Szczesny: It broke my heart to be let go by Arsenal, Wenger admits it was a mistake

Hupu News November 15 Szczesny explained some key moments in his career in a PrimeVideo documentary about his personal experience, in which he told everything with a candid attitude.

The Polish goalkeeper delves into the biggest pain point of his career: the moment Arsenal gave up on him. In the documentary, Szczesny relives the situation with Gunners manager Arsene Wenger - the man who made the decision. The two had a conversation in which they each explained how they viewed the moment.

Szczesny began: "That was probably the most heartbreaking moment of my career, and I remember I went home and cried. When I found out about the decision, I knew I was leaving because you know very well that it was over for me at Arsenal, just That's right. "

At this point, Szczesny asked Wenger directly, wondering to what extent what happened at Southampton (Szczesny was fined 25,500 euros for smoking in the shower after Arsenal's 0-2 defeat) was decisive. "I want to know whether this decision was made as early as two years ago, that day in Southampton, or whether it was later. Because I felt that you had already decided after the Southampton incident and there was no way to change your mind. From then on, it doesn't matter what I do. "

Wenger responded to this : "The Southampton incident played a large role in my mind when I made my final decision, and the reason is not just football. Maybe I felt that you were living too comfortably at the time. And that incident deepened my feeling. When you are a 16-year-old young goalkeeper, there are 10 goalkeepers in front of you, and you came here the same way, but when you actually After finding your goal, I feel that you have stayed in your comfort zone. "

Szczesny himself admitted this feeling: "I agree with you: I was really too comfortable at that time." But he retorted: "I feel that two years in Rome are enough, and I think it was a mistake for you not to call me back." Wenger finally admitted that letting Szczesny go was a mistake: "Yes, I made a lot of mistakes, and I regret every mistake." Hearing Wenger's words, Szczesny felt relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart: "Yes, Wenger finally admitted it! I can retire with peace of mind now."
