SOUNDBITE: (English) Jose Mourinho, Chelsea manager (Q: What do make of Arsene Wenger's 18 years in charge and do you think it can be repeated in this modern age?)

"Amazing, amazing, amazing achievement. Congratulations to him and to the club because this is not only possible because of a managers quality, it has also to do with a club philosophy. So obviously I congratulate both, Arsenal and Mr. Wenger."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jose Mourinho, Chelsea manager (Q: You said that Arsene Wenger was a 'specialist in failure', have you apologised privately or are you prepared to apologise?)

"I didn't get apologise [sic], I don't apologise. But my feeling about it is that, to go over it, to forget it and to move forwards without thinking about what happened, you don't need to apologise. So I don't need to get an apologise [sic], I don't need to apologise. Intelligent people, football people, we don't need that. Finish, move [on] and let's go for another match with big responsibility for both of us."
