Wenger slam coaches
|
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has likened international coaches to car thieves!
He is particularly angry with fellow countryman Raymond Domenech, who is set to play William Gallas for France against the Faroes Islands tonight after the player missed the defeat by Scotland with a hamstring injury.
Wenger said: "I feel like a man who has given the double of his key to a mate. The guy comes, takes your car, uses it for 10 days and leaves it in the middle of a field without any petrol.
"National team managers have the law with them and they have practically all chosen to act the same way. The easy way.
"Take this international break. The problem is I am going to get my players back Thursday evening. I have even had some coming back Friday, especially the ones going to South America.
"Then we play Watford on Saturday afternoon and CSKA in Moscow in the Champions League on Tuesday. Playing 12 or 14 qualifying games in 10 or 12 months is madness."
Surprisingly, Wenger revealed ex-England boss Sven Goran Eriksson did show respect for clubs.
Wenger added: "Sven is the only one who called regularly, who came by and talked. But he had managed big clubs and knew their problems.
"I never have the others on. They give you back the players and you never know what state they're in."
