Wenger exclusive: My blueprint for football鈥檚 future
Arsene Wenger explains his plan for fewer international breaks and biennial World Cups.
In an exclusive interview, Fifa鈥檚 head of global development Arsene Wenger tells the Sports Desk why his controversial plan for a men鈥檚 World Cup every two years is good for football and the welfare of its leading players.
Wenger talks about the "chaos" of the current match schedule, proposes fewer international breaks and says he is prepared to "gamble" on a restructure that would see "the best play the best" more often.
