Arsenal defender White dispels myth of ‘hate’ for football

Arsenal defender Ben White has dispelled the suggestion that he ‘hates’ football.

White’s character has intrigued with the defender having admitted that football is not a huge passion away from the pitch. He is also currently undergoing a self-imposed exile from the England set-up despite his consistent performances for Arsenal.



 

However, the 27-year-old has explained past comments and refuted suggestions he ‘hates football’. The defender explained that his decision not to watch games is due to a desire to switch off from the sport when away from Arsenal, given the intensity of being a Premier League player.

“No of course not,” White told Ben Foster for Amazon Prime Sport when asked if he ‘hates’ football.

“Obviously I don’t watch it. For me it’s not a big deal. In training the amount of videos you watch is so extreme, when I come home I just want to forget about it. There is no football on, don’t talk about it when I come home. It’s just like it’s not my job.



 

“People think I don’t love it, but I could probably tell you most things about every winger I’m going to come up against.”
