Wojciech Szczesny, the new face of Pepsi in his homeland, has been speaking to the Polish press as part of his commercial responsibilities for the sugary drinks company and managed to get a dig in at Chelsea whilst also discussing his domestic and international duties.
Speaking to Goal.pl, the 21-year-old keeper, continued where he left off in interviews with Sky at the weekend by revealing that he was frustrated by another trophyless season at the Emirates.
“I cannot say anything other than that this season was not successful, we are not happy with it because we did not win any trophy, and this is what we fought for.”
The charismatic Pole, who will line up as his country’s number one (ahead of Lukasz Fabianski) when Euro 2012 kicks-off in Warsaw in June, made clear that Premier League disappointment had not dampened his enthusiasm for the challenge awaiting this summer.
“I intend to win the Euros, I do not know to what extent it’s a dream, but that’s the objective and I will fight with all my strength to achieve this.
While the joint hosts are certainly long-shots for international glory, the strength of Borussia Dortmund trio Jakub Błaszczykowski, Robert Lewandowski, Łukasz Piszczek certainly hints at a bright future.
“Robert, Jakub and Lukasz are in excellent shape. Jakub is our captain and always gives his all to the team, Lukasz is is one of the best right-sided defenders in the world, and Robert is a splendid forward. We have a really good team.”
Lewandowski in particular has caught the eye in the Bundesliga leading the line for the reigning champions as they close in on a second successive title. Asked if he felt whether his compatriot could succeed in England, Szczesny explained that he’d have no qualms having the 23-year-old hitman on the books at Arsenal. (Disclaimer: This is not Arseblog News linking this fella with a move to Arsenal)
“Robert is in great form, he’s scored 20 goals already this season including the goal against Bayern which basically assures Borussia will be champions. His style would suit the Premier League and I’d accept him at Arsenal with open arms.”
Speaking ahead of Saturday’s massive clash with Chelsea, Szczesny was also asked to give his thoughts on the Stamford Bridge side’s chances against Barcelona, a side he faced in last year’s Champions League.
“For me I think Chelsea will draw with Barcelona at home, but in the second leg at the Nou Camp they’ll get a good thrashing.”
Fair play to Wojciech, I suppose he’s just saying what we’re all thinking and hoping. He’d better back up his cheekiness with a stellar performance this weekend.
Cheers to @SiuFay for the interview heads up.
No better man than the ” Mighty Pole In The Goal ”
AFC Forever !
Love me some SZCZ
I have to disagree. I can understand that Arsenal fans like him for this, but he probably shouldn’t be talking about it. Whilst I don’t have a problem with it being a Chelsea fan, I can imagine other fans would take offence to something like this. If he think we will get beaten, fair enough, guess I think I’d rather get beaten in the semi’s than in the last 16 or group stage (not meant to be a dig at Arsenal).
Look forward to Chelsea wiping that smirk of is rosy polish cheeks
gonna have to wait a long time for that mate.
Saturday a long time by any chance? This guy perennially seems to open his huge gob with both feet stuck in it. How many times is he going to embarrass you lot with his ‘predictions’…and as for you Siufay, slice of lemon with that comment?
SZCZ embarass arsenal? What oh what my deluded friend, could be more embarassing than having John Terry representing your football club?
It will be fun watching chelski get beat by the Gunners. Now leave this site and fuck off.
http://thelifeofanarsenalsupporter.blogspot.com/2011/10/well-everton-v-man-utd-game.html
just a quick stat
3 – number of times John Terry is about to fall on his arse against us
Maybe you want to compare trophies with JT…oh no you cant cos you’ve won fuc£ all!! JT captain, leader, legend.
We’ll see how we get on with Barca…we’ll send Cesc all your love!! :oP
Even he has slated your club in the press, aparantly he’s a better player now!
SZCZ!!
me gusta shezzy mucho
dislikes for spanish, come on, I’m trying to show all of my internet friends I’m smart…
In fairness, it’s not the Spanish… There’s some few chavs trolling around. Apparently they dislike anything sensible. And probably they not smart enough to understand that anyway.
