Mourinho reveals why Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-0
Former Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has praised Arsenal
for disrupting Chelsea’s build-up play, during their 2-0 victory at the
Emirates on Saturday.
Goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Laurent Koscielny handed Arsenal a
valuable three points, to resurrect their faltering top-four hopes.
Mourinho claims that Arsenal succeeded against their London rivals,
by effectively shutting down Jorginho in midfield, as well as cutting their
supply line from the left flank.
Speaking on beIN Sports, he said: “I’m not saying Chelsea is an easy
team to play against but I think they are an easy team to analyse, you know
their principles, their fundamental situations.
“You create great difficulties
to Chelsea to build in the first phase and if you close a little bit more their
left side with David Luiz and Marcos Alonso and you give the ball to the right
side, it is quite difficult for them.
“Kante is playing in a position where he is making more runs forward
than staying in the build-up in the first phase and Arsenal managed to press
them in their own pitch and create many difficulties.
