Arsenal keeper Szczesny: Chelsea ruled by senior English players

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has taken a swipe at Chelsea's player power after the demise of Andre Villas-Boas. Villas-Boas clashed with senior players at Chelsea and 21-year-old Szczesny insisted no such cracks would ever appear in the Arsenal dressing room.

"I think some of the English players at Chelsea run the club, pretty much," said the goalkeeper. "They have had seven managers [since 2007] and it's a little bit different here. I don't think there has ever been danger of chaos with us this season.

"It's completely different at this club. In the dressing room, we know that Arsene Wenger is the boss. Robin van Persie is our captain and a leader but in the dressing room we're all even.

"All the players believe in what the manager is doing.

"Sometimes things don't go our way but we believe in the way the manager runs the club and the way he wants us to play football.

"We know that even if things go wrong for us, we'll still turn it around.

"That's what we've done in the last few weeks and I hope we can keep on doing it."
