When you represent a club it's about values and qualities, not about passports.
Arsene Wenger
Image
We don't sign superstars, we make them.
Arsene Wenger
Image
I take pride in the fact that people go home having felt that for 90 minutes today, life is beautiful - and that's it, basically. That's why professional football exists.
Arsene Wenger

You build a player like you build a house. You start with the foundations. The fundamentals.
Arsene Wenger

Any man who concentrates his energies totally on one passion is, by definition, someone who hurts the people close to him.

It is always a danger when you have a big game ahead, but there is only one way to prepare well for our Champions League game - and that is to do well tomorrow. Therefore, I feel there is a lot at stake for us tomorrow. It is a massive game for us.
