Arsenal's perturbed coach, Arsene Wenger has made a
ridiculous claim that'll surely get him a lot of flak. Despite the possibility of his club not qualifying for the
Champions league, and going another season without silverware, he's said that
Arsenal is the best club in the world and football isn't all about wining
trophies.
The last time Arsenal won a major trophy was in 2004 and fan
pressure for him to leave the club this summer reached an all time high after
his 10-2 humiliation at the hands of Bayern Munich in this season's champions
League.
The veteran manager who has been at Arsenal since 1996 has
leaped to the defence of his record, stressing that he has helped build ‘the
best club in the world’.
‘For me Arsenal is the best club in the world and what we
have built is absolutely remarkable, not only on the results front but on the
values that this club, what we have built,’ Wenger told beIN Sports.
''Of course a football club is about winning, it’s as well
about values.‘Nobody talks about that anymore but sport is as well about values
and I think integrity, respect, humility, togetherness are very important
qualities and if you would visit our club you would see that they really exist
on a daily basis.
‘That is part of what I am proud as well.’You can basically
say that if you don’t win the championship it is not a successful season and I
can understand that but you take clubs like Liverpool and they have not won the
Premier League, they are a big club.
‘You have clubs like Man City, Man United, certainly the
championship will be won by Chelsea so we have all, and no matter how many we
are, Tottenham, all these clubs, every year only one will win it.’
