Wenger: friendship not vital as Gallas and Toure fall out

FRIENDSHIP is not the most important commodity among team-mates, according to Arsène Wenger.

Amid claims that Arsenal centre backs William Gallas and Kolo Toure had fallen out, Wenger said: “They get on OK. In football you don’t have to go on holiday together but you can still play together.

“[Real Madrid legends] Alfredo di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas never spoke to each other. They didn’t greet each other but when you saw them play together you would never guess that.
