Wenger on FA Cup, Bielik and Paulista

Friday, January 23 2015 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger looks ahead to Sunday's fourth round FA Cup game at Brighton and Hove Albion, discusses the arrival of Poland youth international Krystian Bielik from Legia Warsaw and says that Arsenal are "talking" to Valencia about the possible signing of their highly-rated centre-back Gabriel Paulista.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal coach:
    (on the FA Cup clash at Brighton)
    "In the Championship it is always difficult away from home and I know - we remember Brighton two years ago, I remember that it was a very difficult game against a team that was on the way up. They were fighting at the top level, Gus Poyet at the time was manager. They had just bought Ulloa when we went there and it was a very difficult game. We needed to dig deep to get out with a positive result."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal coach:
    (on carrying the momentum from last week's win at Manchester City into the FA Cup):
    "For us the challenge is to turn up with the same spirit and show that we can be consistent with our attitude game by game and in the cup. God knows that that is needed."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal coach:
    (on any possible involvement of 17 year-old Polish signing Krystian Bielik in the Brighton game)
    "No, no, not at all. He comes just from Poland, he has just turned 17, he is not fit because they had the winter break in Poland that is quite long so he is at the start of getting back to full fitness. He is not ready before three weeks."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal coach:
    (on the state of talks with Valencia about the possible signing of centre-back Gabriel Paulista)
    "Look, I don't think there is need to say much more - we are talking at the moment, can we find an agreement or not? I don't know. We are slowly progressing but there is a chance."
