Wenger rejects Platini criticism

ARSENAL manager Arsene Wenger has defended his stance over video technology and opinions on the game’s finances after an attack by UEFA president Michel Platini.

Fellow Frenchman Platini, the head of European football’s governing body, fired a couple of broadsides at the Gunners boss during a frank interview with Grenoble daily Dauphine Libere, published today.

The former France captain slammed Wenger for having a business mentality rather than a football one — and he also tore into the Gunners boss for calling for the introduction of video replays to rule on questionable refereeing decisions.
