N'Zogbia will learn from mistake - Martinez
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez has praised Charles N'Zogbia for his mature response after his arrest yesterday for a "naive mistake".[LNB] N'Zogbia was arrested at Sale driving test centre on suspicion of fraud by false representation before being released on bail until June 3 pending further enquiries.[LNB]It is understood officials called police after suspecting he had got someone else to take the theory section of his test ahead of the practical examination he was due to take yesterday.[LNB]N'Zogbia, hero of Sunday's 3-2 victory over Arsenal with his stoppage-time winning goal, has since co-operated fully with the police and club, which is likely to act in his favour.[LNB]Although far from condoning N'Zogbia's actions, Martinez feels the 23-year-old will learn from the experience and be stronger for it.[LNB]"The way I see the whole situation is that Charles has been badly advised, and he's made a naive mistake," said Martinez.[LNB]"But straightaway he wanted to help with the police investigation. He has not caused any trouble or problem. He knows he has done wrong.[LNB]"Any human being can make a mistake. It happens in football, and it is how you react to them, and I feel he has handled this in a very mature way.[LNB]"It doesn't take away from what he has done, and obviously I'm not happy with what he's done.[LNB]"But I'm proud of his reaction, and if anything I think we're going to have a more mature player on our hands.[LNB]"I feel Charles is going to learn a lot, it's going to make him a stronger human being and a better footballer.[LNB]"From the football club point of view that can only be good news."[LNB]Given the reaction from N'Zogbia, who cost the Latics £6million 14 months ago when he joined from Newcastle, Martinez has promised the Frenchman the club's full support.[LNB]"We need to remember he is still a very young man, but he knows he is also a public figure," added Martinez.[LNB]"So we'll support him in everything where we feel we can help him. It's important he now sets the right example.[LNB]"We'll help him to ensure he focuses and is available to do what he does best, which is playing football, such as the way he did on Sunday.[LNB]"We've three games to go and he needs to make sure he finishes on a real high.[LNB]"At the same time we'll collaborate with the police and Charles to make sure we get out of this situation in a positive way."[LNB]
