Baros anger over lies

Baros was on the bench for the cup final with Harry Kewell taking his place in the starting line up and this has led to speculation that Baros threatened not to go to the game. However, the Czech striker has furiously denied the stories.

He said: "I was disappointed on Sunday because I play football so I can take part in great matches like this.
 
"All players want to play such great matches and I had played regularly before the Carling Cup final.
 
"But I didn't argue with anybody. That is nonsense. And it is a complete fabrication that I wanted to leave the Millennium Stadium. I would be going against myself if I came to such a decision.
 
"I was only disappointed and that is all. There is nothing more to say. The whole occasion is finished for me now."
