Calendar of FC Barcelona

Arséne Wenger was during quite a lot of years one of the best and more prestigious trainers of all Europe. The French did of the Arsenal one of the big teams of the continent and won the right to do what wanted to with the 'gunners'. His plan of action during quite a lot of time was to go to by young players and with projection of distinct quarries of the European football. One of his favourites was the one of the FC Barcelona, of which carried to several footballers.

In addition to Cesc Fàbregas, the most known case of all, the English also carried of the Masia to Héctor Bellerín, that is still in the club; to Fran Mérida, in Osasuna from does some years; to Jon Toral, now in the Hull City; and to Julio Pleguezuelo, in the Twente. Of all they, only Cesc and Bellerín attained to triumph in the team londinense, but if it had been by Wenger, another Barcelona also had done career in London.

As he same recognises in this interview to 'Talksport', when it negotiated by Fàbregas, the French also tried to carry to Leo Messi. The Argentinian already was by that then one of the best projects that there had been in the quarry of the Barça in his history and from the club vetoed his exit. "I hammered and Fàbregas came to England, the first to the United and the second to the Arsenal, but Messi remained in Spain. We were interested in him, were negotiating by him when we brought to Cesc, but in this period already was intocable", commented.

To having been able to close his incorporation, the history of the Arsenal would have changed completely and probably now went one of the best of the world. It was as it was, the history was the one who went and Wenger wants to recognise the credit of the Barça praising his bet by the quarry. "You can darse you of the fantastic teams of formative football that have when you are a club like the FC Barcelona. In the same team of boys played Leo Messi, Gerard Hammered and Cesc Fàbregas", remembered.

The Frenchman also spoke on Cristiano Ronaldo, that has been the another king of the football in the period of the Argentinian. The ex 'gunner' praised to both, but affirmed that it already remains little time so that the two leave to be the mandamases of the world-wide football. "Never we have seen players like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, that can create absolutely everything in any difficult situation, but think that his reign is coming to an end", declared.

Mbappé And Neymar, the successors of Messi and Cristiano

Kylian Mbappé Say that it will be the relief of the luso and of the rosarino in the highest and Wenger agrees with this thought. Besides, the Frenchman does not forget of Neymar Jr, that with 28 years still has the best of his career by in front. "Now it treats of the next generation and the next generation could be French. In this moment, the leader could be Mbappé. And also Neymar, clear", recognised.
