Arsene Wenger

“My target is to make the players as rich as possible within the financial constraints of the club. My target is not to give them less money. I'm happy to make them rich.”

“As a coach you can influence the diet of your players. You can point out what is wrong.”

“The best football players in the world still earn very little money compared to people who really earn money.”

“If you have the money and you find the one player who can make you win and make the difference, no matter how expensive he is, you should do it. But there are not many players in the world who will make a real difference.”

“Sol has experience, pace and physical power, which nobody else has together.”

“Maintain that motivation to go from A to B and to keep your focus on that target without any weakening. That is called tenacity; stamina in your motivation.”

“We didn't think he would play on Sunday because he was suspended - that makes me think he has all the qualities to join Arsenal!”

“I believe one of the best things about managing people is that we can influence lives in a positive way. That's basically what a manager is about. When I can do that, I am very happy.”

“I think generally the Japanese players have more intensity in practice but generally I do the same things.”

“He made the impossible possible.”

“I think training of better Youth Coaches is essential.”

“At a young age winning is not the most important thing... the important thing is to develop creative and skilled players with good confidence.”

“You cannot say that you are happy when you don't win.”

“As a club, we have an educational purpose: to give back to those people who love Arsenal so that they learn moral values from our game and how we behave.”

“It's silly to work hard the whole week and then spoil it by not preparing properly before the game.”

“I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes an art.”

“At the end of the day, my optimistic personality always takes over.”

“When you look at people who are successful, you will find that they aren't the people who are motivated, but have consistency in their motivation.”
