The
quintessential football hipster has already heaped praise upon Arsenal
this season, and ahead of Dortmund's clash against the Gunners this week
he is at it once again, evangelising Arsenal and the English game.
"For me, he is Sir Arsene Wenger, he is really something, I love him," he said during an interview with the Guardian.
"When
I watch Arsenal in the last 10 years, it is nearly perfect football,
but we all know they didn't win a title. In Britain they say that they
like Arsenal but they have to win something.
"This
is the philosophy of Arsene Wenger. I love this but I cannot coach this
because I am a different guy. You think many things are similar? I hope
so in some moments, but there are big differences, too."
The
Borussia Dortmund boss also criticised Barcelona, and said that he was a
young child growing up watching the current Barcelona side, he wouldn't
want to be a footballer, he'd want to be a TENNIS player.

"If
Barcelona's team of the last four years were the first one that I saw
play when I was four years of age, with their serenity, winning 5-0,
6-0, I would have played tennis. Sorry, that is not enough for me.
"It
is not serenity football, it is fighting football – that is what I
like. What we call in German – English [football] - rainy day, heavy
pitch, everybody is dirty in the face and they go home and can't play
football for the next four weeks. This is Borussia."
Arsenal
face Dortmund on Wednesday, travelling to Germany in hope of winning
vital points in a very tight Champions League qualifying group. Arsenal,
Dortmund and Napoli are all tied on six points each after three games,
though Arsenal are currently top of Group F on goal difference.
The
Gunners have a tough week ahead of them, five points clear at the top
of the Premier League they will face Manchester United on Sunday
