Szczesny has become embroiled in a war
of words with his own father over
controversial comments his parent made
about Gunners boss Arsene Wenger and
his team-mates.Szczesny is likely to start
for Arsenal in the FA Cup final against
Aston Villa at Wembley on Saturday
despite losing his position as the club’s
first-choice goalkeeper to David Ospina
earlier this season.
But Wenger has only played the Poland
international in cup competitions after
catching him smoking in the showers
following Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat at
Southampton on New Year’s Day.
Szczesny’s father Maciej, himself a
former Poland goalkeeper, accused
Wenger of being disloyal towards his son
earlier this year and claimed the
smoking story was “exaggerated” by the
media.
He also said Arsenal’s defence was to
blame for a number of goals they have
conceded this season and singled out Per
Mertesacker as a guilty party, claiming
the German defender had “the agility of
a rhinoceros” in an interview with
Polish newspaper Przeglad Sportowy.
Those quotes infuriated Szczesny and he
published a response on his Facebook
page on Friday.
“Really shouldn’t be dealing with this
one day before the cup final but my
father leaves me no choice,” he wrote.
“I have not spoken to him in more than
2 years and just like everybody else I
have had enough of his idiotic comments
about the football club and the manager
I owe so much to!
“Therefore please do not consider his
comments as my shared view. Thank You
for your understanding!”
