The pair clashed after a challenge by Gary Cahill on Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez in Chelsea’s 2-0 home win.
“What is to regret after that? I wanted to go from A to B and somebody confronted me without any sign of welcome,” Wenger said.
“B was get to Sanchez to see if he was injured. Was it a push? A little one. You can see when I really try to push.”
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he gave Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho a “little” push
Wenger and Mourinho were separated by fourth
official Jon Moss at Stamford Bridge, although it is understood neither
manager is expected to face any subsequent punishment for their
behaviour.
Chelsea boss Mourinho said he wanted to
“forget” about the incident with the Frenchman and that he was not
guilty of any wrongdoing.
“It becomes heated because this is a big
game, big clubs, big rivals, and important match for both teams. These
conditions make a game of emotions,” he said.
Arsenal lucky to avoid red cards – Mourinho
“I do so many wrong things in football. But
not this time because this time I was just in my technical area and it
was not my problem. Game over. Story over.”
The relationship between the two managers has
been tempestuous in the past, with Mourinho labelling Wenger “a
specialist in failure” in February this year.
Mourinho also said he would never interfere
in medical decisions after Thibaut Courtois suffered a head injury
following a collision with Chile forward Sanchez and had to be replaced
in goal by Petr Cech.
“The club doctor, or the club medical department take control and the responsibility,” added the Portuguese.
“I just want them to give me a decision and they gave me a decision. For me that’s correct.”
