ASENE WENGER MAKES ADMISSION ABOUT TOTTENHAM
Former
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted that he never harboured any ‘hostility’
for Tottenham Hotspur.
The legendary Frenchman
enjoyed many-a-battle against the Gunners’ North London rivals.
Having spent 22 years at
Arsenal, Wenger got quite familiar with the feeling of coming up against
Tottenham.
And the 70-year-old has
revealed that his will to secure the bragging rights always stemmed from
competitiveness, not disdain.
He told The Guardian: “Hostility no, competition yes. It was vital that you beat
Tottenham for the respect of the club. Competition is important, as long as
it’s not crazy.
“When you
[were due to]
play Tottenham, at the start of the week everybody was a bit more
nervous than usual.”
It seems bizarre now, given
that Spurs regularly...
