Wenger: We want to win the title for Ramsey
Dear Arsenal Supporter,
We were in the title race before the Stoke game and mathematically we got closer to Chelsea on Saturday because they dropped points. It strengthens our belief and our determination and we will fight until the last game of the season to win the League.
But of course our 3-1 win was overshadowed by the serious injury to Aaron Ramsey. I didn't see many bad tackles in the game but that one was and it makes me very sad. To lose a player of that quality at 19 years of age when he is just starting his career is just horrendous. It is difficult to accept.
I cannot do anything about it of course. The players are professional and they have to respect the rules and each other.
I would prefer to give my support to Ramsey rather than to play the judge. He is a young, fantastic talent and for a boy of 19 with his talent to be kicked out of the game like that is beyond words. I could not even enjoy the win on Saturday night because it is so sad to see that.
As you could see our players were shocked by the incident. You could see that they moved away from him. For five minutes our game was affected because we did not play. After that we got back into the game and showed great character to win it.
The title race will be tight until the end but this group is so strong mentally and have a unity so Aaron’s injury will give us one more reason to fight until the end and do it for him.
We had other problems two years ago when Eduardo was injured. But on Saturday we had a midfield of Nasri, Fabregas, Ramsey, Song, Eboue – with an average of 20 or 21. Up front, Bendtner is 21. At their age, to handle the game like they did is absolutely remarkable.
Thanks for your support.
Arsène Wenger
