Jose leaves kids' stuff to Wenger
Ahead of the first all London Carling Cup final, managers Wenger and Mourinho renew their feud over 'cash versus kids' Jonathan Northcroft
You know, I’m a person,” said Jose Mourinho, “who likes a difference of opinion.” If that is the case, Arséne Wenger must be the Special One’s special friend. If the pair were plummeting from a cliff, you could imagine them engaging in a mid-air dispute over who was going to hit the ground first.

Mourinho, spirits lifted yesterday by the news that injured skipper John Terry would be fit to play in Cardiff, is not alone among top managers in almost needing conflict as psychological fuel. Despite purporting to live by Jock Stein’s old maxim “don’t go looking for trouble, trouble will always find you”, Sir Alex Ferguson has spent years creating quarrels with opponents, the authorities and the press as a means of motivating himself and his team. Even placid old Rafael Benitez displayed a hitherto hidden talent for rancour when he belittled Everton as a “small club” after the recent Mersey derby: as a result Liverpool’s toiling performance was forgotten and Benitez’s players retained the self-belief that saw them prosper in Barcelona. One of the pleasures for any journalist engaging Wenger is the feeling that you can ask anything; he seems to enjoy being challenged to shoot back with the right riposte to the toughest question.

As for Mourinho: “I think I’m easy to work with because I’m objective,” said the Chelsea manager. “I accept that people don’t always think the same as me but I like to communicate. I’ve had a lot to forgive people for, in my life and at Chelsea. And I’ve had to apologise to a lot of people.”

One of those was Wenger. In 2005, Mourinho said sorry via a Christmas card for having branded his rival “a Viewer”. He was incensed when Wenger refused to acknowledge receipt of the peace offering and made theatre of declining to shake Wenger’s hand at the next Chelsea versus Arsenal game, which Chelsea won 2-0. The ill-feeling between the managers has simmered. The Carling Cup final lead-in has seen them trading barbs as to what makes a great manager. Mourinho seemed to suggest that Wenger could not be termed such because he has not been a European champion. Wenger replied haughtily that plenty of coaches who have won the Champions League will not be remembered as great figures. Mourinho concurred - but made it clear he feels his own place in the pantheon was way beyond debate.

He also seemed to row back on his earlier jibe, saying that Wenger, after all, was “great”, but as the word tumbled out, something about the inflection made it sound that in this one-off context it was a throwaway epithet. In football, results tend to have the final word, and the only time Wenger flinched during the hour he spent giving his cup final press briefing was when reminded that, unlike Benitez and Ferguson (and for that matter Martin Jol) he has not yet defeated Mourinho head-to-head. He went 17 games unbeaten against Chelsea when Gianluca Vialli and Claudio Ranieri were the managers, but has failed to win in five attempts since Mourinho took charge.

It is the last cup final in Cardiff, and while travel links to the Millennium stadium have often been lamented, nobody has ever complained about the pitch. Yet for today’s game, Chelsea and Arsenal are presented as lining up on an uneven playing field. “Is it cash against kids?” Wenger was asked, to his delight. With Arsenal playing the majority of the pups whose exuberant talents have swept them to the final, Chelsea are in an invidious position, with their multi-million-pound, full-strength team. It irritates Mourinho.

Someone suggested that by fielding his collection of reserve and academy footballers Wenger was ensuring that there was no way he could be perceived as losing. “I agree,” said Mourinho with narrowed eyes.

Most of the truly great managers not only won the greatest trophies but did so using players they reared themselves, an achievement Mourinho’s CV cannot detail. Wenger’s record in nurturing footballers appeared unimpeachable - until set before the sophistic Portuguese. With chutzpah of which only he is capable, Mourinho suggested that he might know better than Wenger when it comes to developing footballers, calling on the example of Lassana Diarra, the young French midfielder who has started Chelsea’s past seven matches, mostly at right-back. “I don’t think young players have more chance at Arsenal,” said Mourinho. “I want you to tell me what a player prefers. Is it to have some chances to play now and again, like they do at Arsenal? Or is it to be like Diarra, who was waiting and then when he went to the team, he went to stay? Because Diarra in this moment is not playing Carling Cup matches, he is playing Champions League matches, eh? So what is the best process?”

