5 Star Players Who Ever Rejected Arsenal

Throughout his career, Arsene Wenger has a reputation as a manager who likes to develop talented young players into superstars. The Frenchman plays a major role in the careers of great players like Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas, Marc Overmars and Freddie Ljungberg and many others.

Wenger, who has spent more than 2 decades as Arsenal manager, has won many titles such as the Premier League and FA Cup. Therefore, it is not wrong as well if he is one of the best managers in the Premier League.

Despite a good reputation, but not all players apparently willing to play under Wenger's care. Here are five players who had refused to join Arsenal as reported by Sportskeeda.

1. Vincent Kompany

The 31-year-old defender started his career at Belgian club Anderlecht and his performances attracted attention. He broke into Anderlecht's senior team at the age of 17 and won the Belgian League in his debut season.

When players of caliber like Kompany had to leave Belgium, Arsenal then reacted quickly. Arsene Wenger wants to bring the players to the club and Kompany suitable to the criteria the club wants.

However, Kompany did not believe could develop with Arsenal and finally decided to join Hamburg. After developing his talent in Germany, Kompany joined Manchester City.

2. Jamie Vardy

Jamie Vardy will be the name that always etched in Premier League history. The 30-year-old bomber scored a lot of goals in the 2015/16 season to deliver Leicester City to win the Premier League title.

Arsenal then interested in getting a signature at the beginning of the season. At that time many claimed that Vardy had a deal to move to Arsenal with a price tag of 22 million Euros.

However, Vardy seems to have other ideas. He declined the Gunners bid and decided to stay with Leicester.

3. Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a chance to join Arsenal in 2000. At that time he was impressive for Malmo and attracted the attention of other European clubs.

Arsene Wenger was one of the managers interested in recruiting Zlatan and the Swedish player was invited to come to London and was offered the number 9 costume at Arsenal.

Zlatan was invited to undergo a series of tests that allowed him to play at Arsenal. However, the Manchester United bomber denied the request.

4. Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez joined Liverpool in the 2011 winter transfer market and although very keen there, he was frustrated in the 2012-13 season as the Reds were unable to compete for the title. Suarez wants to leave and Arsenal was believed to be at the forefront to recruit the player.

After Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League, Suarez increasingly wanted to move to Arsenal. Arsene Wenger decided to recruit Suarez but had his own way by giving 40 million and 1 pound. The offer was clearly rejected by Liverpool.

Suarez then did not leave and decided to stay in Liverpool after receiving advice from Steven Gerrard. The following season, Suarez almost led Liverpool to a Premier League title before joining Barcelona.

5. Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo started his career with Sporting Lisbon. Ronaldo's performance attracted many teams to recruit him, including Liverpool, Barcelona, and Arsenal.

At that time Wenger was under pressure to ensure the club's finances remained balanced so they could move to the new stadium. Therefore, buying a young player into a solution and Cristiano Ronaldo is the right player.

The 2002-2003 season was Ronaldo's first appearance in Sporting Lisbon's senior team. Arsene Wenger was confident enough to get his autograph, even they met Ronaldo at Arsenal stadium in November 2002 to discuss a possible transfer.

However, Arsenal actually failed to recruit Ronaldo because Manchester United managed to hijack him. Sir Alex Ferguson got his autograph after reaching an agreement with the agent Jorge Mendes.

The Magical Feet of Thierry Henry

When Eric Cantona and Zlatan Ibrahimovic busy fighting over who should be king in Manchester, I just giggled and smiled inwardly.

Both are obviously great players in their respective generations. Cantona with the collar raised and Zlatan with egotism that measuring as big as the Old Trafford stadium.

But if the king had their own territory, the king in London clearly is Thierry Henry. Chelsea can be proud with Didier Drogba; Tottenham may chest with Les Ferdinand and Teddy Sheringham.

But only one (two if you count Dennis "The God" Bergkamp calculated) player in the era of the early 2000s that could make Arsenal play smart and realize what the real meaning of football for the British public that thirst for entertainment.

