Wenger: “We need to win the Champions League two or three times”.

35 comments September 25th, 2006

Ambitious words from Arsene. But he’s right: if we want to be taken seriously amongst Europe’s elite, we need the trophies to match. We have the players, the stadium – now we need the gold:

“We had to gain respect and we are looked upon as a big scalp. The next step is to win not once but two or three times to go into the history of European football. I want to win the Champions League but it’s step by step.”

A good first step towards success would be victory against Porto tomorrow night. Arsene says:

“I am convinced that if we beat Porto we are close to qualifying. But when you look at the Portuguese teams they do not lose easily in England. It’s a big, big task. I hope we are able to keep the ball and adapt to their pace and take advantage of any situation created.”

We have no discernible new injury problems, which means Julio Baptista is likely to remain on the bench. It’s a good job he doesn’t mind too much:

“I don’t know that much about Reyes’ complaints that he was not in the team. But the only solution is to work hard and win over the coach. Nothing in my contract says I have to be in the team. When I am on the bench I’m ready and prepared to give everything on the pitch as soon as I get the order.”

Again, it’s the briefest of updates, but hopefully I’ll be able to get back to normal service once I get the internet installed at my flat sometime next week.

Tomorrow, I’m taking my girlfriend to the game. Always a risk. Here’s hoping it’s a good evening all round.
