Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger expressed his defiance and disappointment after a report revealing his pep-talk before the Bolton game on Saturday appeared in a national newspaper on Monday.
It seemed an employee or a guest at the Bolton Hotel found the report and sold it to the national paper.
The media had suggested the pep-talk was done by a psychologist.
Arsene strongly refuted the suggestion in an interview done by Arsenal official website.
"That is not true. The meeting was done by me and only me."
"What came out of the meeting is what we have done many times. We want to be humble and play for each other."
What I regret is when you leave a sheet in a five-star hotel you find it in a newspaper the next day. That means you cannot trust anybody. Someone finds a sheet that has 'confidential' written on it they give it to the newspapers. People wouldn’t rather give it back to the team or throw it away. "
“You cannot accept this type of behaviour because if you leave £20 in your room you will not find it again as well. It’s the same. "
“But I must stress that we have nothing to hide. Every team wants to behave almost the same and we are proud of the qualities on that sheet.”
p.s: I was thinking if I should reveal the details in my post a day earlier. "Top Secret Revealed on how Arsene Wenger Motivated His Players " http://arsenalgunnersfire.blogspot.com/2008/09/top-secret-revealed-on-how-arsene.html
Based on the pageviews that I was receiving for the post, there were keen interest from readers. Decided against publishing the sensitive information as it was classified as confidential and it would be unethical to reveal such details.