Came as exiles player from Juventus, the player's with the bald oval head like potato was transformed into Arsenal's top scorer all-time passing the record of Ian Wright.

Henry is the prototype of the modern striker who now looked at the figure of Lionel Messi or Luis Suarez and David Villa at the peak of his career. When considering the brilliant transformation of the left winger then becomes a center forward, Henry may be similar to the charm of Cristiano Ronaldo today.

In the early 2000s, not many world class striker who was present in the UK apart from Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp, ​​who coincidentally both uniformed Arsenal. I underline that sentence first, a world-class.

It means that they were not only playing well at club level but also have a good record when playing at international level. Indeed,  many great strikers in the Premier League at the time. Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke at Manchester United, Gianfranco Zola at Chelsea, or Michael Owen who just newly bloomed in Liverpool.

But Henry was special because he is a combination of the running strength and style ball dribbling. High-level creativity at the level of techniques and imaginative pass, to phenomenally placing the shot, and the ability to duel against each other.

Did you remember how many times the goalkeeper Fabien Barthez, the goalkeeper of Manchester United once his compatriots in the French team that has often become the playthings of the phenomenal goal of Henry? Or two streak ankle breaker of Henry on Dietmar Hamann and Jamie Carragher who drove him scored four goals against Liverpool?

It has not been coupled with a fantastic solo run goal that defeated Real Madrid (especially Sergio Ramos and Iker Casillas) and at the end sent Arsenal into the final of the European Champions League in 2005/2006 before defeated by Barcelona in the final.

**

I like Bergkamp; he is the embodiment of football is not just a matter of physical endurance and leg strength, but also imagination and fantasy. But Henry, simply put, is a combination of all of these things in one package.

If We want to use a simple analysis of why Arsenal are still without a title after the unbeaten season in 2003/2004 ago, Arsene Wenger's failure to rediscover the figure of attackers of the caliber of Henry is a missing piece from his observations.

Henry was the first in the history of Arsenal striker who can score 30 goals in 38 league games. He also holds the record in the league for assists record, 20 times in one season that almost impassable by Mesut Ozil last season.

The combination of scoring ability and willingness to pour tens of assist make a Thierry Henry statue is very decent to stands at the Emirates Stadium to ordain him as a king at Arsenal, as well as London, perhaps.

After Henry era, almost no world class striker of the caliber of Henry playing for Arsenal. Emmanuel Adebayor became a prisoner and mockery for the Gooners. Nicklas Bendtner was predicted to be a future attacker, precisely was competing to become like Mario Balotelli.

Marouane Chamakh's career was faded and alienated in Crystal Palace. Eduardo da Silva did not find any more sharpness after a broken leg. And the only sharp striker generated by Arsenal after Henry era just asked to move and become a champion in Manchester.

That's why the magic feet of Thierry Henry is the pieces of a puzzle that should have sought desperately by Wenger to rediscover the passion for playing football with an attractive and appealing style of Arsenal.

Often we watch Arsenal were dominant but failed to score. In addition to the ancient system, Arsenal is also less of the attacker that could penetrate the barricades opponent and score with ease. No explosive cannon as great as Henry, a sad fact, considering Arsenal filled with rows of class midfielders such as Mesut Ozil, Santi Cazorla, until Alexis Sanchez.

Criticism on Olivier Giroud and an inability of Arsenal forward line to maximize the chances are things will not happen in the time of Henry. If Giroud was able to score one goal in five chance of a clean, Henry maybe could have scored two or three goals with the same number of chance. Spot the difference.

You need a sharp attacker to be a champion, especially in long-format competition league. Barcelona ruled Spain since scoring is a routine every week.

Most of the league championship team will put the main attacker in the top ranks of the league's top scorer list. Last season, Paris Saint-Germain have Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Juventus entrenched Paulo Dybala, and Leicester City has a figure of Jamie Vardy.

Compare with Giroud and Sanchez who only scored 16 and 13 goals in the league. So naturally it was normal why Arsenal finish in second place last season? A lack of firepower will cost you the title, as I was told before, football is a quantity sport, who have scored more goals than his opponent, he wins, simple as that.

