Arsene Wenger Threatens To Show Mourinho 'The Real Push'

 

Arsene Wenger "lost the plot" according to the national press when questioned as to why he pushed Jose Mourinho during Arsenal's 2-0 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The French boss exited his technical area during the first half after Gary Cahill's lunging tackle sent Alexis Sanchez spiralling to the ground. Wenger, who "went to Sanchez to see how badly he was injured," shoved an oncoming Mourinho.


Questioned about the incident, Wenger told journalists it was not a real push, per the aforementioned article
"You would see if I really try to push (you). Come on. Honestly, I don't listen to what he says. I trust you to teach me all the moral lessons in the next two weeks, and I can accept that. I'm long enough in the game to see things the right way". 

This combative attitude was typical of Sunday's clash. Both teams could have seen multiple red cards in a fixture that was heated from the off. Wenger believes Cahill should have been dismissed, while he also pinpointed Oscar and Branislav Ivanovic for their questionable tactics.

"Oscar was lucky to stay on the pitch with his repeated fouling and he was only booked in the 88th minute," said Wenger, per Ashton. "He was purposely fouling. Then there is Ivanovic as well with bad fouls, but it’s down to the referee, not to me."
Mourinho believes Arsenal should have finished with three dismissals, such was the nature of the encounter
