What motivated Arsene Wenger as manager: the fear of losing, the joy of winning, or the beautiful game itself?
"All of that," he replied to The Guardian. "But I must say, I have intrinsic motivation that means there’s something within me that pushed me to try to improve.
"And the fact that I believe I am at the service of something bigger than me. After that, of course, we’re all a mixture of hating to lose and willing to win.
"But I would say that the hate of defeat is dominant. That creates big scars in your heart. One day, if somebody opens my heart, I think every defeat is in there."
Arsenal played 1,228 games under the Frenchman, winning 704, drawing 279 and losing 245.
In 22 years of his reign, the Gunners scored 2.285 goals and conceded 1.219.
With Wenger at the helm, the club claimed 3 Premier League titles and 7 FA Cups.