A series of facts that was making me miss the oval head like a potato of Thierry Henry and his magic feet running on the grass of Emirates while scoring in a way that makes us giggle because Henry was so easy to do that.

One sweet memory recorded in the mind when Henry was returned to Arsenal on loan for two months from New York Red Bull in January 2012.

In his debut match against Leeds United in the FA Cup, Henry entered in the second half, received a through ball from Alex Song, and with two touches, his typical placing shot sped smoothly into the goal of Leeds.

He was running around like a little kid, embrace Wenger on the touchline and then wept with emotion at the front row of Arsenal fans. I remember well the words match commentator for Henry's goal at the time, "He may be cast in bronze, but he's still capable of producing truly golden moments."

To close this article, like a human being, King Henry did not escape from sin. I give two keywords into great sins of Thierry Henry: Hand and the Republic of Ireland.

The sin that makes Henry will never be labeled 'alien' by the public of world football, because it was clear and evident he is a man, not a dwarf god who was defeating Peter Shilton with his left hand and then call it a masterpiece.

The return of Henry to Arsenal (vs. Leeds United - 2012):

Importance the stadium For Club and Country

A friend was stunned to see the greatness of the Camp Nou Stadium. Though the stadium was already counted elderly. After a while, he was surprised by the grandeur of the Santiago Bernabeu. Though he is a supporter of FC Barcelona.

What the author's friend does was not surprised. Humans have a tendency to be amazed at something large dimension. Therefore, it appears the phrase "size does matter." But the bigger does not necessarily mean better too.

For a professional football club, stadium presence is so important. Because of its importance, some players labeled superstar are often sold in order for the construction of the stadium run smoothly.

Just ask David Villa, David Silva, Nikola Zigic and Carlos Marchena which should create so that the Nou Mestalla project can continue. Although until now the project is stalled due to financial difficulties that plagued Valencia. Though Nou Mestalla is projected to rival the Santiago Bernabeu and Camp Nou with a capacity of 73 200 seats.

Arsenal is another example of the importance of a stadium. The Highbury stadium was too small for a club as big as Arsenal. Though initially Highbury stadium has a capacity of 70,000 spectators, since the case of Hillsborough in 1989, Arsenal and stadiums in England are required to have a seat entirely. Therefore, the capacity of Highbury was decreased to 38,000 spectators.

For clubs like Arsenal, the number of 38000 seats too stunted compared to Old Trafford, which became 75635 seats in 1996. Therefore, the Arsenal was building a new stadium at Ashburton Grove with construction costs amounted to 390 million pounds in 2004.

How clever they are, Arsenal got an extra 100 million pounds from Emirates Airlines as the naming rights of the stadium. Cooperation with the Emirates was touted as the largest cooperation throughout the United Kingdom football history at that time.

Granada Media took a five percent stake by investing amounted to 47 million pounds. Then working with Nike apparel that reportedly reaches 130 million pounds. Now Arsenal's costume supplied by Puma, after teaming up with Nike during the 20 years ending in 2014.

With a total value of cooperation reached 277 million pounds, do not be surprised if in January 2014 Arsene Wenger announced if Arsenal has already paid off the loan of the Emirates Stadium and are ready to buy expensive players.

Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez, Danny Welbeck, and Petr Cech were the names that have been purchased. Do not close the possibility in the future; Arsenal buys others players labeled superstar, with assuming the target and become the winner of Premier  League and Champions League.

In ancient times, the club never considered income from stadium ticket sales. However, with the continued rise of the club needs in order to compete with other teams, then the ticket sales and food sales at the stadium into a liability.

Everton also has a desire to have a new stadium with a large capacity to reap more profits. It was no wonder when Farhad Moshiri bought a 49.9 percent stake in Everton, Bill Kenwright dream of having a stadium. Similarly, the Evertonian.

The club is aware, although prices increased (as happened in the UK at this time), the audience will never subside. Clubs are no longer directing their goal (loyalty) to local audiences, which the distance from the house to the stadium just a stone's throw.

