Mourinho At It Again! By Demola Aluko

 

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is at it again! Not with Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini, but this time with Arsenal manager Asene Wenger after calling the Gunner’s boss ” a specialist in failure”.

It was supposed to be Valentine’s day, but there was no love lost between the two London based managers after Mourinho responded to a comment made by Wenger during a press conference.

When asked to share his opinion on the reason why other managers apart from himself and Manchester City’s boss Pellegrini, are saying they can’t win the tittle, Wenger said: ” Its fear to fail. I have nothing more to say. If you are not in a race, you can not lose it.”

Jose Mourinho was made to respond to French man’s comments hours later and the word ”failure” seemed to upset him.

”He is a specialist in failure. I’m not. So, he’s right, because I’m afraid to fail, because I don’t fail many times.”

” The reality is, he’s a specialist, because eight years without a piece of silverware, that’s failure and if I do that in Chelsea, eight years, I’ll be gone and don’t come back.”

”In eight years you have to build so much and I don’t want eight years. I just want four.” Mourinho said

The two managers have history of trading words, and this could be traced back to Mourinho’s first spell at Chelsea. It would be recalled that in 2005, the Portuguese described Wenger as a ”voyeur”, a statement he has since said he regrets in his career.

Added to Mourinho’s black book in recent time is Manchester City’s manager Pellegrini. The Chelsea boss has constantly attacked either the City manager, going as far as calling on UEFA to ban the club from spending. He also incited the FA to ban midfielder, Yaya Toure for an incident in City’s league match against Norwich last weekend.

Chelsea face Manchester City in another titanic FA Cup encounter this Saturday.
