AS Roma winger Gervinho has taken a swipe at Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
Gervinho has revived his career since moving to the Giallorossi over a year ago.
"It is very hard to have confidence in yourself when the Coach does not have confidence in you - and it's clear at Arsenal that confidence was not shown in me.
"At Roma the Coach and the staff showed confidence in me from the first day - and because of that I have been able to show exactly what I am capable of.
"I don't feel like I have anything to prove in England. I think the proof of what I can do is shown by a Coach that has confidence in me.
"Maybe Arsenal now think they should have shown more confidence in me - but that is not my problem. All my concentration is on a successful season with Roma."
