Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho mocks Arsene Wenger for winless streak against him

Jose Mourinho stepping up mind games ahead of the Community Shield match between Chelsea and Arsenal

Jose Mourinho has taunted Arsene Wenger for the Arsenal manager’s inability to win against a Chelsea side managed by him, The Guardian reports. The Frenchman has failed to get the better of Mourinho in 13 attempts and the Portuguese believes Wenger should have done something to arrest the trend by now.

Arsenal and Chelsea are set to take on each other in the Community Shield on Sunday and Mourinho has stepped up his mind games ahead of the English football season opener. The Special One had kicked off the war or words by suggesting that Arsenal had spent the same amount as Chelsea over the last few years.

Wenger responded by reminding that his side have developed players rather than just buying them, the remark an obvious jibe at Chelsea’s failure to bring in players from their youth setup into the senior team.

Mourinho has now chosen his impressive record against Wenger to do the talking.

“I think I would ask myself: Why?” Mourinho said. “I would try to answer, not because of a mental block but because I would want to try to find solutions to help my team to do it – try to find a different way, try to find the reasons why it goes all the time against my team.”

Mourinho was quick to remind that the slightest resemblance to Wenger's record he has against any other manager was a run of two matches.

“I think I lost twice against Tony Pulis. I lost against Crystal Palace and against West Brom,” he said, adding that he would never allow such a situation to develop much further.

Mourinho, who has won the Champions League twice with Porto and Inter Milan and has league titles in Portugal, England, Italy and Spain, also quipped that Wenger lacks a winning mentality, by suggesting he hates to lose even in training.

“In competitive situations in training, if one team is winning by three goals, finish,” he said. “It means that the ones that are losing are not training well, so if you don’t train well, you don’t train. I did that once in Canada [during the pre-season tour]. I ended the training.”

Mourinho though also felt that even if Arsenal do win the match on Sunday, he wouldn‘t read too much into the result. “Arsenal won the Community Shield against the champions Manchester City and they finished third. I don’t think it has a relation to the rest of the season,” he said.
