Wenger: 'Football is sometimes unexplainable'

Last updated : 28 October 2002 By Chris Parry

Responding to questions about the inquest that inevitably took place behind closed doors he merely said: "Like always, we keep secret what we do - on good and bad days".

When probed about the three match losing streak, he went on to say: "Of course everyone is very concerned but this team is highly committed and I'm very confident that we will come back even stronger after our bad patch."

"Football is sometimes unexplainable. The team gave everything and fought very hard, and with the chances that we created, we feel badly done by. When we were 2-1 down, we lacked the composure to take our chances. Confidence goes quickly and comes slowly back.

"But I believe we have a good togetherness, a good mental strength and we have known this kind of situation before. I'm very positive because the team are very concerned and committed. We will stick together more than ever and respond in the next game. If we keep on playing like this, we will win games."
