But Mourinho hit back and said: “Wenger complaining is normal, because he always does. It’s something that we know.
“When a player plays for a club on August 20 and two weeks later on September 5 plays against the same club with a different shirt, this is normal, because this is the market.
“We don’t do the market, we don’t do the rules, we have just to do according to the rules.
“If Wenger sells Mesut Ozil to Manchester United in this moment I would be very happy because he sells a very important player.
“Normally he should be happy that Chelsea sold a player like Juan Mata, but this is a little bit his nature.”
“He says this is not fair. What i think is not fair is his teams always have the best days to play.
“In the Capital One Cup [when Arsenal played Chelsea], we had to play after 24 hours and they had 72 hours. That’s not fair.
“This week, without a midweek game, what everyone wants to do is play before to have time to rest before the next week.
“One team plays Friday, another plays Sunday.
“Who plays Friday? Who plays Sunday? This is not fair.
“They always get the right time to rest – that’s not fair.”
Mourinho regularly crossed swords with Wenger during his first spell in English football but said back in July there would no longer be “one single problem” between the two.
The Portuguese again emphasised his “respect” for Wenger before Chelsea went to the Emirates in December but ended the evening criticising Arsenal’s ‘crying tradition’ in the wake of a bad-tempered goalless draw.
