Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger feels proud of his recent work with the club.
Wenger claimed the last four ‘trophyless’ years have contained his finest work as manager of Arsenal.
"The last four years have been the most challenging period of my career," said Wenger. "But it is not linked with not winning a trophy. Moving into a stadium and keeping the team at the top means my best period at the club has been in the last four years.
"Unfortunately, we’ve not won trophies but people forget we have been consistent and it has been the most difficult period but also the period when I have worked the best. To move into a new stadium with less resources, respect the fact we have still made some money every single year without the team dropping down a level."
Wenger has faith in his policy of creating a team from young players.
"People forget that the average age of our players is 22 years old and what they do at their age is remarkable," said the Frenchman, who joined Arsenal in 1996.
"When you have never won, the most difficult thing is to win the first trophy. Once you are convinced you can win, the rest become easier because you relax just a little bit."
