Incidents like this had happened at Arsenal before.
The usual approach was to downplay it, engage in some PR with the media to suppress the news cycle, and let the whole thing gradually blow over.
After all, for players, it's their performance in matches that does the talking.
As long as they played well, any off-the-pitch news would quickly be forgotten.
As for any blemishes on a player's record, it wasn't worth worrying about.
But who would have thought that this time, Arsenal would choose to stand their ground.
And that they would find evidence and turn the tables so quickly!
The Sun Newspaper had miscalculated!
As the team's head coach, Wenger stated that he had believed Alexandre Song was innocent from the very beginning and supported him in using legal means to protect his rights.
That meant suing the Sun Newspaper!
Wang Shuo himself never expected that his first public appearance as team captain would be under such circumstances.
