A confidential memo left at a hotel in Manchester has given a fascinating insight into Arsene Wenger's team philosophy at Arsenal. Have a read and tell us what you think:
Confidential Team meeting 19th September 2008
The Team:
• A team is as strong as the relationships within it.
• The driving force of a team is its member's ability to create and maintain excellent relationships within the team that can add an extra dimension and robustness to the team dynamic.
• This attitude can be used by our team to focus on the gratitude and the vitally important benefits that the team brings to our own lives. It can be used to strengthen and deepen the relationships within it and maximize the opportunities that await a strong and united team.
Our team becomes stronger by:
• Sticking together
• Being demanding with yourself
• Focusing on our communication
• Believing in the strength of the team
• Being fresh and well prepared to win
• Showing the desire to win in all that you do
• Always wanting more - always giving more
• Displaying a positive attitude on and off the pitch
• Every one making the right decisions for the team
• Staying grounded and humble as a player and as a person
• Having an unshakeable belief that we can achieve our target
• Focusing on being mentally stronger and always keep going to the end
• When we play away from home, believe in our identity and play the football we love to play at home
• Enjoying and contributing to all that is special about being on a team - Don't take it for granted.
