A real treat is coming up for the Arsenal fans: A new documentary: ‘Arsene Wenger: Invincible’ will take a new look at the one of the most successful Gunners coaches ever and is packed with comments from the main man himself, as well as his former players. In this movie, Wenger explains his exit (‘It was like a funeral’), his childhood, clashes with managers and former players are in there too (‘Arsene changed my life’). The documentary will hit the movie theatres in November, and will be a travel back to the happier times for Gunners fans, who were forcing Wenger out in 2018, but have not found their happiness since. 49 – Under Arsene Wenger, Arsenal went a record 49 consecutive top-flight league games unbeaten from May 2003 to October 2004, breaking Nottingham Forest’s previous record of 42 set between November 1977 & November 1978 under Brian Clough.

He also won three Premier League titles and had one Champions League final (2006). But the last league title, won in 2003 soon faded away, and in 2018, the fans didn’t have any patience. Wenger said “it was not really” his decision to step down after 22 years in charge, but in the end, it happened in May 2018.“You realize at the end of something, it’s like a funeral” said Wenger in a new documentary. Also in the trailer, former Gunners star Dennis Bergkamp gave an insight into Wenger’s struggles following the decision, with the Dutch ace, saying: “It would have been easier if he had made the decision”, while Wenger himself described his last season and his treatment towards the end as ‘harsh’, ‘hard’ and ‘brutal’.86 – Arsene Wenger has won the most Champions League matches (86 – excluding qualifiers) without having ever won the competition.

The desire of fighting, not to lose, makes you sometimes inhuman” admitted the Frenchman. (1.70) ARSENAL (3.80) CRYSTAL PALACE (5.70)And from that desire probably came his ‘wars’ with different managers, most notably sir Alex Ferguson (featured in the movie) and Jose Mourinho, but it’s worth admitting that those managers are not so ideal themselves. Former players talked about Wegner, with Thierry Henry simply admitted: “Arsene changed my life”, while Patrick Vieira reflected on player’s treatment: “I loved it, I loved it. When the manager is defending you, you will die for him”. Not managing any club since he left Arsenal, Wenger is now fighting another battle – to change football for the better by rescheduling the game’s calendar, and is (again) faced with a lot of criticsm, as his idea of holding World Cup in every two years has a lot of opponents, even from his former club.