But the tourists from abroad. Just look, some Asian faces are often seen in stadiums, even in the stands near the square where the price is of course very high. In short, club capitalizes the globalization.

Look at Leicester City. The mediocre club which is now topped the Premier League has had snared a debt of 30 million pounds in 2002 after The Walkers Stadium completed. The reason is that Leicester was relegated from the Premier League at the time.

For the sake of balancing the balance sheet, Leicester sold the stadium right to the retired American institutions, TIAA-CREF. The relief arose when King Power bought The Walkers; the stadium was renamed the King Power Stadium in 2013. In the 2015 financial statements, Leicester wrote 10.7 million pounds in ticket sales.

Currently a stadium not only as a club owner to compete. Bayern Munchen is an example. With a capacity Allianz Arena is only 67 thousand, now Bayern wants increased to 75,000 seats. Besides the sake of revenue when the Bayern play, also for the sake of Euro 2020 held in 13 cities of Europe.

The city of Munich offered Package A, which includes three matches in the group phase and one game of 16 or quarter-finals. Then in Package B, which includes the semifinals and final. But the news came that Munich unregisters in Package B.

Is it important for Bayern Munich? Yes, it is. The income is the hell for sure. But the exposure of the name of the stadium and clubs all over the world become free advertising (because they do not make payments in real terms for it).

The problem of Bayern Munich is only one, the capacity required by UEFA is a stadium with 70,000 seats. While Allianz Arena has been reduced in capacity to 67.812 for international matches and European level competition.

The idea of ​​Real Madrid a step further than most clubs. Santiago Bernabeu, which has a capacity of 81 044 seats, will be reformed into a 93,000 seat making it the third largest five-star stadium, after the Camp Nou and the Azteca Stadium.

Florentino Perez ambition does not mess around. Besides the addition of capacity, the Bernabeu will add a new interior as VIP lounge which more exclusive, a roof that can be opened and closed, exterior covered by an appearance of LED lights, offices, restaurants, malls, hotels, new club's museums as well as underground parking areas. Unbelievable luxury!

For the sake of the project, Real Madrid needs a fund of 400 million euros. In order to be achieved, Perez will sell stadium naming. The name of Petroleum Investment Company (PIC), Microsoft and Coca-Cola came up.

Unfortunately, Tio Flo has to be patient after his great ambition was stopped by the High Court of the City of Madrid. The court asked that Real Madrid postponed the overhaul of the stadium because the European Investigation Commission conduct an investigation into suspicions of illegal aid from the government of the City of Madrid.

Whereas before the High Court of Madrid, Madrid City Council, as well as the General Development Plan of Madrid has issued its approval.

If Real Madrid just renews the old stadium, it's different with the rivals, FC Barcelona. Barca has the ambition to build a new stadium, in the land where Camp Nou stand.

If Real Madrid would prefer the commercial side in the planning, the FC Barcelona is more to the sport. The plan called Espai project was suspected as the biggest and best sports complexes in the world, located in the city center.

Imagine, 105,000 spectators in the stadium, 12,000 in Palau (sort of GOR), ice sports arenas, social and commercial zones, office, academy of La Masia and a parking lot with a capacity of 5,000 cars in one place in the city center. Incredible, right? But, wait.

With an estimated cost of 600 million euros, FC Barcelona had difficulty in financing. Therefore, the club has announced will give the naming rights to the sponsor.

Qatar Sports Investment (QSI) briefly glanced towards the offers. However, Barcelona impressed uncertainty to QSI. The reason was simple because Qatar allegedly became a supporter of funding terrorist groups and the actions of the Government in the construction of a World Cup Stadium. This reluctance extends to cooperation sponsor in the jersey that will run out soon.

Why do clubs compete to build the fancy stadium, while on the other side the television broadcasting rights soared? The reason is simple because my colleague that mentioned earlier in the first paragraph. Football clubs are aware, despite getting big broadcasting rights, viewers will still want to come to the stadium to feel different sensations.

