...London side played a dour, defensive game. Today it is the team's own fans who chant, "Boring, boring Arsenal," with irony. The side is in severe danger of being responsible for playing the most skillful and colorful football in England's Premier League. Under manager Arsène Wenger, Arsenal has become a team combining technique, speed and flair that not only plays dazzling football but wins too. Having won the League Championship and Football Association Cup last season, they are now on a run of 27 unbeaten league games. Frenchman Wenger has an enviable ability to spot talent...

...Troussier got the job on the recommendation of another foreign veteran of Japan, Arsène Wenger, the acclaimed French coach of the English club Arsenal. One of France's first coaching exports, Wenger moved from J-League side Nagoya Grampus Eight to the Gunners in 1996, and promptly turned the London club into a veritable colony of expat French stars. Within two years, he had walked off with both the English Premiership title and the Football Association Cup. His bid to another F.A. cup was thwarted last year by Liverpool, under the coaching of another Frenchman, Gérard...
