Arsenal<\/a> striker Robin van Persie<\/a> has refuted allegations that he made negative comments about Barcelona<\/a> and Chelsea<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Netherlands international, who is gearing up for a game against Brazil on Saturday, was alleged to have said that Barca “nag” too much and that Chelsea are “always bitching against the referees”.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Gunners forward has, however, released a statement on the club’s official website to deny the comments, insisting that the interview never even took place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Van Persie said: “I’m on international duty at the moment, but following several reports in the media I think it’s important to clarify some recent comments attributed to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

“These reports falsely suggest that I recently made negative comments about Spanish and Chelsea players, I would like to make it perfectly clear that I haven’t done an interview with Sport 1<\/em> or any other outlet in recent weeks and I’ve certainly not been rude as the comments suggest.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I respect my colleagues of Spain and Chelsea and look forward to playing against them for many years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I sincerely hope that all football fans worldwide don’t take these misleading reports seriously.”<\/span><\/p>\n
