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.
“I think Kante can play
everywhere, I think he has the
qualities to be a box-to-box
like Maurizio is trying with
him and he’s scoring more
goals than ever.
“With Antonio Conte he was
playing in a more defensive
position because they were
only playing with two in there
but now at this moment they
are playing with three and
Maurizio is doing the same
with Jorginho as at Napoli.
“He likes him to drop in
between the centre backs but
today Ramsey is playing in that
position to fundamentally to
stop Jorginho playing.”
