Arsenal goalkeeper, Petr Cech, has denied that he and
Alexis Sanchez were laughing on the bench, during their
5-1 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League
last-16 tie last week.
Alexis was caught on camera laughing after he was
substituted, as the Gunners crashed out 10-2 on aggregate.
But Cech says the accusations are “disrespectful”.
“It is sad and he was as sad as I have seen him,” Cech
said.
“Unfortunately when you say the sentence, ‘Had we scored
the second goal everything could look different’ and then
you do ‘ooph’ [exhale] you know, but in the end the reality
is you are 5-1 down and somebody twists it and says you
are laughing on the bench.
“I found it very disrespectful to the player.
But obviously you
can take the picture and you can interpret it the way you
want unfortunately. But we the players, we know exactly
what he said and we know how he was hurting and he was
as disappointed as anybody else. It is unfortunate and
disappointing.”
