Arsène Wenger has proposed a debate about the pressures young footballers are under as he is far from convinced that today’s environment for hothousing talent is the best way to prepare tomorrow’s players.

But I just think the longer you live a normal life the better.”Wenger has always been an advocate of giving chances to young players, and was never afraid to promote those he felt had the talent and maturity to succeed. Wenger believes a bigger conversation about the development of young players, and their opportunities, is needed.
