William Gallas did not like the fact that his number 13 shirt was given to Michael Ballack while he was still at the club. This led to Gallas asking to be transferred from Chelsea. He refused to travel to the United States for pre-season, and this was not taken well by Jose Mourinho.

Sky Sources reports a statement made by Chelsea after Gallas left, it accuses Gallas of threatening to score own goals if he was not let go. Gallas went on to deny the own goal threats. Eventually, Gallas left for Arsenal and the tension subsided.

In an interview with Four Four Two Magazine, Gallas went on to talk about his relationship with Jose Mourinho. He said:

“In retrospect, I think that we did not understand each other. It’s a great pity, as we had the same common goal - to win trophies".
