Diarra: I learnt nothing from Arsenal and Wenger

[Lazie]

Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra claims he learned ''nothing'' from Arsene Wenger during his unhappy four-and-a-half-month stint at Arsenal.

The 24-year-old joined the Gunners in August 2007 from Chelsea but was offloaded the following January to Premier League rivals Portsmouth.

Twelve months later his stock had risen considerably, and he moved on to Spanish champions Madrid for a fee of around 20m euros.

Now seemingly settled in the Spanish capital, Diarra looks back on his time at the Emirates Stadium far from fondly.

When asked by Spanish newspaper El Pais what he had learned from Wenger, the France international replied: ''Me? Nothing. I did not learn anything from Wenger. He just taught me to doubt everything. The relationship I had with him was not good.

''You cannot understand the whole world. I respect the way you train, but I learned more with (former Chelsea manager Jose) Mourinho. Mourinho taught me to fight. I spoke looking into his eyes.

''If you had a problem, it would be discussed. Wenger never addressed me until I told him I was going. He talked to others, but not me. I feel like I never played for Arsenal.

''If people do not remind me of them (Arsenal), I forget about them. It's erased from my memory.''

[Assasin]

How much did he expect to learn in 4 months?

[Paul Marin]

Diarra + Real Madrid = "match made in heaven"...they are perfect for each other.

[Dunny]

That sums up what a person Diarra is.Thats the reason why Arsene Wenger got rid of him so quick.Bad apple

Karl, read the article again. The man said Wegner did not deal with him did not talk with him etc, etc. How can a teacher teach if he aviods the student? There is a saying "until the student has learned, the teacher has not taught".

True, but to call the man dunce without considering the situation? I am not saying I am in agreement with the player for making the statement however.

[Dunny]

Oh I read it!
...and while the teacher is giving out instructions to the class and he/she must make time to include and involve all...have all interacting in the learning process...it is strange that a member of the class could be there seeing and observing...hearing and taking part in the exercises - (repetitive exercises in training and playing actual matches) - and still end up not learning?

React with emotions?
Ofcourse. Emotions precede rational thought! ...or you are one who believe that you are not constantly - (constantly = every minute of your life) reacting to your enviroment on either the subconscious level or both i.e simultaneously, the subconscious and conscious levels?
