The former Arsenal defender feels responsible for Wenger's dismissal

was one of the witnesses to the disappointing coveragePer Mertesacker of Arsène Wenger's trip. He felt responsible for Arsenal's defects and Wenger's departure from the Emirates Stadium.
As we know, the performance of the shooter in recent years, Arsene Wenger, continues to experience a downward trend. Their trophy has not changed since their last win in the FA Cup in 2016-2017.
In fact, Arsenal have never had experience playing in the prestigious European arena, the Champions League. After the 2016-2017 season, they became one of the regular participants in the second caste, the Europa League.

Lack of success can make Arsenal's relationship with supporters fragile. On several occasions, we have not seen loyal supporters attack the stadium to provide support. This made Wenger's farewell to the Gunners even worse.
Mertesacker was one of Arsenal's players at the time, even with the team captain. Because of this, he feels responsible for the poor performance of the team in recent years.

"It's difficult, you feel almost responsible, responsible for the lack of success and maybe Wenger will probably leave one day because we don't give what everyone wants," Mertesacker told Mirror. .
"I feel very, very disappointed when the coach was fired," he continued. "I am fortunate to be able to play for Thomas Scaaf in Bremen, and for Arsene Wenger, so I feel more and more accountable to the coach and his success," he continued.

"And you can feel that this day will come, because the expectations are different. We have to go back to compete for the Premier League title, not the FA Cup. So, the change ... You might have a feeling he will come," he added.
Now, Mertesacker is no longer an active player. At the end of Wenger's leadership, he decided to hang up his boots.

He is now involved in the development of the Arsenal Youth Academy. He hopes to make a major contribution to Arsenal by producing talented young talents who were once the hallmark of the team.
"I want to create a world-class academy, which gives everyone the feeling that we have the best talent for the first team. The first coach now wants to bring us back to the Champions League," Mertesacker said.
