🗣️ Arsene Wenger: "It's very simple, you build a player like you build a house."
"First comes the basement, the base of a player is technique. You get that between the ages of 7 and 14 years of age."
"If you have no technical skill at 14, forget it. You will never be a football player. The second part is the physical aspect, the first floor. Unfortunately, that is decided between 14-17 years of age where you feel you'll be strong enough, quick enough."
"The second floor is tactical understanding. Does he have an understanding of the game? What to do with the ball?"
"The final part that is decided at 18-19 years of age is how successful the player wants to be."
