It Feels Sad That Tony Adams Will Criticise Me -Arsene Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says the remarks made by Tony Adams did not cause him pain and said he would rather focus his energies elsewhere.

Arsenal, who face Everton on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium on the last day the season, are one point off fourth in the table, with Liverpool hosting Middlesbrough at Anfield. The Gunners will have to better Liverpool's result to gain an unlikely fourth spot.

He said “I do not give too much importance to what Tony Adams says, he can show what he can do now. Who gives importance to that? I know him for a long time. It's sad. I am respectful to everybody. I don't have anything to say about that. For me, it's a subject of no interest. And so I would like to dedicate my time to something that is more interesting. Look, in a football club today, you have to employ people who can help you to be successful. Sometimes it is to make harsh decisions. You have to be needed. And like you have made a career as a player somewhere, it doesn't give you any divine right to come back. That's what it is. Because all the players, at some stage, they decide to leave, when their interest was to leave. It is not like some players have never left the club. When it was their interest to go somewhere else, they went somewhere else.”