Mourinho cheerfully ignored the fact under Wenger, Cesc Fabregas has played 27 Champions League matches by the age of 19. There was also disingenuousness in his assertion that at Porto “my challenge was no money, and Portuguese players - build a team”.

Mourinho’s effect on his previous club, who had slumped to their lowest ever league position before he made them European champions, was extraordinary, but it was not a transformation effected through discovering obscure youths. Stalwarts Ricardo Carvalho, Deco Costinha and Maniche, were already there and in or approaching their mid-twenties. Paulo Fer-reira was a Mourinho find, but the right-back was 23 when he was signed from Vitoria Setu-bal. It is fair to argue, however, that youth development is simply not something he has been asked to address. His career has been too stellar. His 32 months at Chelsea are the longest he has spent as manager anywhere and his brief has always been first-team success. Would he like the chance to build a young team? “I would love to do that,” he said. “Chelsea is a different challenge. It was a club without a big history and it is very important if a club wants to come up and become important in the world to win big titles.”

His influence over youth matters is “in no way” like Wenger’s. Here was a double barb. Talent recruitment is down to Chelsea’s chief scout and director of youth development, Frank Arnesen, Mourinho’s rival in the politicking that takes place at Roman Abramovich’s court. Before Terry announced yesterday that he would be fit to play, despite aggravating an ankle injury against Porto in midweek, Mourinho had been faced with having to field Michael Essien at centre-back. His only other alternative was to use striker Didier Drogba in that role.

Was there no player from the club’s reserve or youth ranks who could come in? “No. Not one. No chance. Not yet,” said Mourinho. How long would it take Chelsea to establish the same kind of production line of talent as Arsenal? “Frank can give you a better answer because he is in charge of that aspect,” Mourinho said. “As the first-team man I am waiting for the work they do in the youth department. I am waiting for the final product to be delivered to me.”

Diarra was signed in July 2005, before Arnesen took up his post. That Mourinho picked this player as his example of Chelsea’s future, not the recent recruit Jon Obi Mikel, must have been coincidence.

Wenger, meanwhile, argued that if a rich owner offered him £100m to spend on players, “I’d say to the guy, ‘Keep your £100m. You must understand that my team is the work of five years and now to destroy what we have by buying big names would be crazy’.”

Cash v Kids, red corner and blue, Jose against Arséne. Easter is coming up. Might be time to send a card.

I'm cursed sportswise, Naija don't make it to world cup, Naija loses to Ghana and now Arsenal loses to Chelsea, seesm like any team i support does bad


Why

That's funny, sorry ehn. If that's your luck, as long as you don't support ManU, we're okay.

dblock:

Er. . . Ehm. . .

Sweetheart, I've got blue forms for sale if you're interested!

Deejay,
your post here shows how imbalance u are in ur reasoning.
terry was knocked to unconsciousness and the chelsea players did not fight.
Toure felt mikel is a kid to be intimidated on the pitch for just a slight tackle the beast desended on mikel.
thank God mikel was able to match him man to man.
please visit youtube.com for the scene. this site will show u how it all started and how mikel gave him a soft touch that could have sent him crawling if not for the timely intervention of other players.
it is a sad news for you and your group as mikel was sent off alongside two arsenal players, arsenal lost the cup and wenger admitted they lost their cool so how fucking irrational are you in putting the blames on mikel.

What kind of excuses are you people given now?

You are mentioning that they are young players, let me ask you this questions

are they not earning salary?

didn't you have experience players that you can fit in to that match?

Can your so called Igwe and co. do more than what those lads did?

your coach feels like the lads are capable of doing it, he has confident in them than your fucking stars, so no more excuses.

BLUES RULES!

A yoruba man would have called the chelsea players agbaya (old fools). From the start of the tournament, they always fielded their best quad even against league 1 sides. Even teams like everton did not do that. The average age of the arsenal squad was just 21. the chelsea players were just chasing shadows in the first 25 minutes of the game when the arsenal players were tossing them up and down, left and right on the pitch. You can only imagine what would have happened if players like Henry, Gallas, Gilberto, Lehmann, Rosicky, Clichy etc were playing yesterday.

@atiku,
i can't seem to lay hands on ur problem.
u'll never get an award from seun for most threads started on niaraland ! trust me !

@deejay,
ur level of reasoning is so appalling, Rev. King himself would've been reluctant in maiming u !

@Olumide,
obviously u have nothing to say.

someone should really do some reasoning.
