"The war of words" continues: J. Mourinho insists he respects A. Wenger's past © EuroFootball.com

The battle of words between the two strategists of London teams does not end.

"Chelsea" strategist Jose Mourinho now claims that Arsene Wenger does not deserve respect for his past.

Recently, the "Arsenal" coach claimed that the chances of the Portuguese "Blues" winning the Premier League are written off because he feels fear of losing, to which the latter countered that A. Wenger is a specialist in defeats.

The phrase "the stick has two ends" has been confirmed - yesterday the "Chelsea" club suffered a defeat against "Manchester City" and ended the fight in the FA Cup.

J. Mourinho did not intend to calm down after the storm of defeat: "When he says that I am afraid to lose, he does not respect my past. If Wenger does not respect me, then I should not respect his past either.

"Here is my answer. It doesn't mean I enjoy saying this, but I think he deserves such an answer," - concluded the former Real Madrid coach, who did not avoid similar expressions in Spain.
