In 2018, Arsene Wenger, who left London's “Arsenal” team, continued to stay close to football.
In recent years, the 73-year-old Frenchman has become an important part of FIFA (International Football Federation). The former coach was one of the advocates for organizing the World Cup every two years and was also a big admirer of this World Cup in Qatar in the middle of the club season.
In the middle of the tournament, A. Wenger also claimed that teams that did not get involved in political matters performed significantly better in the tournament.
Norway's national team coach Stale Solbakken strongly criticized these remarks of the football legend.
Since 2020, the strategist leading the Norway national team stated that Wenger has lost his mind.
“It makes my skin crawl when I see that the smartest man in the world, Arsene Wenger, who was everyone's example for years, somehow lost his mind and is now spreading the most foolish statements. “I'm afraid that this polarization that is happening now will become wider and wider,” said the Norwegian.
