Infuriated Arsene Wenger Criticises Henry Over Alexis Sanchez


Infurated Arsene Wenger has attacked former Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry over his comments about Alexis Sanchez.

The angered Arsenal manager has hit back at Thierry Henry after the Arsenal legend accused Alexis Sanchez of sparking a dressing-room rift.

Wenger was furious at being questioned about the failure of Sanchez’s team-mates to celebrate his two-goal contribution in Thursday’s 3-2 victory at Crystal Palace.


Alexis Sanchez has caused a divide in the dressing room according to Henry
And the Gunners boss fears that Sanchez’s failure to come clean about his future means he will be criticised for the rest of the season.

Wenger said: “It’s a problem when Alexis plays well and it’s a problem when he doesn’t play well. It’s unbelievable.

“You turn up, you play football and that’s it. After that you judge whether he played well or not, but some people always want it to be a problem.”

Arsenal’s record scorer Henry  claimed some players deliberately snubbed  Sanchez’s goal  celebrations.


Thierry Henry believes there is more than meets the eye at Arsenal.



Thierry Henry suggested that Sanchez looked 'alone' after scoring his goals
Henry said: “There is a division in the team. He is asking them to come and celebrate. ‘Why are you not coming? Don’t you want to celebrate?’.

“I noticed it. Sanchez made me notice it. It was like he thought he was alone.”

Sanchez, 29, is into the final six months of his contract and will be free to negotiate with interested foreign clubs when the transfer window opens tomorrow.

Wenger will continue to select the £33million Chilean for as long as he remains at the club.

The Frenchman said: “I am not a psychologist. I don’t know what is going on in his head and whether he is with us short-term or long-term.



“From Monday he is free to go where he wants if it’s a foreign club, but that’s not my problem.


Arsene Wenger defended contract rebel Alexis Sanchez's commitment after his double against Crystal Palace
“My problem is just to win the game at West Brom.”

Midfielders Mesut Ozil and Jack Wilshere are also out of contract in the summer and have yet to agree new deals. But Wenger is increasingly confident of coming to an arrangement with Wilshere and has nothing but admiration for the way the England international has revived his career.

Wilshere, who turns 26 tomorrow, has missed more than three years of his career through injury and spent last season away from the Gunners on loan at Bournemouth.

But he has now proved his fitness and  been Arsenal’s best player over this period to keep the side in  contention for a top-four finish.

Wenger said: “I never gave up on Jack because I have always believed in him, but we have to give him great credit for what he has gone through.




Alexis Sanchez appeared to make a gesture to Mesut Ozil during his celebration
“It’s all nicey-nicey when you are 17, super talented and everybody says  you are the greatest player.

“But to come back to that level after all that he has gone through in recent years shows a special character and I have a big respect for that.

“When we play with five at the back like we did at Crystal Palace on Thursday, the system suits him well because I like to have more offensive players in midfield.

#RamadanDailyDigest: What You Should Tell Troublemakers While Fasting

7 Greatest Sportsmen Of All Time

There are often arguments and counterarguments on who the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time are. Some sports historians, analysts, and supporters pick their own choices not necessarily on facts but emotions.  In picking the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time, I briefly checked their achievements not just in their specific fields but also their impact outside the world of sports. 1. Boxing legend, Muhammad Ali has been crowned the best sports athlete of all time in a star-studded list. The 'Greatest' is widely considered the best boxer in history and arguably the most iconic sports star of the 20th century.  Ali was not just a beauty to watch in the boxing ring, the greatest pugilist positively influenced decisions in many countries globally.  2. Pele is widely picked as the winner, and number one football player in history in all criteria. His three-time World Cup-winning feat, from four World Cup appearances, is unlikely to be matched. Pele scored a Guinness World Record of...

#RamadanDailyDigest: Significance Of Moonsighting & Commencement Of Ramadan

Ramadan Daily Digest, which is an annual article on the stable of Naijaloveinfo with hashtag, #RamadanDailyDigest will be discussing briefly the significance of moonsighting and the commencement of Ramadan. Ramadan, which is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar is the only month in which Muslims, the world over fast from dawn till sunset for 29 or 30 days. Allaah commands Muslims to fast as stated in some parts of Suuratul Baqara (chapter 2) of The Glorious Qur'an. The Glorious Qur'an is the first and most important book to all Muslims. For all the Islamic months, starting from Muharram (first month) to Dhul Hajj (12th month), the numbers of days in each of these 12 months are often 29 days and once in a while 30 days. The interesting thing about counting days is that the crescent (new moon) plays an important role. Therefore, the significance of moonsighting is the first consideration before starting the Ramadan fasting.  The question that could come up is why do Muslims co...
