Alexis Sanchez row reports 'completely false' - Arsene Wenger Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says reports of a training ground row between Alexis Sanchez and his team-mates are "completely false". Sanchez is believed to have had an angry exchange with fellow players after leaving training mid-session prior to Saturday's loss at Liverpool.
He was confronted by team-mates on their return to the changing room as tempers flared.
"I'm not aware, nothing happened," said Wenger. Sanchez was left out of the starting line-up at Anfield but came on and set up a goal for his side in the second half as Arsenal lost 3-1.
"I explained after the game I decided to go for a more direct option, that was the unique reason for my decision," said Wenger.
"He is a committed player and sometimes with excessive behaviours but you have had that many times in the history of every squad." Wenger was speaking before the second leg of his side's Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday at home to Bayern Munich, who lead 5-1.
Asked about his relationship with Sanchez, the Frenchman said: "Honest and normal like with every single player."
Sanchez has been directly involved in 26 goals in his 26 league games this season, scoring 17 and assisting nine.
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright said he would "probably want to leave" the club if he was in Chile international's position.
But Wenger said: "Alexis Sanchez has 15 months on his contract so the decision will depend on Arsenal Football Club, not on anyone else." http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/39181385 [ 此帖被羅力亞在2017-03-06 21:21重新編輯 ]
