Sagna: Gunners are attacked
-
Bacary Sagna has lamented his team’s injury crisis and slammed the press for constantly attacking Arsenal.
The talented right back is fed up with the way his side has been treated in the English media since his move to Emirates Stadium.
The Frenchman has slammed the tabloids for going wild after William Gallas’ controversial interview, and said they are trying to ‘create a mess’.
Sagna also understands The Gunners have to cope with Cesc Fabregas’ long absence, as well as Theo Walcott’s shoulder damage and Tomas Rosicky’s career-threatening injury.
Sagna told L’Equipe: “You know, Arsenal have always been attacked. When I joined the club the press started to say the team’s too young and that we’d never bounce back from Thierry Henry’s departure.
“But at the end of the day, we made people shut up by playing out a good season. This year it’s William’s turn (to be attacked).The tabloids have tried to create a mess.
“You’re not happy to see that in the papers, but as far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t affect me. We are just trying to achieve the best season possible, but we have to cope with blows with Walcott, Rosicky and now Fabregas’ injury. We didn’t need that.”
The defender has refused to rule Arsenal out of the title race.
When asked if winning the title remains possible for The Gunners, he said: “Of course, but it remains very tight. Besides, if you watch closely you’ll notice that it’s becoming complicated for everybody.
“Winning is even becoming hard for the leaders. It proves that the gap between the big four teams and the other ones has considerably decreased. For the moment, it remains open.
“Consistency will be the key to winning the title. It’s up to us to stop dropping points like we have done lately.”
