Wenger, during the interview, revealed that he encouraged Arsenal to organise a tour in India: "I have always encouraged Arsenal to organise a tour in India. We were close a few times but it never happened."

He also said he "will" visit India!

Wenger described India as a "special society" with a philosophy different to other countries. "As a kid, I learnt about the country's special resistance, a non-violent resistance, and I was certainly impressed by that. India gave examples of creative ways to think and act. It’s a special society where there is a complete different philosophy compared to other countries."