I like it how he’s a cunt to our opponents , Wilshere on the other hand is supporting them ,because they are ENGRISH!!
maybe you should boo jack for the whole of next season for that one.
i know loads of arsenal fans who route for english teams in europe. i personally wouldn’t piss on chelsea if it was on fire. but all the same, he is no less an arsenal lad because it.
Socrates Johnson = troll…go away
El biondo, just telling it like i see it. Therefore you = go away permanently
Chesney should concentrate on not letting stupid goals in and keeping his gob shut. Second Wigan Goal was 100 % his fault
I thought It was 70% refs fault ,10% Sagna,10% Arteta’s injury ,10% Chesney
Really? I thought it was 120% Ramsey and 80% Djourou.
it is only you.
It’s laughable. Every single article about a player interview, there’s always some wise ass who says- Oh I think he should focus on his football, he slipped last match he should be sharpening his studs…. blah blah blah… Face it, it’s part of their job and we like to hear from them anyway!
Hope SZCZ drop kicks John Terry into another dimension on saturday, a dimension where all the cunts hang out and he by default will be crowned king of the cunt dimension. Lets face it thats more likely then him and his racist, disrespectful team/fans of turbo-cunts being crowned champions of europe!
I’m pretty sure you’ve just described Chelsea, so he seems to be in the right place already
This geezer is a cunt!
Who? John Terry?
Yeh, we know he’s a cunt.
Another person from the Cuntiverse!
Oh, you said “geezer”? You must be a proper cockney…
Is it only me, you sir, are a glory hunter. Are you satisfied that someone read and replied to your bullshit??. Jog on.
Anyway sczc is going to be a world class keeper. (if he ain’t already), but i’d sure hate to be fabianski, surely he must be sick of playing 2nd fiddle for both club and country!!.
Szcz is already a legend.
Love the guy!
COYG!!!!!
I fooking love sir Chesney. He talks to the press like he’s down the pub.
fucking love Szczesny.
all those years with fappy and droopy actually seem worth it now that ironarms is between the sticks.
all he needs now is a tasch and a ponytail.
Strong contender, along with Andre Santos of course, for the coolest motherf*cker in the premier league.
Lots of arsenal haters on here today. Why don’t you fook off instead of hating a gunners blog! Stop being nosy!
Don’t worry you we get your thrashing first at the Emirate. Drogba alone we kill your entire team, you are lucky last time he didn’t play. This time around no hiding place for you come this weekend
okay lads, seriously, who opened up the cage and let the retarded chelsea fans out?
Their carers.
I come here for a good time with gooner fans. So when a f**king, no good, retarded, obnoxious, sardonic, depressed Chelshit fan comes on and talks, it really upsets me. Mate look @ the f**king table and worry about whether your team would make champions league football before being a massive cunt.
Oh, and we’ll win.
3-1 Chelsea on saturday. Cunt
Funny how all these Chelshit fans have such a bad grasp of English. “Don’t worry you we get your thrashing first at the Emirate.”? Poor. Either a moron (which would fit) or someone posting from the other side of the world who’s never even been to a PL game.
Dream on knob head we wiped the floor with you’s at shithole Stamford bridge and will do the same on Saturday, walcott to score and RVP to get back to scoring again
dream on fag stick
Make sure you come back on our blog after game on Saturday you fucking halfwit and fuck off till then prick
Fuck off you chelsea cunts
I love his spirit… but I’m still a little bit scared…
Arsenal is 100-percent more awesome than Chelsea, but no Miki? Urg!
In other developments, Lionel Messi bags a hat trick that left Chelski coach, Terry wondering why his predecessors ever signed a tourist in Torres.
So we’re going to sign Lewandowski. Awesome!!!
that’s the problem with arsenal, they get cocky, and over confident, now the reason he thinks they will win is because Chelsea will be tired, well wat happened in wigan is cuz of over confidence, i seriously want sczezny to keep quiet till the rest of the season, and djourou not make comments at any game cuz he wont play in them, and they should know wen they play with ramsey they will be slow wen in attack, and the key in this game is counter attacking thats were chelsea is the weakest.
Replace the 32 in your username with an ‘l’ and you have a pretty good description of my reaction to your comment.
