Bitter Arsenal defender Gallas criticizes Chelsea

Soccer Betting Lines

11/28/2008 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Arsenal defender William Gallas has turned his ire towards Chelsea by claiming that his former club "made his life hell."

The 31-year-old France international, who was stripped of the captain's armband by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger after criticizing his team-mates last week, has also revealed that he almost joined AC Milan.

Gallas spent five years at Stamford Bridge before moving to Arsenal in 2006.

He said in his autobiography: "Peter Kenyon, Chelsea's chief executive, was against satisfying my demands. He made my life hell.

"In May 2006, I told the press of Milan's interest and my desire to leave the club and of the very attractive offer Milan had proposed.

"This prestigious Italian team were offering me a salary higher than that which I was asking of Chelsea.

"Straight away, I was seduced. Not because of the Euros but of the faith a club gives you, the value they put on you.

"Chelsea said they wanted to keep me and their offer was still open. No-one knows how laughable their offer was and what I deserved.

"No-one knows at what point the stretched-out hand of Chelsea resembles a beautiful package that has nothing inside."
