At a young age winning is not the most important thing… the important thing is to develop creative and skilled players with good confidence.
Young players need freedom of expression to develop as creative players… they should be encouraged to try skills without fear of failure.

Early life

Arsène Charles Ernest Wenger[1] was born on 22 October 1949 in Strasbourg, Alsace, the youngest of three children born to Alphonse and Louise Wenger. He lived in Duppigheim during the 1950s, but spent most of his time in the neighbouring village of Duttlenheim, ten miles south-west of Strasbourg.[5][6] Alphonse, like many Alsatians, was conscripted into the German Army by force following Germany’s earlier annexation of the French region of Alsace-Lorraine.[7] He was sent to fight on the Eastern Front in October 1944, at the age of 24.[7]
