Villarreal midfielder Robert Pires has hailed his former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger as "unique".
"He signs you, he gives all his confidence to you and lets you play.
"Arsene's style is unique: simple, fast soccer, looking for the goal in a constant way. Nobody is like Wenger. He is unique!"
Pires also revealed he almost signed for Real Madrid before joining Arsenal.
"I spoke with the people of Real Madrid. But as soon as Wenger appeared, I had no doubts."
