Arsenal legend Jens Lehmann joined the club's coaching staff in June.
The former German international was part of the invincibles that went
an entire season league undefeated 2003/2004.
He went on to make 200 appearances for the club over two spells.
Arsene Wenger spoke to the club's in house channel, Arsenal player,
spoke on what the qualities the German would bring to the table in his
first coaching job and how this would impact the players.
"He has a demanding attitude and can give his desire to win to the
players, to help them achieve their targets,"
"That's what you want from these players. "He can also give good
advice because he has gone through periods where it was not easy for
him, where it wasn't all going well, and I believe his rigorous
attitude to his career is similar to Per Mertesacker. It's important
that a team is surrounded by people like that.
"He enjoys being involved in training as well, and to experience the
pleasure he had when he was giving his best for Arsenal Football Club
again. He's still highly motivated and that motivation never goes.
When you want to do things well, I don't think that ever changes."
The all action German was never shy of dishing it out to his team
mates and opponents alike during his playing days, no doubt
transferring that attitude of always being on your toes would go a
long way to aiding this current group of Arsenal players who have a
knack for losing their way when things don't go the way they
envisaged.
