Wenger talks to Wilshere about the newest smoking incident

Posted by Ix Techau about 9 years ago · 1 replies

On the latest so-called "scandal":

I’ve spoken with him about [smoking] and he’s not a smoker. He is of course sorry for what has happened. It’s down to him to master his life. He had the day off the next day and he went out to watch the Superbowl.

On the rules of smoking at the club:

When he’s here he has to follow the rules that we dictate here, when he’s out of his job it’s his own responsibility to behave like he wants to behave. I don’t think there’s any more to add on that. I believe his photo has been taken at half past 12 when he watched the Superbowl. I don’t know any more of what happened and it’s not of a big interest.

On Wilshere is behaving inappropriately:

I think I observe him well and he behaves in a very professional way, I must say. Every morning he’s certainly one of the first in and every afternoon certainly the last out. He works very hard, he’s gone through some bad spells in his career and always recovered. It would be wrong to give him that kind of reputation because he’s a serious player and he works very hard.

On being a bloody youngster:

You have been 23 as well. You need sometimes to relieve the pressure a bit. I think today it’s much more difficult because everywhere you go people make photos and a photo shows one second of your life. It doesn’t define who you are.

On Wilshere's work ethic:

I believe he works hard, he practices well, he’s ahead of schedule in his training, he’s two weeks ahead, and you don’t do that if you are not serious. As I told you, he is first in, last out, and he works very hard to get there. I am not worried at all about that.

Patron Experiences frequent chest pains from watching Arsenal 5 pts

As long as he performs on the pitch, couldn't care less what he does off it. Though considering his form before the injury, pretty concerning.
