Chelsea head coach, Liam Rosenior has accused Arsenal of showing a lack of respect during the warm-up ahead of their Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg clash at the Emirates Stadium. Rosenior was visibly furious before kick-off and was caught on Sky Sports cameras confronting members of the Arsenal camp, shouting: Thats your half thats your ******* half. ******* stay there. Chelsea later crashed out of the competition, losing 4-2 on aggregate. Broadcast footage showed a member of Arsenals coaching staff entering Chelseas half of the pitch during the warm-up, a situation Rosenior admitted disrupted his teams preparations.Speaking on Thursday via Sky Sports, the Chelsea boss made it clear that his frustration was not directed at Arsenals players but at what he described as a breach of football etiquette. It wasnt the players, Rosenior said. Im respectful. When you warm up, you have your half and the other team has theirs. Ive never asked my team or my coaches to encroach on the oppositions territory. He explained that Arsenals actions interfered with Chelseas routine. In that moment, I didnt think it was right where they were operating. They were affecting my lads and staffs warm-up. I asked them, maybe not politely, to stay in their half. Rosenior insisted there was no attempt at psychological gamesmanship, stressing that his reaction was purely about respect. Im not here for mind games. Its just about what I think is right. There are certain etiquettes in football, and I always try to be as respectful as possible. Despite the incident, Rosenior played down any lingering issues with Arsenal, praising their manager in the process. I dont have any problem with anyone at Arsenal. They have a fantastic manager. Mikel Arteta is someone I have a lot of respect for. He concluded by reiterating his point: It was just that, in that moment, I didnt feel that respect was shown to my team.
