 Manu: "A step to a higher level" by Jon
on 31/7/00 at 05:28
this is story 95 of 180 in this topic to date

When introduced for the Spanish press, Emmanuel Petit explained that bigger chances of European glory was one of the reasons for transferring from Arsenal.

"There is the ambition and talent at Arsenal to win the European Cup, but they are still at the apprenticeship stage as far as that competition is concerned," Petit said. At Soccernet, this is construed as a 'parting shot' and a 'stinging put-down'...

Comparing the European record of Arsenal and Barcelona for the last few seasons, it's easy to understand Manu when he continues, "Barcelona is, I think, a step to a higher level."

"I think I have a better opportunity to win the European Cup here than with Arsenal."

Ah, but that's thinking short term, Manu...
