Arsene Wenger says he will remain steadfast in his footballing beliefs despite
Arsenal's 2-0 defeat to Chelsea, which left them nine points behind the
Barclay's Premier League leaders.
"There is only one way to play football - that is to win games and be
efficient," the Arsenal manager said. "The best way to win the
games is the way that is most adapted to the qualities of your players and
the philosophy of your club. That is what we try to be faithful to.
"You have to accept that when you lose games, the way you play is always
questioned - what becomes a fantastic quality when you win, becomes a
fantastic mistake when you lose. It is like that.
"We still have to believe in the way we do things, in the way we play and
to show that strength."
However, Wenger believes his post-match comments were taken out of context. "I
was full of compliment and praise for Chelsea," Wenger said. "I
find it completely unfair from the press that you take one word from my
press conference to turn it.
