Wenger lifts lid on what he will miss the most about the Arsenal job

Arsene Wenger has revealed a number of things he will miss about the Arsenal job as he prepares to take charge of his final home match on Sunday.

The Gunners host Burnley on Sunday and, with Arsenal’s final two matches away from home, it will be his final match at the Emirates Stadium.

Wenger will be determined to bow out on a victory with the Clarets able to move level on points with Arsenal in the Premier League.

In the matchday programme the Frenchman left a message to fans as he gets ready for an emotional farewell.

“What I will miss most about this job is the competition itself,” Wenger wrote.

“The collective feeling, the sharing of emotions with people you work with on a daily basis, the desire to feel something together and the target you always have in front of you.

“I will miss the intensity of it all, because that’s all I have known in my life.

“I’d say what has linked all my teams through the years is the desire to play as a connected team, at a high pace, and to make the players reach a complex form of collective football.

“That means involving at least three players every move, to express your talent, and make people feel that when football is expressed in a collective way and with a high understanding, it’s art.”