According to a study by Deloitte, it said if revenue from stadium tickets are absolutely vital to a club. "While the revenues from the TV continued to rise in most leagues, this does not help the team in connection with the squad. To improve the club's ability to compete financially, the stadium that was the biggest advantage, "said Andrew Hampel, CEO of ISG.

Furthermore, Deloitte found the facts if the world's top nine clubs are in the top nine positions in the revenue from ticket sales.

"Although no significant improvements (that's important there is a renovation, although in a minor scale), it is possible for a club to improve the experience of watching the game for consumers (fans) and the ability to raise revenue from ticket sales," said Hampel.

Yes, the stadium is a stage for the squad to show their talents in front of the fans. This is why there is a saying home match often determine on behalf of the hosts. There is a spirit that is driven by the fans present at the stadium.

The audience did not come to the stadium to see the defeat or monotonous game of team. Nor to see amateur players play because they have already paid the expensive tickets.

That is why many famous clubs bring in players who well known, not only to help the first team squad capability and sales of merchandise, but also to attract viewers.

Look how full was Santiago Bernabeu when Cristiano Ronaldo was introduced to the public. At that time,  CR despite escorted by the security guard and the show was stopped in the middle of the event because many fans were entering the field.

For a country, the presence of the Stadium is very important ones. Hungary wants to rebuild a football power through the construction of stadiums in order to created a reincarnation of Mighty Magyars.

Portugal had spent 732 million US dollars to pay for construction of seven new stadiums for the sake of Euro 2004. This amount is still small compared to the 2002 World Cup in Japan Korea, where Japan spent 4.5 billion US dollars to build seven new stadiums and renovating three other stadiums.

In the 2014 World Cup Brazil spent 14 billion US dollars and reported 3.6 billion US dollars spent on parts of the construction and renovation of the stadium. Of course, the Brazilian government's actions to get the massive protests due to the condition of the people who are poor.

Although emerging controversy, the Brazilian government is not only thinking about the country's image alone.

The most prominent example is when the San Francisco 49ers built a new stadium in 1997 with the slogan "Build the Stadium-Create the Jobs!". Yes, with the construction of the stadium will create jobs in the stadium and the area around the stadium will be awakened anyway.

Jobs appeared not to confine themselves to the construction and housing sector merely. Hotels, restaurants, souvenir shops and office space around the stadium will require human resources.

The latest case is a violation of human rights by the government of Qatar in World Cup stadium construction. The safety factor of the workers who did not get the attention, worker accommodation which far away from humane, without clean water, and sleep in cramped place and meager salaries and must be cut to agents of workers, evoked sympathy from the international community.

But the government of Qatar is still continuing construction of the stadium until today. There is a certain political lobbying and urgency for Qatar to hold World Cup. Not for reasons of short-term economy, but long-term, and the country's image. However, before the image is achieved at the World Cup, Qatar name has been tarnished red blood.

Now with the rules of the Financial Fair Play (FFP), should make the club could be more relaxed and do not worry about gaps in the squad. FFP more or less curb clubs to spend money to buy the best players, regardless of losses.

Therefore, the less well-established club can focus on the construction of the stadium to create extra income in the future.

"In the era of Financial Fair Play, the club's ability to enhance the viewing experience for fans have been rising. Stable long-term income is vital, and the stadium is the best option, "said Richard Cheesman, Director of Business Development and Financing ISG.

It was correct what Cheesman said. Galatasaray, which has been a client of ISG, is in the 18 clubs who get income from stadium ticket. Though Galatasaray is outside of the five top European leagues.

Then there is Atletico Madrid rose to the position 15, Tottenham Hotspur in the top 13. Then there is FC Barcelona being the only club from the big four clubs in the big four position who earn income on ticket sales more than 100 million euros annually.

That's why the stadium as one of the points of verification infrastructure that is quite important for the professionalism of the club. Besides the sake of revenue from ticket sales, the club will be able to build a mass base of supporters in a planned manner.

