Wenger -
Vieira deserves a rousing receptionArsène Wenger must have been one of the few people who did NOT think about Patrick Vieira straight away when Arsenal were drawn with Juventus in Friday’s Champions League draw.
Manager and captain parted ways in the summer after nine hugely successful seasons at Highbury. Wenger insists there is no bad feeling between the pair and argues Vieira will not be driven by the desire to ‘put one over’ the team who sold him when the Turin side visit Arsenal on March 28.
“I have never looked at the game like that,” said Wenger. “I just believe it is an opportunity to show how good we are and to qualify. To show that we have been right by doing this or that, is not important. What is important is that we play well and that we qualify.
“Once you make a decision, you go for it. I do not want to come out on that decision now because we have other worries than why we have sold Patrick Vieira or not.
“I knew the first year could be difficult without him, but once you make that decision, you accept that.”
Wenger insists his relationship with Vieira is still strong.
“Yes, of course,” he said. “I feel I have done well for Patrick in his life, so I am rather proud of what we have achieved together. I don't think there was any bad feeling whatsoever.
“I see him nearly every time with the French national team, and he was here [at Highbury] for a game over Christmas. He came down to the dressing room.
“At his age he got a five-year contract at a massive club as well and you have to accept that.
“He has done so well for nine years for us, who has given us nine top, top years? A few players before, but of the foreign players I can only remember Patrick [and Bergkamp]. He has given nine years to the Club, that is why I want him to have a great reception. I am sure our fans are strong enough and big enough to do that.”
