Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakawhiwhia te kaiwhakahaere o Arsenal a Arsene Wenger ki tetahi kohinga whakaahua mai i tana wa ki Monaco e te perehitini tuarua a Vadim Vasilyev i tana hokinga mai i te Mane. Kei te anga atu a Wenger ki te karapu i whakahaeretia e ia i te tau 1987 i te po o te Turei i te wa e ngana ana a Arsenal ki te whakakore i to ratou 3-1 i te tukinga tuatahi o to ratou Champions League whakamutunga 16 tie. I wehe atu te Frenchman i Monaco i te tau 1994, e ono tau i muri i tana wikitoria i te taitara Ligue 1 i tana wa tuatahi, engari ka waiho e Wenger te whakaaro i a ia e ngana ana ki te patu i te karapu e maumahara tonu ana ia.

'Ko taku tino harikoa ki te hoki mai ki konei ki te kite i nga hoa i te mea kahore he tukinga. Kei konei ahau mō te mahi, ā, ko te mahi kia wikitōria te karapu.

E whitu nga tau o Wenger i Monaco i kite ia i a ia e kawe ana i te taitara i te tau 1988 me te Coupe de France i te tau 1991, engari me tuhi ano ia i nga hitori i te po o te Turei mena ka eke a Arsenal. Kāore he kapa i te wā o te Champions League i hoki mai i te rua o ngā whāinga o te kāinga i te wā tuatahi, ā, ka puta. Ko te kapa whakamutunga ki te mahi pera ko Ajax i 1969 i te wa i haere mai ai ratou i muri i a Benfica ka haere mai i muri i te tukinga.
