‘My Christmas present is football'

Arsène Wenger’s Christmas holidays have been disrupted by football for the past 20 years, but you won’t hear him complaining about it.
The manager and his family have had to adapt to the English football calendar since he arrived at Arsenal in 1996 but Wenger wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.


“It’s where I want to be,” he told Arsenal Player. “The Christmas period is a present period and for me my present is to be in football.

“That’s what I wanted in my life, so I personally am on a permanent Christmas! Apart from the results when they don’t go well, the rest is happiness to be where I wanted to spend my life.

“Unfortunately the families have always suffered from my passion but we try to compensate outside of the games, but I believe as well we are in such a privileged position because you can give some happiness to people who love the game.
“I feel always that families who are together at Christmas - that’s not happening a lot during the year when the families aren’t together - and for them to enjoy a game of their favourite club over the Christmas period is the least we can do.”

Jules Rimet handed it to Obdulio Varela – albeit in bizarre circumstances – at the Maracana in 1950, and though  La Celeste reached the semi-finals on three occasions thereafter, they have never gone further, losing to Hungary in 1954, Brazil in 1970, and the Netherlands in 2010. Eight teams have shorter odds of winning Russia 2018 than Uruguay, but that does not stop the Atletico Madrid centre-back from dreaming big. “There isn’t a day goes by that I stop thinking about the World Cup,” Godin told  Radio Rincón . “I dream of lifting the Trophy – of course, I do. “We qualified for the World Cup well. The important thing is that no-one gets injured, that everyone is right physically.”Godin believes the secret to Uruguay’s prosperity under Oscar Tabarez – t...