Behind The Thin Smile of Arsene Wenger

www.espnfc.com

Indeed, a victory in the match on Friday (04/22/16) against West Bromwich Albion to make sure Arsenal rose to third positions to temporarily shift the Manchester City.

Two beautiful goals from Alexis Sanchez gave freshness amid gloomy shades at Emirates Stadium. Lately, turmoil aggravation of fans to the team's performance, as well as a manager, drifted so sharp.

Since the failure to bring home three points from home of West Ham United, the fans are so upset because Arsenal chances to be champions increasingly blurred. Again, Wenger comments when the press conference did not help clear the situation, or at least keep up. The senior manager of the thick graying just present, sorry, a common imbecility of parents that his method began to be eroded by times.

Starting from his comments to West Ham were lucky to get the rights to use the Olympic Stadium, which in my opinion "implies" vanity. Wenger puffed up chests and claiming that he is the most miserable figure behind Arsenal inconvenience built Emirates.

The vanity style which is embedded in between the lines made me stunned and tried to get rid of anger to the farthest side of my heart.

Toward the home match against West Brom, the fans in the UK voiced to refund season tickets. They also intend to walk out of the Emirates in the 75th minute.

Both are forms of protest to the Wenger regime that started rotting. When against Tony Pulis squad, the stadium with a capacity of 60 thousand seats was looked empty.

But he stood there, with a smile.

He watched the melancholy of Arsenal's home, where he is credited and contribute economically very thick. Thin and quite rare Wenger smile was caught on camera.

Both of his hands he often rubbed, indicating impatience to see Arsenal scoring and once again presenting that WengerBall not dead.

He insisted, invited the fans to do whatever they want with the season ticket. Wenger fought, he did not want defeated by fans sulk. For me this form of wrong public relations, but inevitably we are forced to understand when seeing a variety of grief he had already planted for the Gunners.

It can not be ignored, Wenger revolutionized Arsenal, even ignite a change in hue of English football. Wenger discard old face of Arsenal was a lot of running and very British for the size of the physical play. He polished North London club became more tactical, efficient, and modern in the era.

"The Professor" also built sharp-eyed scouting  system, and his network reaches the corners of the continent to find "valuable rough diamonds with low cost." And he was successful.

Kolo Toure and Alex Song are two players who came from football schools in Abidjan and Yonde. The most recent are Alex Iwobi and stunning Héctor Bellerín in the main squad of Arsenal.

From the talents found and polished by Wenger, Arsenal got financial benefits which the reader must have been memorized by rote. The financial policy is the initial foundation of Arsenal financial balance when starting the Emirates projects.

Without title and play with a jerk squad, which is great always to be in the top four. A feat at first, which is now clearly a setback. Arsenal is healthy in financial, which has a resource, should be fighting for the title, die-hard fans screaming every week.

Seeing all the "sacrifice," then Wenger against. He seemed not to care about the intention of fans to walk out and returning season tickets.

And that he showed when preparing the squad well. The father of one daughter decided to play Oliver Giroud and Aaron Ramsey rather than Danny Welbeck and Francis Coquelin. A decision was initially made me worry but proved to run well.

Alternating with Mohamed Elneny, Ramsey presents a creative person in the final third of the pitch. Something that couldn't be supplied by Coquelin or Elneny when both duet.

Ramsey made one assist for the first goal of Alexis and violations to himself in front of the penalty box made a goal. The Wales midfielder also played a steady and calm.

Rarely, he makes a nervous face when receiving the ball in its area. After not playing in some games, he appears to be more muted.

Giroud? He did not score a goal and make fans complained several times with a touch that was sometimes seen as Niklas Bendtner having a bad day, which was quite often. But Giroud also "instrumental" when set-up a free kick from Alexis became the second goal.

Let's replay the second goal and notice how the striker exchanges meaningful views with Per Mertesacker. Both became "wall of illusion" that disrupt the wall of WBA players.

Mertesacker ensured his position with Giroud was appropriate by looking one time at Scot Carson. When the ball was released by Alexis, both simultaneously dodge, provides a pathway for the ball toward the WBA goalpost. Additionally, Giroud also solid as a ball reflector, especially in the second half.

