Wenger convinced Arsenal morale sky high: Players turned it around

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is convinced morale is sky high going into their clash at Tottenham.

Wenger conceded that his men were left reeling by the heavy defeats to Chelsea and Bayern Munich in February.

Gunners boss Wenger said: “The first Bayern game and the one against Chelsea, were a big knock. For a while we were a bit like a boxer who had been put on the floor twice.

“We lost a little bit, and people interpreted that as the players not caring. No. Maybe it is because they care very much that they were like that. Shocked. We were shocked.

“The turning point is that you have to revolt and say, 'Come on. That cannot go on'. The players care. The players have a good mentality. I love the attitude of this team."
