Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes team spirit is paramount for a successful side.

Wenger has been at the helm of the Gunners for close to 20 years and has guided them to three league titles, six FA Cups as well as the final of the Champions League in 2006 – which they lost to Barcelona in Paris.




He has guided his charges to successive FA Cup triumphs over the last two seasons and his men enjoyed a 3-0 romp over Manchester United in their last Premier League encounter at the Emirates Stadium prior to the ongoing international break.

When asked how important a part team spirit plays in the success of a side, the Frenchman insisted that it is a very crucial ingredient.
 


“You can ask the question the other way around: can you be successful without team spirit? If I asked you that question, straight away you would say no”, he told Arsenal Player.

“That just shows you how important it is.

“It’s difficult to put a percentage on it, but you know without it you have no chance. Afterwards, what is interesting is to know how big the team spirit is.

“You can have different degrees of team spirit, because without it you have no football at all – everybody would just do what he wants.”

Arsenal are currently sitting second in the league standings behind Manchester City and will look to gain all three points from their upcoming clash against Watford as they attempt to secure their first title in over a decade.
