Current Roma attacker Gervinho has slammed his former manager Arsene Wenger, for not installing him with confidence when he was at Arsenal.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, reported by 101greatgoals, the Ivorian claimed that he loved working with current Roma boss Rudi Garcia, who is a better at dealing with his players than the French veteran.
The 26-year-old, who has scored five goals in Serie A this term, had this to say on his old boss:
“The fundamental difference between Roma and Arsenal is the coach. Garcia here gives me confidence, I know that he believes in me.
“When I wake up in the morning, I really like going to work: I cannot wait to train and stay with my coach and my team-mates.
“In Italy the people are great. Rome is wonderful and the passion for football is strong, but a lot of these qualities were also in England. What I learned at Arsenal? Honestly, not so much, because you cannot learn a lot if you’re on the bench.”
“I left England because I was not playing. Almost always be among the reserves was the worst thing for me and for my confidence.”
