According to the footballer, he was unfairly treated by the English Premier League side when his dedication towards the club was questioned.
Song suggested that even though he was trying his best, there were those at his former club who thought that he was not giving his all during training.
The 24-year-old was rather upset with the way he bid farewell to the London outfit; however, he asserted that it is for the better.
Signing for Barca has been significantly important for the versatile footballer and he is elated with the move which will likely see him play an important role at the Nou Camp.
Prior to signing with the Catalan giants, the Cameroonian faced a difficult time with the Gunners.
Apparently, the footballer asked for a 5-year contract with the Emirates Stadium outfit but he was constantly denied a renewal on a contract which already had 3 years remaining.
Song expressed that he did not intend to renew his contract to increase his wages, in fact he wanted to cement his future at the Emirates Stadium.
The midfielder maintained that he has great love and respect for Arsenal, however, he did not receive the same affection from the North London outfit.
While talking to reporters, the midfielder was quoted as saying:
"If the best club in the world spots your talent, you must be doing something right. If Arsenal thought that I didn’t give my all in training, then maybe they didn’t understand what I gave on the pitch and that’s why they didn’t want to talk about renewing
my contract.”
"They said that I had a bad attitude and that I constantly arrived late to training. That made me really angry. Those accusations hurt me. They were slanderous. I just wanted to continue playing at the club, to stay forever.”
Alex Song debuted for Barcelona during their Supercopa de Espana match against Real Madrid.
