’t go well but every manager in the game for a long time has to do deal
with that.
“People come to football to watch
football and all the rest is secondary. What is important is what people will
see at 12.45 and let’s focus on that.
“I focus on what I love which is
football and respect everybody and all the rest doesn’t affect me. What is
important is football for me.”
Mourinho famously branded Wenger
a “specialist in failure” in 2014, but Wenger refused to comment on Chelsea’s
apparent decline – instead insisting he will leave such judgements “to the
specialists”.
“We know our position at the end
of the season will depend on how we do in the big games,” he added.
“I do not consider too much where
Chelsea stand. I focus on us performing well tomorrow morning.”
