Команда Арсенал прибыла в начальный пункт назначения ее азиатского турне - столицу Малайзии  Куала-Лумпур, где была проведена небольшая прессконференция, на которой тренер канониров Арсен Венгер был более конкретен в своих заявлениях, чем обычно.
Вот что сказал менеджер нашей команды:

- "Франсеск Фабрегас остается в команде."
- "Самир Насри останется в Арсенале вне зависимости от того, будет ли он подписывать продление действующего контракта."
- "С Жервиньо Арсеналом заключен контракт"
- " На месте левого защитника планируется использовать Гиббса, Траоре или Вермалена".

Как уже было сказано, прессконференция не отличалась продолжительностью. Но после нее местные журналисты получили в свое полное распоряжение игроков команды.

Arsene: вы ещё отбеливайте? тогда мы идём к вам!!

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that he will not change Arsenal’s attacking play by making them a more defensive unti but will instead focus on making the North London club more clinical in their finishing rather than concentrating on defensive issues.

The Gunners boss admitted today that the club would not be re-investing in a new left-back after Gael Clichy’s departure to Manchester City, with many fans suggesting someone is needed in that position to cover the vacancy left, however Wenger, who has only signed one main player this summer in Gervinho so far, believes he can turn Arsenal into world beaters.

Wenger, who was speaking at a press conference in Malaysia, said:

“We have developed the team, who I think are capable to compete at the top level in the world now, this team is getting mature, strong and we do not need to change our philosophy. We have to even be better in what we want to do.”

Wenger continued.

“We are an offensive football team and want to be better in our offensive game than we have been, to continue to develop it and be stronger in what we want to do. My plan is of course to continue to develop Arsenal and make Arsenal one of the main forces in the world,” added the Arsenal boss. “We are slowly getting into a position of doing it.”

Wenger then went on to claim that the side were very close to being great, adding:

“The club has developed very well in the last 10 years with the structures and qualities of the team. We are very close. The season did not finish in a good way for us, but that should strengthen the resolve of the players and the staff to come back and say we know we can do it and that this season we will.”