That drogba should consider a career in acting with busquets and ribery as his mentors. I’m sure he’d go all the way, better yet, the OSCARS.
Hi girls!! How is life? Seems your keeper is on for a real thrashing on Saturday. Haha I love the way your average players speak about CL football. Has this ever played a CL semi? And have any of your players won a trophy? Hahaha, you can sell your trophy cabin to Liverpool. At least they win something. Poor girls
Ignorant comment is ignorant …
Oh do tell me how you’ve only won one trophy in the last 7 years…. Less trophies than Arsenal i your history and only 1 more in the last 7 seasons. Now move along, learn your own clubs history and then come back and not act like a muppet
Go fuck yourself, barca will destroy you scum over two games and you’ll be watching channel five next season prick
irish gunner, you’ll be watching channel 5 next season. We’ll give you gooners a good beating on saturday.
Who’s in 3rd and who’s in 6th? You seem to be confused as to where the Europa league positions start.
He can speak about CL football as he is part of a club which is always there. Mata speaks about the CL. How many semis has he played in then dickhead? We’ll always be there – unlike your shit lot next season. Ha ha! Enjoy Channel 5.
Dear Chelshit fans, Have you not realised that since the russian took over, you’re not chelsea anymore? Just a money laundering operation for a russian gangster. Your captain is a racist pikey cunt. All of your players decided not to perform to get avb the sack, then decide to play once they suceeded. Classy! Your dumb owner has spent more money on manager compensation than wenger has spent on players in fifteen years and that was before the £23 million on avb. What a fucking joke your mickey mouse club is. Finally, you talk about trophies. Fancy getting them out… Read more »
Massive ‘like’!
You gooners, always the brides maids, never the bride.
now shut your whole and crawl back to the library.
Lets get the trophies out you muppet, you might have to dust yours down as its been a while since you’ve won anything.
BTW – at least Roman digs deep into his pocket and puts his money where his mouth is. WTF have Kranky and Usmonov done??
Your such a great club all your top players leave every season…I can picture RVP now in a city shirt…suits him!! I suppose the natural progression is to work your way up through citys feeder club and into their first team!
you’d like to buy a trophy fuckhole
Yes, we’ll get our 27 trophies out to your 16… I think i know which is the bigger number.
HaHa classic jeff
Travis, think you should run along and spend a bit more time trying to work out just why does it always rain on you
Now tell me, why the fucking hell are you using ‘girls’ as an insult?
Go back to playing with yourself, mate…
^^^Douchebag alert.
What a prick. And a ridiculous comment to make. There’s no glory in the League and FA cup anymore. Particularly when your not playing in the champions league. Spending milions and millions on shat like Torres to continue to buy your trophies is also laughable. To even contemplate that Liverpoool are more successful then us is truly laughable. Trophies are important but mean nothing if you don’t play in europes elite cup. Liverpool played their best side all the way through the league cup, why?, because it was there only chance to play in Europe and because they are no… Read more »
Let the Chelsea fans come in. We can just laugh at their league position and 5-3.
Thing Szczesny was being a bit generous to Chelsea when he predicted a draw at Stamford. Barca to win.
[…] masih meragukan sang pemain bisa bermain karena cedera sang pemain muda dapat menyiksanya. Kondisi cedera yang dialami Jack Wilshere, manajer Arsenal yakni Arsene Wenger terpaksa sampaik… Melihat sejumlah perkembangan Jack Wilshere tersebut terlihat tidak sesuai harapan maupun peluang […]
This geezer is a serial gob shite, he was predicting Arsenal greatness in the standard just hours before Wigan stuffed you at home, I can see him making a few blunders on Saturday, I,m not sure he is all there if i’m honest.
Hmmmm, a footballer answering a question posed by a journalist and being confident in his own teams ability to win. What’s he going to say “we’re going to lose, no point turning up”… I fail to see what he’s done wrong. Did he sleep with a team mates missus? Was he racist to other players? No to both? Move along troll and wipe up the drool on the way out
And here we are again, another year and empty handed again, tell me are you with Arsene this week or have you had enough again???
