Football now more dramatic, tense because of money power: Wenger | The money that is being pumped into football has made the game 'much more dramatic and tense', feels Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. The French manager has spent 13 years with the Gunners, achieving
tremendous
trophy success and developing many young players into superstars. They stand third
in the Barclays Premier League this season, with a game in hand on second-placed
Manchester United, and another top-four finish appears a likelihood. A fascinating
tussle with fourth-placed Aston Villa awaits on Sunday, and Wenger said: "It is
a game where we can strengthen our position in the league, so that's why we will
be completely focused." Asked what differences he has noticed in the Premier
League
during his time in England, Wenger told an arsenal.com webchat there have been
both positive and negative changes. "It has become a worldwide product and when
I travel nowadays I see how popular this league has become and we shouldn't take
it for granted in England," The Mirror quoted him, as saying. "Firstly it's a
worldwide product, secondly the ownership has changed completely, the structure
of the game has changed. And don't forget, for example, referees have become
completely
professional.The league has become much more professional, the pressure has
become
much bigger, financial input has become much bigger which means the quality of
the games has become much better," he added. "I felt 13 years ago a defeat was
less dramatic than it is now, it's much more dramatic and tense," Wenger said
further. |
