He meant crying eyes.
Btw, Chelsea did win the CL and EPL has a lot more stars than Serie A so yeah, Wenger was wrong to say that but what he said wasn't wrong.
Actually it was wrong, EPL better than serie A is true statement nodoubt but moving from a club like arsenal to Juve is a step down for a player !!
What good does it make to waste all your career in the premier league playing for a club like fulham for example ( don't see much difference with Arsenal these days with the exception of CL football) and winning absolutely nothing !
When on the other hand, you have a choice to play in a club like Juve or Bayern Munich for example that both play in an inferior "leagues" yet they have a real ambition to win trophies every season (not just participate).
