My Life in Red and White: The Sunday Times Number One Bestselling Autobiography

Product Information

You will learn about the beginnings of a promising football player, about the gradual move into coaching. But Wenger’s side never won the Champions League, despite being 14 minutes away from victory in 2006. When his memoir, My Life in Red and White, was announced, fans wanted the old wizard to finally settle a few scores. Given the large number of games AW managed, it is unsurprising that his results trended towards the mean. Fortunately, by that time it would clearly have been pointless even to have made the attempt, so I was spared the embarrassment of a refusal.

One of the most influential figures in world football, Wenger won multiple Premier League titles, a record number of FA Cups, and masterminded Arsenal's historic 'Invincibles' season of 2003-2004 and 49-match unbeaten run. Think Jeffers, Podolski, Pérez, Baptista, etc… Youtube compilations have aggravated that tendency to see potential signings as superstars. Every single Certificate of Authenticity is also verified by our chief executive officer - to guarantee that the item is genuine and hand signed.He offers studious reflections on the game and his groundbreaking approach to motivation, mindset, fitness and football that was often beautiful to watch. In fact, now more than ever, I’d love to sit down and have a chat with Le Prof, without the formality and expectations of narrative. That hopeless team stayed more or less unchanged, and didn’t lose another Premier League game until they had already won the title in May.

At least he is with her now but he and his wife parted largely because of his obsessive ( he says monastic several times) approach to work . A proper insight into his life, his thought process and his view of football would make a great book.In this he comes over as measured and considered and never strays too far from his love of the game and, in particular, his love of Arsenal Football Club where he spent 22 years in charge. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.

Wenger describes how he always lost in “unbelievable circumstances” in the Champions League and says that the 2006 final hurts the most and he has never been able to watch it again.

Arsene Wenger and his principled, now confirmed obsessive, pursuit of football as collective art and his belief that it was his duty to support, encourage, facilitate all that was beautiful in the game and its players.Sadly, the chapters on his time at Monaco, in Japan and mostly Arsenal stay at a very surface level. I’m making an exception this time because of just how disappointed I was by the recent autobiography of former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger. This site is my blog of reviews of classic and contemporary sports books that I have read and am reading.
