Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: Pressure greater 3 years ago

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists he isn't feeling any pressure going into the FA Cup semifinal against Manchester City.

Supporters have even come to blows in the stands over the issue of his 21-year reign continuing.

But Wenger says: “It was difficult for us in 2014, there was a special pressure. This time, there is a special opportunity for us.

“We had not won a trophy for a long time. People wanted us to win or questioned us about winning a trophy. So, overall, the pressure was big.

“I've always thought the Cup is something special. I have won the cup in every country I have worked.

“The FA Cup is one of the major trophies and that is why I have prepared properly for it every time."
