I will definitely be at Arsenal next season – Wenger

Swansea City v Arsenal - Premier League
Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, has confirmed he is not leaving the club this summer and will stay for at least another season.
The Frenchman’s position has come under question from some fans, who displayed banners at the Emirates Stadium, calling on him to quit the club.
But Wenger is adamant, insisting that he is going nowhere.
“During the season, [that criticism] was not very welcome when you fight for the championship, especially after the Tottenham game, when we were a bit unlucky,” he told beIN Sports.
“I give my best to the club I love and if I can share that love with the supporters it’s even better. I want to make sure that I give my best and that I put my knowledge at the disposal of the team.
“I am committed and have no doubt I will be there next season”, he added.

Mikel Obi Hints Mourinho Warning To Manchester United

José-Mourinho-3
As Manchester United reportedly draws closer to signing former Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, Super Eagles midfielder, John Mikel Obi has sent out warning about the Portuguese coach to his potential employers.
Mikel, who only made five appearances for the Blues before Mourinho was sacked and replaced by Guus Hiddink in December, dropped hints for Manchester United as he revealed that Mourinho is a very hard man to please.
The Jos-born playmaker who he has only just become a regular under interim boss Hiddink and has missed just three games since the Dutchman took over at Stamford Bridge, believes he is now benefitting from having a manager who trusts him again.
“I think confidence is everything, if a manager doesn’t believe in you, trust me there’s no way you can succeed.
“Even if you do things right he would always make sure he finds fault.
“People change in any walk of life, maybe he decided he wanted to do better in a different way and he didn’t need me anymore.
“He didn’t have the belief that he had in me before, which is fine because every manager has the player that they have trust in.
“It is a tough business, football, so when a manager comes in he wants to have people he believes in. If he doesn’t believe in you he doesn’t play you. And I think it’s all about a manager giving a player confidence,” Mikel told Goal on Monday.

Gomez: We (Germany) Were Stupid To Lose Against England

tmp_12430-gomez197317786
Mario Gomez has said Germany were stupid to throw away their two goal lead in the 3-2 loss to England.
Gomez scored his first international goal since the Euro 2012 and had another wrongly ruled offside.
England fought back, with Kane, Vardy and Dier completing the comeback.
Germany now face Italy in Munich and Gomez is wary of his side repeating the same errors against a country who have not lost in their last seven matches against Die Mannschaft.
“I think that we set ourselves up in the right way but in spite of that, it is perhaps natural to take your foot off the gas when you are 2-0 up in a friendly,” the Besiktas striker, on loan from Fiorentina, told the DFB’s official website.
“It’s just how it is. We gave England a lot of room and they are blessed with a lot of individual quality. We were stupid to have lost this game.
“We lost our way and left too much space, which England used well. They scored two goals from set plays. We knew they would be dangerous from those situations and they showed that.”
He added:-
“We weren’t good in the last 30 minutes and we need to look at that. We have to remain focused over the full 90 minutes, even if we are 2-0 up.
“We can’t let it happen again as teams like England can take full advantage. In a major tournament, that results in you going home. That much is clear to us.
“Italy will obviously be a tough game as they have a good team and traditionally play very well against Germany. I think it’s important to play well and get a good result to begin our preparations for the summer in a positive way.”

11 Years At Chelsea Is A Long Time, If I Leave, It’s Fine – Super Eagles Captain Mikel Obi

mkel
Super Eagles captain and Chelsea FC of England midfielder John Mikel Obi has refused to confirm if he’ll still be a Chelsea player by next season after being linked to big money moves to China, Turkey and other EPL clubs.
Mikel who captained Nigeria to a 1-1 draw at home against Egypt on Friday, has been at Chelsea for 10 years after controversially refusing to sign for Manchester United in 2006 despite having a verbal agreement with the club then.
“Let’s wait and see. If I get to move in the summer, fine, if I stay, it’s good,” he said while on international duty this week with his country. “Eleven years (at Chelsea) is a long time during which I have won everything at the club.
“We are now trying to see we get back to our normal selves and next season, the club will make changes in the summer, so we have to wait and see what happens.”
