Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hailed the attitude of midfielder Mathieu Flamini after the Frenchman won his first cap last week.
"I tried to be fair with him [when he considered his future]. I could not stop him from leaving but told him if he stays, he knew the rules.
"We can only respect that mental strength and that character and to show on the pitch how good you are. It gives you confidence when you are 23 years old like Mathieu."
