Arsène Wenger did not want to give any clues about Arsenal's offer for Karim Benzema. The coach of the gunners was asked after winning the Community Shield against Chelsea about his club's interest in the Frenchman and the response did not depart from his usual tactic: "No, honestly not." Benzema is the top candidate on the list of reinforcements he wants for his team and his coaches do not consider any other name before going all out for him.
Victory over Chelsea: "It was an intense match, you can see that the teams played with concentration and commitment. Every time we attacked, we created chances, the best ones came from our side."
Defensive game: "Our game is based on solidarity. We didn't concede a goal against a team like Chelsea, with that attacking potential."
Wilshere: "He couldn't play due to an ankle problem that recurred in training. We don't think it's anything serious."
Premier League: "We have a tough start in the Premier League. We need to maintain a good level from day one."
Petr Cech: "He has had a great impact because it may have made the Chelsea players think they had to score the perfect goal to beat him."
