Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he doesn't
like shouting at his players because of the damage it can do, but admits there
have been occasions where he has gone overboard.
The Frenchman, who has been in charge of the Gunners since
1996, has opened up about his style of management and how it is sometimes
difficult not to criticise someone if they have had a bad game.
“I don’t like to shout at players after a game because you
can do too much damage after the match. It is true that sometimes it is very
tempting though,” Wenger told Arsenal's official magazine.
“But sometimes I’ve gone overboard after games, so most of
the time I really try to control myself because I go red in the face and think
to myself: ‘The damage is big, don’t do more.’
Sometimes you can say to an individual player: ‘It’s your
fault that we conceded a goal on a cross.’ But then later you look at the time
and it turns out it was not his fault at all.
“Then as a manager after that you have to say to the player:
‘Sorry I was wrong’. It’s better when you say something that you are sure about
it.”
Arsenal are third in the Premier League and are on course to
qualify for next season's Champions League. They are also in the semi-finals of
the FA Cup, a trophy Wenger is looking to retain after winning it last year.
