Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has taunted Arsenal partner Arsene Wenger as the Blues get ready to play Manchester City on Sunday. City boss Manuel Pellegrini marked another contract as of late in the wake of completing a second in the league last season. Mourinho was asked whether he is surprised over the deal, he said, “Why? Some other clubs, they have disappointed for 15 years and the manager is the same.”
Stockpile last won the Premier League under Wenger in 2003-04. Yet, the Frenchman, who has been responsible for the Gunners since 1996, has driven his side to FA Cup triumphs for the last two seasons. Wenger likewise accomplished triumph over a Chelsea side oversaw by Mourinho without precedent for 14 endeavors when Arsenal won the Community Shield in this current season’s drapery raiser. There is a background marked by clashes between the pair, with Mourinho asserting Wenger was “an expert in disappointment” in February a year ago, while the Arsenal boss has already blamed his Chelsea partner for being “ill bred”. In the interim, Mourinho says Sunday’s game with Manchester City is not pivotal at this early phase of the Premier League season. The dominant champions head to keep going season’s runners-up on the back of a 2-2 home draw with Swansea City in their opening game.
Mourinho said, “I cannot say it’s crucial, it’s decisive, or it’s very, very important. But it is two title contenders, and three points.” Manchester City won the title in 2013-14 preceding completing eight points behind the Blues last season. Yet, Mourinho has played down the centrality of this current weekend’s experience, with the season only one game old. He further said, “The season is very long. Thirty-eight matches is an eternity, a marathon which started last week and ends in around 10 months. If you can get three points and your opponent zero it is important. But for sure I am not going to say the game decides anything for the winner or anything for the loser.”
Chilean further said, “We are not thinking about the title in the second game.
“But we are thinking about trying to win our points at home, especially as we are playing against the champions and one of the teams that has a lot of chances to win the title.
“It is the same as Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham – all the big teams.”
