Arsenal boss Wenger says winning desire as strong as ever

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says his winning desire is as strong as ever.

Despite being old enough to qualify for a bus pass, Wenger still has a point to prove in Europe, famously never having won the Champions League despite contesting it 16 times with Arsenal and twice with Monaco.

"Do I feel young?" said Wenger. "No, my age is my age. You have to live with that. Until now I am lucky to be in shape. But the desire and motivation is stronger than ever.

"I am so keen to do well with my team this season. I want the club and the team to do as well as they can, it's my dream. I want to give absolutely everything for my team to do it.

"I am not a celebrator of birthdays. What is important is my team performs well and I will dedicate all my energy to get things right.

"There is a difference between the quality of our performances and points we have won. So we want to add to the quality of our performance, and get the points that we feel are there in the team. That little percentage, where we can improve, is vital."
