Chris Coleman accuses Arsene Wenger over Aaron Ramsey
Coleman reacted furiously to the suggestion as he named his squad for next week’s friendly against the Netherlands and accused Wenger of showing Wales a lack of respect. He didn’t call me up. I’m not digging anybody out, I’m not causing a problem, I’m dealing with one that was handed to us publicly.
“Our job is hard enough without us chipping at each other, especially with a cheap shot, which is what it was”.
“That’s how it works, if I don’t get correspondence from the club or a call from the manager, then that it is a green light to play him”.
‘He had a scan today but he’s out, ‘ Wenger told the Arsenal website after the 2-0 victory.
Walsall striker Tom Bradshaw is included for the first time in the absence of Bale and Robson-Kanu, while defender Paul Dummett returns after missing the last four games in Euro 2016 qualifying with a hamstring injury. In the end I didn’t do it and of course after, against Bayern, I had not much choice and we got punished. Where, after 70 minutes they’re 3-0 up, so take him off. Rest him.
It was initially thought Real were keen for him to get minutes against the Dutch on November 13 to sharpen him for El Clasico this month, but the two parties agreed it would be better for the Galactico to undergo extra training in Spain instead. I was watching the game.
“Aaron plays 90 minutes and then on the Tuesday he starts and lasts an hour and he pulls up. How he gets to the assumption that was our responsibility, I have no idea”.
“I have one manager at one club accusing us of gambling with Gareth Bale while his own manager at Madrid (Rafa Benitez) s ays his injury was nothing to do with us”, C oleman said.
“He’s at a wonderful club, I think he should stay there and he’ll do really well, I’m sure of it. I’m not sure it will be more central, just a bit more advanced”.
“We have a certain amount of power where we can say it is global football and we’re calling them up”.
“But it’s not in our interest to upset people or to gamble with players”. We’ve never done that and we didn’t do that with Aaron. Don’t point the finger at us.
“We sent him back fit because he played against Watford on Saturday”.
“The phrase “one-man team” isn’t meant to be taken literally”.
I’m not going to sit back and let someone put blame on us.
