”That’s How Mourinho Talks” Pellegrini

Manchester City manager, Manuel Pellegrini has finally responded to at Jose Mourinho’s claims that City are big spenders and that they along side leaders Arsenal are favorites to win the Premier League tittle this year.

Responding for the first time since the Chelsea manager’s utterances, Pellegrini  has opted to return fire, implying that Chelsea’s significant outlay in the transfer market renders Mourinho’s remarks debateable.

“This is the team that has spent most money in the last 10 years, it is the team that spent most money this year, and the team that spent the most money in the transfer window. So, little, but rich.” Pellegrini.

Chelsea beat Pellegrini’s team 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Monday night to draw level with second-placed City on points, two behind leaders Arsenal.

However, Mourinho insisted after the match that City and Arsenal remained favorites for the title, describing his side as a “little horse that needs milk and needs to learn how to jump”.

Pellegrini went on to say that, having done the double over City, Chelsea are clearly in contention for the title, despite Mourinho’s remarks.

“He has shown in the last two games he has a strong team with some great players,” said the City boss.

“I think he is favourite. He thinks, if he wins, he will have the merits but, if he loses, he does not have responsibility.”

“It is the way he acts. Everyone acts the way he thinks is better for the team.”

“I think it will be very close with Chelsea and Arsenal.

“Arsenal are the favourites because they have two points’ lead in the table.

“Of the 24 games we have played, Arsenal have been top of the table for 16 or 17. They have an important advantage.”
