Wenger not feeling Pressure ahead of FA Cup final
Arsene Wenger is not feeling any pressure about
ending Arsenal’s nine-year trophy drought in
Saturday’s FA Cup final against Hull.
The Gunners have not added any silverware since
lifting the famous cup in 2005 and hopes of an
unexpected title triumph faded away in the closing
months of the campaign.
Having led the Premier League table on a number of
occasions, Arsenal wilted under the pressure as
Manchester City’s late surge saw them crowned
champions on Sunday.
Wenger’s men will have one final opportunity to
claim a cup at Wembley this weekend, but he does
not think there is a burden of expectation on him to
deliver.
“Look it is an opportunity for us to crown well our
season and the overall achievement – if you look
back at the season – will look better when we win
it,” said the Frenchman. “But it’s all to do, so we
just want to focus on Saturday’s game and not look
too much how it will look or how it will not look.”
Arsenal can look forward to Champions League
football again after a fourth placed finish and
Wenger pointed to their regular qualification when
questioned about the team’s achievements.
“It’s not down to me to judge what is fair, I’m not a
judge, I’m a manager who relies on what he’s doing,
what he’s achieving on the pitch and lets other
people judge and criticise.
“We can accept that and live with that completely.
What is down to the quality of our club is the
consistency and I believe on that front we are better
than most of the teams.”