Do not also forget the decision to play Mertesacker replaced Gabriel Paulista that in the last two games look wild and did not play with the composure of a defender.

Mertesacker excels in taking a position as a duel with the opposing striker, something which is still a weakness of Gabriel. The Tall defender from Germany is also a ball-playing defender who better than Gabriel. Vertical Progression he did was always clean and facilitate Elneny or Ramsey to receive and distribute the ball.

The first goal was created beautifully by Alexis. After receiving the ball from Ramsey, he control and quickly turned, leaving Sandro chasing the wind.

The shot trail was open widely after turning and outwit his marker. He thrust the ball with the instep. His strike hard, along the ground, avoiding WBA player who attempted to block, and goals.

Then the camera moves quickly panned to the bench. The reserve players happy, the staff laughed happily, while Wenger only calm.

He stood up when the goals came and clapped lightly just as afraid of the high settings become tangled when trying to celebrate by sliding as unemployed from Portugal did at Old Trafford.

Wenger threw a thin smile when Alexis ran to the corner of the field to celebrate a goal with fans. Although thin, but a cold smile was actually meaningful in, and there was a bit of anxiety looming.

A thin smile and anxiety are a proof that Wenger actually thinks of somber shades at the Emirates. Although proud and impressed no matter the attitude naughty fans, but Wenger might be the most caring person. Anxious turmoil was legible from the thin smile.

Then the second goal occurred at the end of the first half. This time, there was a little celebration. But just a little, still with a slight smile and anxiety that have not been swept away completely. Behind the wrinkled face, Wenger tried to bury his ego with difficulty. He failed for me, anxiety still chasing him.

Wenger did have worried. Despite the assurances and economic support from the management, discontent and rebellion of the fans is not a good image.

If the turbulent continued, do not be surprised if there are a more aggressive movement of fans. The magnificent and elegance's Emirates will look toothless without fans rumble.

Behind the haughty and aristocratic impression, probably there is a storm in the recesses of the Wenger's heart. Violent storms that swinging feeling in all directions.

Although greeting stocked with confidence, the blush spoke louder. Behind the thin smile, Wenger saves his fear, a fear of different situations that He may never have been faced during parenting Arsenal.

Then it becomes a fantasy that we hope we'll soon see when Wenger is smiling loose, happy every week, and share naughty comments and fun typical of him.

But this time, behind a thin smile, tucked emotional rollercoaster that is so thick.

The Erosion of Victoria Concordia Crescit from Arsene Wenger's Color

Arsene Wenger (telegraph.co.uk)

Either this is only my feeling that too far, or the truth. Arsene Wenger's comments before against West Ham made me pensive. Wenger's comments were related to West Ham's plan, moving to Olympic Stadium next season.

This what Wenger said: "Well done. You have won in the lottery and you do not need to sweat like I did for long years and fight for every pound. So it's very well done. "

When compared with the Emirates which are estimated to annex funds up to 390 million pounds, West Ham was seen Wenger so lucky.

For the French manager, West Ham won a lottery tub after competing with Tottenham Hotspur for the rights to use the Olympic Stadium with a capacity of 60 thousand seats. London club previously based at the Boleyn Ground have had to spend up to 15 million pounds, the details of the lease 2.5 million pounds per year to contract at the Olympic Stadium.

Perhaps for the readers, the comments seem normative, mediocre. However, honestly, I am troubled by sorts of that "affirmation". Indeed, Wenger is one of the most instrumental people in the process of building a bloody Arsenal Emirates Stadium. However, Wenger does not need to claim as the most miserable person.

Is Wenger jealous with "success" of West Ham get the stadium at a bargain price? During the development process along with the repayment of Emirates debt, Wenger was forced to tighten their belts, to shortness half dead.

Limited transfer funds forced Wenger to play the brain in order to prepare a competitive squad every year. The pressure to qualify for European competition are getting harder after an exodus of key players every year.

