Arsenal lost 2-1 of Watford on Saturday evening and after the event, Arsenal Wenger spoke mainly about “some bad decisions” of the arbitration. Troy Deeney was logically mad with the profits of his team and could not agree at all with the words of the manager of the Gunners. Wednesday, the Frenchman, in turn, reacts to the tough statements of the English attacker.
“I have already heard that Wenger has mentioned the penalty kick as the reason for the defeat. Arsenal has no cojones,” said Deeney,”That’s the word I think. When I also play Arsenal, and that is something personal, I go out into the field with the thought:’ let me kill the first one and then we see who wants to do more’.I started an air duel with Per Mertesacker. Well, I didn’t even have to go into the air. I headed up against the ball and the audience sprung up. Their players were shocked by it.
“Everyone has a right to their opinion,” Wenger replies on Wednesday at the press conference prior to the Europa League duel with Rode Ster Belgrade to the words of Deeney,”We don’t listen to what people say, we try to analyze the competition in our own way. I love my players and I’m confident in their strength and character to put things in order quickly,” the manager is quoted by the Daily Mirror.
“In the last seven games, we won six times and played the match one time. Comments are part of the game today. But you can’t question our character. People are trying to pull us down, they have always done so. According to the Frenchman,”These statements are not correct”, says the Frenchman, who has already supported nine points in the Premier League with Arsenal at the forefront of Manchester City.
Had Troy Deeney been right?
