Wenger refutes language problems
by Alex Livie, 10 October 2007

Arsene Wenger has refuted allegations that English is not the common
language in the Arsenal dressing room.

Ashley Cole’s wife Cheryl Tweedy said her husband left Arsenal as English
was no longer the native tongue in the dressing room, claiming he felt like
‘an outsider’.

Wenger has just two Englishmen, Theo Walcott and Justin Hoyte, in his
first-team squad – but he has refuted suggestions that English is not the
common language.

"The common language is English but you cannot stop six or seven players
speaking French if they are French - sometimes detrimentally to a player who
is English," said Wenger.

"But I cannot stop that as I have not found any player who can express
themselves better in any language but English if it is not their own. It is
difficult to fight against that.

"We pay the teachers (when players arrive at the club). If I speak to the
group it is in English."

And Wenger says he has sympathy for players who struggle to speak the
language within a dressing room, having experienced a similar problem when
in Japan with Grampus Eight.

"Don't forget I was in Japan where I understood nothing," said Wenger. "You
sit there, and I know what it is not to understand what people speak about.
It is good not to be paranoid!"
