Arsene Wenger: 2:2 is a fair result

7.11.2012

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes that the 2:2 result against Schalke in the Champions League, just shows the growth of his team.

"Both composition were very strong. After what happened to us on Saturday, it was important to respond appropriately, and we did. We played against a very good opponent and it's little disappointing that we conceded a goal just before the break, "Wenger said after the meeting. "After that and in the last minute of the second half, Walcott could have made 3:2 for us. But overall, I think 2:2 is a fair result. In the Champions League with 2:0 you can never be sure that you will win, especially considering the quality of the German team. "

"The German teams have a physical superiority as well class in the technique. In addition, they never give up. So I did not think that in 2:0 in our favor, the match is over. On Saturday we lost, and at least we didn't made it now, "said Wenger.

Despite the excellent performances of Theo Walcott recently, the French coach refused to comment on whether they could guarantee his place in the starting line-up: "Theo Walcott is doing very well and is definitely one of our best players. But people forget that he returned after a long absence, after a severe injury. Yet to enter into the game, so that's all we know that he is a fantastic player. "

Wenger has no plans to build on the last game of the group stage against Olympiacos to qualify his team ahead. "This game does not matter now. The important thing is to win the next against Montpellier. Yes, it may come to a decisive last meeting, but it may not get there, "concluded the coach of Arsenal.
