Standup9ja - Vieira: The Players Disappointed Wenger
Patrick Vieira does not believe Arsene Wenger will give up
at Arsenal and says the players have let down their manager.
Wenger is yet to decide of he’ll be leaving Arsenal when his
contract expires at the end of the season, but will consider what the fans
want.
The Gunners crashed out of the last-16 of the UCL for the
seventh consecutive season, after losing 10– on aggregate to Bayern and Vieira
believes the players are to blame.
“He is going through a really difficult period but at the
same time I know Arsene and he is not the kind of person who will throw the
towel in and walk out of this situation,” Vieira, who is now manager of MLS
side New York City, told Omnisport.
“He will fight for it because he is proud and he will give
everything like he has been doing for the football club.
“It is true that people are doubting his capability to
manage the team… but I think you have to look at the players and in some
situations the players have been letting Arsene down a lot because coaches have
responsibility but players have responsibility as well.
“You can work the whole week in how you want to play but
when [the] players [are] on the field they are the ones who have to fight and
if you don’t do it then it is a problem.
“So we can talk about Arsene, we can talk about other things
but I think it is important for players to take responsibility and look at
themselves in the mirror.”
“I think Arsene knows better than anyone what he has
achieved and he knows what he wants to do and he will make a decision,” he
said.
“I don’t want to get involved to say if he should stay or
go, he has enough experience to make the correct decision and the best decision
for the football club, he has always done this and will continue to do so.
“I know he has got a passion and love for the club and the
team, he loves being on the field, he is obsessed by football. He is passionate
about the game so he will know what is best for him and the football club.”
