Willian has sent a message to Arsenal supporters after his exit from the north London club was confirmed. Now, after his return to Brazil was confirmed, Willian has sent a detailed message to the Gunners fan base via his Instagram page.
Willian said: “I would like to thank Arsenal for the opportunity they have given to me and for the warm welcome received by everybody at the club. Unfortunately things on the pitch didn’t go the way we had all planned and hoped, I received a lot of criticism especially from some members of the press that I had come here for financial reasons. I hope with my actions today explain to those people and they now understand that was not the case. I hope it teaches some people that they should not be so quick to pass judgement and create bad environments to make themselves important even though I accept that’s part of the game. All my career I have done everything to be the best I can be. I always want to win and I find it hard to accept not doing so. Unfortunately it didn’t happen for me at Arsenal and I am sorry about that. I came to England in 2013 and I have enjoyed every minute of my time here. I want to thank everyone who has helped me along the way to play in this wonderful league that is full of heart and spirit.”
