Arsenal's Wenger blasts Capello over corruption claim
|
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has blasted Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello over the Italian's claims that English football is corrupt.
Wenger stormed: "I cannot accept his comments.
"You cannot say it happens here because it doesn't - we do not corrupt referees.
"If it came out that it was happening in England, I hope people would be punished.
"But I don't believe it happens in England."
Capello's former club Juventus were punished with relegation to Serie B and having 30 points docked.
Wenger said: "It's a good warning for all those who cheat. But it doesn't mean they've been punished for all they did - only for the last two years.
"When people cheat and they are punished you are always happy."
