Arsene wenger will be marking his 1000th game in charge of Arsenal as his team plays Chelsea this weekend,Although the Gunners are approaching the completion of a ninth year
without any silverware, Wenger believes the stepping stones are now
in place for a return to the glory days.
“It is a big honour to stay such a long time in such a big club, and
[reaching 1,000 games], we cannot predict,” he said. “We are in a job
where you go for the next game and try to do well in that next game.
Then step by step, sometimes you get to 1,000.
“Honestly, I am conscious I represent my club and that is much more
important than what is happening to me, so that game [against
Chelsea] will not be important because it is my 1,000th game, but it is
what is at stake for our season and for our club.
“I believe that when one day I look back at the first years, I will be
very proud of what I did — the second period has been a more
difficult period, a trophyless period, but it has been much more
difficult, much more sensitive and we needed much more commitment
and strengths than the first part of my stay here.
“I went for a change that I knew would be difficult because we had
to fight with clubs who could survive losses of 150 million pounds a
year, and we had to make 30 million pounds [to finance the new
stadium payments] and on top of that we had people saying ‘you have
to beat them’ — if I ask you tomorrow to race with Usain Bolt and
win the race, you will realise quickly it is difficult.
