KOCHA wa klabu ya soka ya Arsenal, Arsene Wenger (59) leo ameamua kusema ya moyoni, kaeleza undani wa mambo mengi ambayo hajawahi kuyasema tangu ajiunge na The Gunners miaka 13 iliyopita.

Wenger amesema amekataa kujiunga na Real Madrid kwa sababu angefanya hivyo ANGEISALITI Arsenal.

Kwa mujibu wa kocha huyo, miaka minne iliyopita alianzisha mradi wa kuiimarisha Arsenal, anataka aone matunda ya kazi yake.

Wenger anaamini kwamba, kwa kazi aliyoifanya atashinda taji akiwa na Arsenal.

Amesema, mradi wake ulikuwa wa miaka minne, karibu utakwisha, na kwamba Arsenal imeiva na ipo tayari kuwa bingwa.

Amesema, mikakati yake ni tofauti na ya makocha wengine wenye mtazamo wa kununua wachezaji kila wakati, na ipo siku wanaompinga watakiri na kumpongeza.

Ametoa mfano kwamba, wakati Fabregas alipojiunga na Arsenal akikuwa na umri wa miaka 19, uchezaji wake haukuendana na wa Patrick Vieira.

Uchezaji wa Vieira uliendana na wa Gilberto Da Silva, hivyo kama asingemuuza Vieira, Fabregas angehama hivyo aliamua kurisk kwa kumuuza Vieira.

Amesema, amemnunua Jack Wilshere (17), atafanya kama alivyofanya kwa Fabregas.

Wenger amesema, amewauza Kolo Toure na Amanuel Adebayor, ila swali kubwa kwake lilikuwa endapo angeweza kumuuza Adebayor.

Kasema jibu la swali lake lilikuwa hivi, unaweza kushindana na nguvu ya fedha ya Manchester City wanaotaka kutengeneza timu kubwa? jibu ni kwamba ASINGEWEZA.

Wenger kasema, Arsenal wasingemuuza Adebayor, City wangemnunua Samuel Eto'o kwa kuwa wana 'mkwanja'.

Sijaelewa jibu la Wenger kuhusu Adebayor, ni kweli Man City wana 'kisu' cha kununua wachezaji, lakini kuna uhusiano gani kati ya fedha hizo na kumuuza Adebayor?

Kama City wangemnunua Eto'o, Arsenal wangeathirika nini kwa kubaki na Adebayor? sijamuelewa!

In his most detailed interview since arriving at Arsenal 13 years ago, Wenger admitted he knew exactly the scale of the project he was turning down when he rejected the opportunity to work with Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka at Madrid this season.

He says he stayed because he believes he can win the title with Arsenal.

‘I felt if I left I would have in some way betrayed my beliefs,’ Wenger told Sportsmail as he launched Arsenal’s Great Ormond Street charity appeal.

‘It was that simple. It was nothing to do with Real Madrid, it was about Arsenal.

‘I knew what Madrid were about to do, but I have a project here that I started four years ago and I wanted to reach the end of it.

I could not leave this team at this stage of their development.

The team we have now gets there, and by that I mean it wins the championship.

At 22 or 23 I think a team is mature enough to deliver and it is a massively important year for our club. I am conscious of that.

I know people have no patience any more, but I agreed on a structure at the club that I believed could work, and we are at the period now when we will see whether I was right.

‘To talk of winning the league is an audacious statement but I built this team and I want to deliver with this team.

‘So far, we have flirted with success. We were never in the race for the championship last year, but before that, and certainly in 2006, when we were in the Champions League final, it happened.

‘The team looks to be growing and gelling and being close, but at the moment they do not get credit for what they produce and, like every team who have not won a trophy,they still doubt whether they can win.

‘Other clubs have more money but that is not difficult for me.

At Arsenal, we try to go a different way that, for me, is respectable. When you look to buy all the time it becomes a trap.

‘When Cesc Fabregas was a teenager, I would play him with Patrick Vieira and it did not work.

Gilberto Silva and Vieira worked, Fabregas and Silva worked, but I could not play Fabregas and Vieira.

But Fabregas was 19 and if he did not play I knew he would want to go, so we risked destroying everything, all the work we had put into this player. That is why I sold Vieira.

‘Now we have that situation with Jack Wilshere.

He is 17 and we cannot ask him to play every game to win the championship.

But next year he will be ready, he will want to play all the time and if we have bought a player in his position he will want to go.

Prize assets: Wenger has nurtured Fabregas' many talents and the 59-year-old looks to do the same with Wilshere ‘I believe in work, in connections between the players.

You can win in different ways, by being more of a team, or by having better individual players, but I think what is more important is to look at what you have at your own club.

‘If I had gone to Real Madrid I would have spent, yes.

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.

’
Wenger also defended selling two of his first-team players, Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure, to Manchester City, tipped as strong challengers to Arsenal this season.

‘My only question was whether we could afford to sell Adebayor,’ Wenger added.

‘You come to the conclusion, can you stop Manchester City creating a big team? I don’t believe so.

If we do not sell Adebayor they will buy Samuel Eto’o or somebody because they have the resources.