I’ve always stuck with Arsene and will continue to do so, until he either setps down or gets promoted, as he’s our manager; Not that Chelsea fans know what that’s like. Do you have sweepstakes on how many managers you can get through each season or do you just follow Terry and his club-wielding ways? How many trophies have Chelsea won this season then? Please do remind me
*steps
You’ll have to change your name tomorrow fuckwit
If we have to be surrounded by tossers, it may as well be at their expense. Anyone fancy joining me on a Chelsea blog?
Nah, maybe not!
A repeat of the result at the chavs’ fulham shithole on Saturday please…5-3 if memory serves me right ..especially the bit where Terry flaps around on the floor looking like an even bigger cunt than he really is!
and claims to have slipped rather than admit he’s got the turning circle of the Titanic and the speed of moss growing on his knuckles while they’re dragged along the ground.
how do you want your words served to you on saturday afternoon jerk?
How ever you choose to eat them they will be bitter.
How did you have them served when you lost 5-3 to us?
Why on earth are people who have school children playing for their team, and having their best run in 7 years guarantee only a max 3rd place finish talking bout Chelsea (whose worst season in 10 years is still a possibility of the FA Cup and CL)? 1) They are annoyed about not having a purse, forget money? 2) All players become good players only to leave the club? 3) They are known to having captains leave them? and the irony, is that they talk about JT! 🙂 4) Their consideration in buying goalkeepers are: a) Name shouldn’t be easy… Read more »
Rajiv,
Shouldn’t you be supporting man city now, glory hunting cunt.
Bet you don’t even know where stamford (shithole) bridge is.
Now fuck off and go on your own blogs, you sad cunt.
Oh and learn to spell.
Arsn8 dont forget that for our last 16 meetings us blues have not won 3 matches only, you now know
What?
So I wasn’t going to contribute to this malarky, BUT, this is fucking hysterical. I mean, if you can’t write or spell on the level of a common 3 year old, why bother coming to an arsenal blog to talk shit? What a twat. Thanks for the laugh Dickson.
Haha
Jesus. We see off the six months of Spud trolling only to now be inundated with Chav ones…
For those who can read, yes, your team, from JT to Dogboy, is a fine selection of upstanding individuals that will be a credit to next season´s Europa League.
Happy ? Now do one, the lot of you…
i think you gooners are loosing at the right time, to add on that dont forget that for the last 7 yrs you have been playing friendly matches since you enter emirates stadium….i can compare you with a woman who reached menopouse, on saturday we will give you 6 good ones in your ground..carry big buskets with yourselves to take those goals, chelsea for life,
Dickhead kipkoech
What does loosing mean?
What a bunch of Chav nobheads. When you have history come talk to us. A few bought leagues and FA cups does not make you a great club, only a rich club!. I suspect alot of you don’t go to watch your beloved Chavski now and certainly didn’t go before the Russian made your club his playground!. The fact you have mercenaries and racists playing for you says it all really.
Riddle me this; why can’t Chelsea fans spell? I think its because due to recent success, their fan base is made up people who just started watching football @ the time, saw Chelsea have moderate success and a lot of money and said “hey I’ll join them since that’s all the money I’ll ever make and it’ll b cool to pretend through supporting a club I have some of their money” dregs of society. You can’t buy class and come sunday we’ll remind you of that, Again!
These cunts are all posting from the Far East and Africa. Nothing else would explain the grammar.
I’m relatively certain poor grammar skills aren’t exclusive to those regions…
Win the euros about as much chance as as Wegner winning a trophy in the another 7 years………
Who’s wegner?
Chelsea’s next manager? I think they’re going to try out Wegner this coming season as the original is a far better manager than their clump of recent posers, so they need the closest thing.
Hmmh!! Cuntmania in here tonight.
Yes John Terry let his retarded children out.
Sorry Wegner might have on a trophy recently for arsenal unlike the current manager, also unlucky Chelsea tonight (sic)
With a packet of sweets and a cheeky smile your manager is a ………….. Quite apt
How quiet was Shatford Bridge tonight?
5-3
As Jessie Jay says WHO’S LAUGHING NOW!!!!!!! Chelsea in the Champions League FINAL
Up yours Szczesny!!!!!
CHELSEA FOREVER
