PHOTO: Robert Pires feels Arsenal players are lazy, and insists Wenger deserves more from them
Robert Pires has
spoken out on the ‘manager and player-fans’ crisis at the London club, saying
the manager deserves more from the players, and they too have to share in run
of poor results in the last weeks...
The Arsenal legend,
believes Arsene Wenger would sign an extension, as he believe the French man,
is one with discipline, ho has given the club
stability over the years, and
would do everything to bring Arsenal back to top form...He said:
"The most important thing is for Arsene Wenger to extend his
contract,"
"I think Arsenal
need stability and Arsene Wenger is very important for Arsenal for now and for
next season.
"I believe in
Arsene Wenger because for me it was a privilege to work with him for six
seasons. The team we had was not perfect but it was good and we won some
titles.
"I am a
privileged man because I am still training with the team and I hope I can give
some advice to the players. I talk to Arsene Wenger every morning and I hope he
can bring some stability to the club."
"It's been very
difficult for maybe two months," "Unfortunately, we lost against
Bayern Munich in the Champion League, we lost some games in the Premier League
including the last one against West Brom.
"There are some
troubles with the team but the players need to carry on. It's very strange,
sometimes you play good, sometimes it's not good because some players maybe
need more spirit, but the quality is there.
"A lot of fans
talk about Arsene Wenger but I think he is the manager for Arsenal.
"The players and
Arsene Wenger need to fight and right now there are two objectives for Arsenal.
The first is to finish in the top four so they can play in the Champions League
again next season and of course it is very important to win the FA Cup."
When asked if Arsenal
are missing leadership, he said:
"Yes I think so. I repeat the quality is
there in the squad but especially when you play in the Premier League you need
fight, spirit and commitment.
"When you see
the names [of the players] on paper and on the pitch - they are great players
like Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez but for me the most important thing is Arsenal
are missing Santi Cazorla.
"Santi Cazorla
is one of the best players at Arsenal. He has been injured now for more than
four months and this has been a big problem for Arsenal."
