The Reason Why Mourinho Was Parading An Arsenal Shirt After Chelsea Win

Jose Mourinho was seen striding around the Emirates
clutching an Arsenal shirt after Chelsea’s 2-0 Capital One
Cup win over the London club, but why?
It certainly wasn’t to antagonise the home fans or gloat
over Chelsea’s London rivals – it was actually for a very
different reason.
Arsenal’s star midfielder Mesut Ozil played the final half
hour of the match and after the final whistle blew, he
shared a tender moment with the man who coached him
at Real Madrid.
Before they both moved to London over the summer,
Mourinho coached Ozil at the Bernabeu to great success
and the pair clearly have a special relationship.
Ozil gave Mourinho his shirt and shared a warm embrace
with the Chelsea manager, which may not have delighted
current manager Arsene Wenger.

The Germany midfielder told Bild earlier this month that he
and Mourinho have remained in close contact since they
both left Madrid.
Ozil revealed that Mourinho sent him a “Welcome to
London” text when he first joined Arsenal and has looked
out for his former charge since he arrived in the city.
It certainly was a heartwarming image and one which bears
out how some players feel about working with the ‘Special
One’.
Mourinho did not always get on with all of his players at
Real Madrid, but there were obviously some who continue
to hold the coach in the very highest regard.
For Ozil it clearly was very special indeed.
