Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger wags a finger at Emmanuel Adebayor
"In our job you accept that you give to people as much as you can and don't expect any return so you are never disappointed," he said. "That is how I approach my job. It's exactly the same [as being a parent], you give your best but it's never enough." [LNB]Asked about Adebayor, Wenger said: "I don't feel I have done too badly. I try to help every player to achieve something in his career."[LNB]Emmanuel Eboué is another player whom Wenger has guided successfully, particularly after the Ivorian was booed by his own fans last year in the fixture that corresponds with today's match against Wigan. To make matters worse, Eboué had come on as a substitute in that game before being replaced in the 90th minute because he had, in the opinion of Wenger, "completely lost his confidence".[LNB]Eboué his since described how he went straight home after his "worst moment in football" and spent several hours alone in his bedroom, unwilling even to speak with his wife.[LNB]"How low he was is very difficult to describe," said Wenger. "He is a guy who wants to do well and is humble and decent. He analysed well what happened and changed. He has always been a good guy, loved in the dressing room."[LNB]Wenger also believes that the supporters evaluated the incident. "I think it worked for him because people think, 'Come on, we have gone too far there'. I believe the fans realise that they can go too far and in that case part of the public said, 'No that is not right no matter what happens. We have to stand behind the players'.[LNB]"During the game it is an emotional response. I understand when you want so much to win during the game you can go a little bit too far." [LNB]The Football Association has also asked the police and clubs to identify supporters involved in any violent and aggravating behaviour.[LNB][LNB]
