Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has slam Manchester United’s method of breaking up his side’s play after lost at Old Trafford on Saturday evening.Wenger is angry and he has speak out after the defeat, claiming Sir Alex Ferguson’s tactics were not anything short of anti-football and he believe that is worse than Eduardo’s alleged dive against Celtic in midweek. The Gunners’ boss launch a finely veiled attack on United midfielder Darren Fletcher, who he claim is in the team merely to make tackles and is the chief culprit.
However, the match stats show that out of the seven players who devoted the most fouls, five from Arsenal. And the Gunners had six players booked, they routinely receive a £25,000 fine from the Football Association. There are other points that, for me, are more urgent players who play only to make fouls and who are never punish; players who make repeated fouls and who get out of the game without a yellow card. That, for me, is more anti-football than a performer who did what Eduardo did.
I include seen a player who plays only on the pitch to make frequent fouls. Look at how many purposeful fouls some players make and get away with. I think that’s a better problem because it cut the flow of the game. Wenger also protected Eduardo over the claim of diving I think it is hard with diving. Sometimes group of players dive to escape being hit. It’s not always essentially diving because you want to dive. Sometimes it’s a method of getting out of way. The borderline connecting being sensible, being shrewd or being a cheat is very slim so, in some cases, to assess which is which is very hard.
If you watch the Super Cup on Friday then they will contain to charge Messi for headbutting or they will lose reliability. They have opened amazing there that over the weekend I’ll find you 50 situations where they can intervene, or if they don’t Eduardo will be singled out for being a wrong casualty. I do not want Messi to be punish but if they go for Eduardo then people will insist it. Pedro, also of Barcelona, dive as well and so I don’t believe there’s any logic to Eduardo’s case.
I believe it was a more touching decision really because if Uefa had said before the period starts, listen, let’s get together and no matter what happen in Uefa games, if we believe someone of diving he will be punished then you could say, OK, we’ve always been told they will do that. But suddenly, out as of nowhere because it was an emotional situation in Scotland we have this situation and have to live with that.And Wenger was also rapid to support the English stance on diving I think it’s a quality in this country.
