Gallas: Losing Beautifully Still Sucks

Remember after the Lyon game, when I was lamenting the “French style” of football?

“Complete domination of possession, beautiful control of the ball, occasional major and huge lapses and a complete inability to put it in the net. “

Well, it seems William Gallas agrees with me and sees the same problem afflicting Arsenal. Arsenal just happening to be coached by Arsene Wenger. Who’s, y’know, French.

‘To play pretty football is good for fans to watch. However, I’m sorry, I prefer to hear ‘Well done, you won’ than when someone says ‘You were unlucky, you played well’. said Billy. ‘Winning is everything. You have to win.’

Perhaps Domenech is listening as he puts together his team for Lithuania-France.
