http://www.arsenal.com/article.asp?thisNav=news&article=370095 Wenger - Why we DO fly British flag with pride By Richard Clarke Arse`ne Wenger has launched a staunch response to criticism that his side are not ‘flying the flag’ for Britain in the Champions League. On Thursday, West Ham manager Alan Pardew expressed his disappointment Arsenal had not fielded an English player when they became this country’s last representative in the competition after knocking out Real Madrid at Highbury. He was concerned the game in this country could be damaged if this trend continued. At his press conference ahead of the Liverpool game, Wenger responded to those comments in trenchant fashion. “For me when you represent a club it's about values and qualities,” he said. “It's not about passports. Unless you change rules, we do nothing wrong. Are we not respecting every rule that exists at the moment? That's why I don't accept that way of thinking. “It's really disappointing for two reasons. First, we are kicking racism out of football and racism starts there. The second part is that players accept the technical opinion of a manager, but not that kind of remarks. “It's a regressive way of thinking. I never would like to say to a player ‘ sorry, you are better, but you're not playing because you don't have the right passport'. It's just not acceptable unless the rules change or you do not want to make a [united] Europe. “When, for example, Alan Pardew calls me at the beginning of the season and asks to have Jeremie Aliadiere on loan, he doesn't check if he's English or not. He just checks if he is good or not.” 很少看到官網會這樣對特定的事講得這麼直接不過像Padew這樣賽季初跟槍手借Aliadiere也沒問他是那一國人現在卻又挑在槍手的兩個英格蘭主力受傷時，批評溫格的簽人的政策的確是挺健忘的 http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/arsenal/article350543.ece 另外溫格在這也說，他簽Walcott是因為他夠好很有潛力，不是因為Walcott是英格蘭人。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 80.229.140.103 ※ 編輯: wadissimo 來自: 80.229.140.103 (03/11 14:54)
