If this is what Laurent Koscielny understanding of friendship is about,then i will say i am not surprised he has committed more fouls in the penalty box that resulted to seven penalties,more than
any defender for the past seven seasons in the premier league,maybe he was being friendly to opponents,Lol.
As he has insisted Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and his Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho are friends despite their recent clash at Stamford Bridge.
"It's a long history of friendship between the two coaches," he told reporters.
"After Cahill's tackle, I think the coach was a little upset because
three days before Alexis Sanchez received the same tackle against
Galatasaray. The player only got a yellow card. [Wenger] flew out of
control."
Koscielny gave away a first-half penalty against
Chelsea, bringing down Eden Hazard, and the defender joked he could be
in the Guinness World Records books for number of spot-kicks given away.
"It is true that I have conceded many penalties [seven since arriving
in the Premier League]. I do not know if the Guinness Book of Records
has that kind of record," Koscielny said.
"I have played about
200 games, and conceded eight penalties for Arsenal and the French team.
If I could concede penalty kicks when the score is 4-0, it would be
better for sure, but we don't choose.
"This weekend, there was a
penalty. The situation must be judged early on. When Eden comes very
quickly, he either scores or I clear the ball. It was toss of a coin."