For this problem, Wenger may be proud. Let's face it, not many managers out there who would faithfully fulfill his words that he would complete the mission of establishing a new basis to completion.

Clearly, a hard mission of modern football which is the main criterion "only" title. For humans at a higher level, a sweet legacy is sometimes more valuable than debauchery when being a champion.

Then why Wenger can survive in the middle of economic crisis and high expectations of the fans?

Wenger grew outside the city of Strasbourg. His father participated in World War II that made the word "discipline" imprinted in Wenger's daily life. As a child, Wenger had to help the family business at a bistro and a car repair shop. Therefore, the tradition of hard work was embedded in the minds of Wenger since young. In addition, Wenger families also emphasized on honesty.

When helping a family business, Wenger learned observing the behavior of football fans who spend long hours in order to watch a game replay and then did a discussion.

Wenger mapped out what the fans like and what they did not like. From there, Wenger learned that the process is always nobler than an outcome, let alone an instant, like an unemployed from Portugal.

From this experience, do not be surprised if Wenger with "bold" played Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie, they were a winger into a striker.

Wenger understood that both love scoring goals, did dribble that made fans holding their breath and fired a parabolic shot that hypnotizes the opponent's goalkeeper. Courage, which is based on depth research on a player makes a sweet result.

The cult of the process also he applied to Tony Adams. When Wenger first came to Arsenal, the Arsenal skipper was in the first stage of alcoholism. It could take up to 18 months for Adams to completely escape the habit of consuming liquor.

The struggle was won by Adams, with the backing from Wenger. Adams was able to get back to his best and England picking one of the best center backs throughout history. Yes, the point is a process, as well as efforts to build a home for the future.

Process, is a word derived from the understanding of hard work, discipline, and honesty in the Wenger's family. So on the one hand, we can understand the tone of "degrading" when Wenger said that West Ham should not need process because it "only" won a lottery.

Moreover, Wenger added that West Ham did not have to suffer like him. A statement, which for me, was quite disappointing, but unique.

Why disappointed? Back to my statement above, Wenger did not have to claim because it is not just him who suffers.

Just look at the fans in London willing to pay (the highest in the UK) to watch Arsenal at the Emirates. Remember also the fans around the world who buy the original product; the money goes to the treasury of Arsenal.

Who knows, a purchasing money from the original jersey of a fan in Asia could buy a sack of cement for the construction of Emirates. Or a purchasing money of genuine merchandise from a die hard fans from America could buy waterproofing paint to paint the ceiling of the beautiful Emirates.

Essentially, many parties involved and bloody participated when Emirates constructed. Is not the togetherness that forms Arsenal? Togetherness in harmony framed Victoria Concordia Crescit.

Is Wenger's sentence addressed to West Ham reflects harmony? The sentence does not reflect the process that adopted by Wenger since he was inexperienced, but depicting pride and ask for mercy.

Arrogant, who ironically seen at the situation on the field. Surpassed with two beautiful goals, Arsenal were careless and did not show how to survive ideal. Naive, they're very generous to allow West Ham players released crossing that addressed to Andy Carroll. Like the dragon get rain, Carroll undermine confidence in the Arsenal squad as a whole.

From just a greeting, a result was seen on the field. Harmony, which headed to victory was created from the sidelines.

If harmony has eroded from the image of a Wenger, then what can assure us that Arsenal grew from togetherness?

If West Ham gets a new stadium with the "easy", so do not need to be addressed with a sneer. Perhaps, their management is already working well to steal the rights to use Olympic from Tottenham Hotspur.

I am not speaking in the context Wenger Out or In Wenger We Trust. I'm talking about introspection. Make greeting from Wenger as an example for us. An example of that vanity and always claiming will end up hurt.

In the end, Victoria Concordia Crescit slogan must not only decorate the club logo only. The beautiful slogan must be felt and internalized; start from fans, the officer of stadium's ticket, parking attendants stadium, security officers, hawkers at the Emirates, the fans were singing loudly, the ball boy, kitman, the staff, the players, the manager, to the owner (if any).
