Gervinho slams Wenger tactics
Gervinho has slammed Arsene Wenger for playing
him out of position throughout his two years at
Arsenal .
The Ivorian left the Emirates Stadium to join Roma
in an €8 million deal last month, after scoring just
11 goals in 63 appearances in what proved to be a
disappointing stint in the Premier League.
Gervinho - who joined Arsenal from Lille in 2011 -
is hoping to resurrect his career at the Stadio
Olimpico, but has been quick to stress that he
could have performed better for Wenger's side if
the Frenchman had deployed him as a central
striker.
"I was not getting much time on the pitch and was
in need of this time to improve and play my best
football," the 26-year-old told The Sun.
"Wenger was not prepared to give it to me. Also my
position on the wing was not what I was expecting
and I wasn't happy with it.
"It would have helped had he (Wenger) shown more
confidence in me."
Gervinho signed for Arsenal after impressing with
his displays for Lille, with whom he won the Ligue 1
title and the Coupe de France in the 2010-11
season.
