Arsenal manager reflects on the most challenging moment of his career.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has spoken out on what has
been the most challenging moment of his Arsenal career.
The Gunners’ 27 points from 17
Premier League games marks their worst ever start to a league season in 18
years.
Arsenal travel to Wigan Athletic on Saturday
afternoon looking to climb back into the top three of the Barclays Premier
League, after what has been one of the most testing spells of Wenger’s 16 years
at the helm.
While Arsenal may not be the same
club the French man walked into
back in October 1996, Wenger feels his work is far from done.
“I am never satisfied. I just try to
do my best,” said Wenger, who current deal runs until 2014.
“I have been the most criticised in
the last seven years (without a trophy), but I feel for a manager it was more
difficult in the first years.”
Asked to reflect on how history would
remember his time at Arsenal, Wenger joked:
“The Mayans were wrong - the end of
the world came at Bradford!”
Defeat in the Capital One Cup by
Championship outfit Bradford City was unquestionably a major setback to
Arsenal’s hopes of silverware this season, although there is still the FA Cup
to play for and the Champions League.
