When Arsene Wenger's Arsenal team faced Sir Alex Ferguson's all-conquering Manchester United, it was the defining clash of the late 1990s and early 2000s, and there was always bound to be fireworks.
“Alex Ferguson was the dominant figure in English football. Everyone was scared of him, from the press to the referees,” he said on the Arsene Wenger: Invincible documentary, cited by the Mirror.
“I thought that’s a good opportunity for me to show that it’s not only in England that you know how to play football. I was ready for the fight.
“It was sometimes very aggressive, especially after the games. When you’re fighting to win, you are two lions. Your only one desire is to eat the lion who is against you. I was not scared of anybody in football.”
In his press conference ahead of AS Roma’s clash with Pisa, Gian Piero Gasperini also addressed questions about Jadon Sancho, with the Manchester United winger having been strongly linked with the club in recent weeks through sporting director Ricky Massara.
