Title Race Not Yet Over- Wenger


Arsène Wenger at White Hart Lane

Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger  insists the title race isn’t over despite dropping points last weekend in Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur. 
“The Premier League is far from being over. Just to remind you, we have beaten Leicester twice so we have done our job against them. People have to look at other teams more, not just us on that front. We will not give up the Premier League, we will fight until the end.
“We had a performance [at Tottenham] where we took only one point and the three were possible. [But] we have shown the mental response that everyone wanted from us.
“When people question the spirit it doesn’t mean they are right. Our spirit was questioned after Swansea… we can only go on the pitch and do our job, no matter what people say.
“What people say should not influence us. They have to be influenced by our desire to win the game and by giving our best.”

Arsene Wenger like never seen before

Designer jackets and suits, who knew the Frenchman was this dapper? Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger recently had a photo shoot and lengthy interview with L’Equipe’s Sport and Style magazine.

One interesting claim he made during the new interview was that he brings out the ‘beauty in man’.

‘In the religious world, it is said that God created man. I am only a guide. I allow others to express what they have in them. I have not created anything. I am a facilitator of what is beautiful in man. 

He continued, ‘I define myself as an optimist. My constant battle in this job is to bring out the beauty in man. You could call me naive. At the same time, it allows me to believe in that and, more often, proves me right.’

Wenger wants Cristiano Ronaldo to be less fixated on personal achievements

 
Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger
has implored Real Madrid striker, Cristiano Ronaldo to be less fixated on his personal achievements. The Frenchman’s advice came on the heels of Cristiano
Ronaldo’s recent claim that he is better than his Barcelona nemesis, Lionel
Messi.  The 63 year-old coach  believes that Ronaldo’s obsession with individual
accolades could ruin his career.

He told reporters, “He is the best player in the
world – with Messi. Messi has a little advantage on assists. But I would go for
nobody because it is not my problem at the moment. I’ve seen careers being
destroyed because players are too obsessed with individual rewards. I can tell
you that maybe another day but it encourages selfishness. And it encourages
people inside the game to go more for their own gain when others are in a
better position. You can be No.1 in the world in March and no.250 in May. Sport
is always moving.”

Mourinho brands FA fine 'a disgrace', takes a dig at Wenger

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is obsessed with his archival, Arsene Wenger. He (more recently) never misses an opportunity to throw shades at the french man.
The Portuguese coach has branded his recent fine and one-match stadium ban by Football Association (FA) fine a “disgrace” after being ordered to pay £50,000. He was handed the hefty punishment yesterday after he claimed officials were afraid to award his team penalties after referee Robert Madley denied Chelsea a penalty during their 3-1 loss to Southampton.
The 52-year-old said that it could  have only been worse if he was made to wear an electronic tag.

“I’m happy I don’t have an electronic tag. £50,000 is a disgrace. The possibility of getting a stadium ban is astonishing.”

“Afraid costs £50,000. Weak and naive – you can do it,” He added, taking a dig at the Arsenal coach who was unpunished for calling Mike Dean “weak” and “naive” following Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat by Chelsea last month. “We can push people in the technical area. We can, no problem.” He chipped in.

Arsene Wenger's reaction to Thierry Henry's suggestion that Arsenal should sign Benzema.

Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger has reacted to a suggestion by the club’s legend, Henry Thierry that the Gunners could win the league if they signed Benzema from Real Madrid this summer.

“I respect Thierry Henry a lot for his football knowledge but it’s not as mathematical as that. I believe we can win the league. We look when we go forward like we can score goals. Even when we were dominated in the second half against Chelsea, every time we crossed the halfway line it looked like something could happen. 

“I think we have to develop our collective game and we have to depend less on one guy that comes in and scores all the goals. I don’t see why a player like Oxlade-Chamberlain should not have an ambition to score 10 goals, Sanchez can score goals and Ozil has to fix himself a target of at least 10. We can share that more than when Thierry played. I think Giroud will not be far from 20, if he had played all of last season he would have scored 20. Walcott as well.”
