After Chelsea’s 2 – 0 victory over Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, Jose Mourinho, though refusing to shake hands with Arsene Wenger after the match, insisted that it was “no problem” (referring to the slight clash they had).
‘The technical area is very clear – I have mine, he has his and he cannot come to mine, especially to put pressure on the referee to give a red card to my player.
‘So I just told him “leave my technical area and don’t come back please”,’ Mourinho explained.
He asserted confidently that the referee should have sent three Arsenal players off the pitch for bad tackle.
‘Arsenal could have finished with eight men, because it is a red card for Koscielny, it is a double yellow card for Chambers in the first half, and clear was a red card for Welbeck,’ he said.
However, Mourinho didn’t show oppression by the referee’s decision.
‘I think the referee, from a technical point of view, had a fantastic performance in a difficult, technical, fast match with lots of runs behind,’ he said.
