Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has launched an astonishing personal attack on Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger saying he is a voyeur with an unhealthy obsession with the English champions.
Wenger had suggested Chelsea might have lost their ‘‘big belief’’ in themselves after drawing with Everton and then losing on penalties to Charlton Athletic in the League Cup last Wednesday.
Mourinho let fly after Chelsea beat Blackburn Rovers 4-2 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday to move nine points clear at the top of the Premier League and 14 points ahead of Arsenal, who could only manage a 1-1 draw at Tottenham Hotspur.
‘‘I think Wenger has a real problem with us, I think he is one of these — how do you call it in English — voyeurs’’, Mourinho said. ‘‘He is someone who likes to watch other people. I don’t know what is happening to him, but I think he is in love with Chelsea, he loves us. Maybe he wants to leave Arsenal and come here and take my job.’’
‘‘There are some guys who, when they are at home they have this big telescope to see what happens in other families. He must be one of them. He is always speaking about other families. It is a sickness. Being a voyeur is a sickness,’’ Mourinho said.
Mourinho added: ‘‘I don’t care what Arsenal did at Tottenham. I am only bothered by my team. But he speaks and speaks all the time, but he never speaks about Arsenal, he only speaks about Chelsea.
‘‘When you are on game number 11 and you still can’t win away from home and when, without Thierry Henry, you can’t win a game, Wenger should be worried about Arsenal.’’
