Former Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier has added his opinion on the Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho showdown.
Houllier, who himself has had previous memorable battles with Arsenal during his managerial spell at Anfield, has empathised with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
“Firstly, I understand Arsene, because he was annoyed because there was a tackle by Cahill on Sanchez,” Houllier told RMC.
“He simply wanted to see if his player was OK, and he pushed Mourinho, but it’s a little bit of the media game over there, the folklore. Moreover, nothing happened after that.
“It’s true that they’re not the best of friends, but that’s just the way it is.
“I know Mourinho well. He’s intelligent, nice. I can tell you that all the players who are with him adore him, they like his training sessions. I don’t share the opinions he has voiced with regard to Arsene, but Arsene can look after himself.”
