🚨 Arsène Wenger doesn’t hold back with the Media "Why can't they run it back?" 🎙️ Reporter: "Arsène, can this Arsenal go unbeaten again?" 🗣️Arsène Wenger: "In September 2002, I said my team could go unbeaten. You laughed. You printed 'Comical Wenger says we can go unbeaten' on every back page. Sir Alex called it arrogance. You called me cocky, too French. "In May 2004, after we did it, I wore that same headline on a T-shirt. 'Comical Wenger says we can go unbeaten.' I told you I was just a season too early. "Now in May 2027, I will wear it again at our final home game at the Emirates. Because look at them. "Four wins from four to start 26/27. Only the second time in 22 seasons Arsenal have done it. Last time? We won the league as Invincibles. "Nine straight Premier League wins. Not since 2003-04 have Arsenal done that. And every time Arsenal win nine in a row 1998, 2002, 2004 we lift the trophy. "One goal conceded in four games. They are hunting Chelsea's record of 15 goals conceded in 04/05. "So I will repeat it. In May 2027, at the Emirates, I will wear that shirt again. Why can't they run it back?"

🚨 Arsène Wenger talks about the connection between Tzolis and Ødegaard: “Ødegaard has found his Bergkamp in Tzolis” — Arsenal will win the Champions League! 🗣️ Arsene Wenger: “I was in Italy yesterday night with Mesut Özil and before the game, Özil told me this Øde x Tzolis relationship is special and they would have a say in this game. I wasn’t really sure because obviously Tzolis didn’t start.” But the moment he came on from the bench and dropped that assist I smiled, I looked at Özil and told him this Tzolis is special. In 1996 they said ‘Anelka who?’ Same thing they said when they signed Tzolis, ‘Tzolis who?’ this is the same feeling. You see a boy come on and change the game with one touch, you know he is different. He has 4 assists and out of the 4, 3 has been for Ødegaard. This reminded me of Özil x Sanchez. When Alexis arrived he was good, but when Mesut started feeding him he became unplayable. Now Tzolis is doing the same for Martin — he is feeding him every game and Martin is thriving again. He didn’t need to look, Tzolis didn’t need to stop running. That is the secret of a great partnership. It was the same with Henry and Bergkamp Dennis didn’t need to look, Thierry was already running. One has the eyes, one has the legs. You cannot coach that, you can only feel it. And if Arsenal wants to retain the league and win that Champions League, Ødegaard will be very important because he is the best of this team. He took last season’s criticism personal. Now with Tzolis, he has found his Bergkamp, unplayable like Henry x Bergkamp and sensational like Özil x Sanchez all over again.”

🚨Arsene Wenger on Arsenal signing Enzri Konsa from Aston Villa: 🗣️ Arsene Wenger :“People keep talking about Van Dijk, Ramos, Dias... but the game has changed. The modern defender has to do everything. “You know who gave Haaland and Isak nightmares in the 2025/26 season? Enzri Konsa. He put fear into top attacks. Battled Watkins, went toe-toe with Nunez and showed why defenders with his physicality, pace and aggression are now the most valuable players on the pitch. “So if you ask me why we went all out for Konsa, I’ve already told you. He changes everything. He reads the game, wins duels, dominates in the air, and can step out and play. He gives you protection AND allows the fullbacks to fly. “Now imagine Konsa alongside Gabriel, Calafiori, Timber and Rice. You have pace, leadership, ball-playing and aggression all in one backline. If the manager gets that defense organized properly, then for me... clean sheets should be the minimum expectation. Winning the league and the Champions League should be the goal.”
