The Obama lovefest just keeps spreading…
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger uses the 2008 election to motivate the Gunners Youth Club for their upcoming Wigan match, saying you need be a quality player to achieve footie success. Says in the Sun:
“Right now we have the example of Barack Obama in the States, where everybody is really happy because he has made it to the very top. In this election nobody really knows what his ideas are but the system has brought him to the top just because he has the quality. Nothing else comes into consideration. And in sport that is also the case. I’ve always believed in that. So even if it was my own son, he could never play for Arsenal if he wasn’t good enough.”
Wenger is well known for not only is tactical skills but his motivational ones as well, so a comment like this isn’t surprising. Dunno if I agree with the comment “nobody really knows what his ideas are,” but I get and agree with the overall sentiment.
There really is only One Arsene Wenger.
