Tottenham's sporting director Damien Comolli has revealed that
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger cannot handle watching his side
lose.
Spurs clash with the Gunners at White Hart Lane on Saturday and
defeat for the visitors would leave their boss in a rage.
Comolli was with Wenger at Monaco, Japan's Grampus Eight and was
European scout for Arsenal before joining Tottenham.
And he has revealed in a new book called 'Arsene Wenger, The
Biography', written by Xavier Rivoire and published by Aurum that
his old boss is a bad loser.
"I saw Arsene after defeat at Arsenal and he didn't talk, he didn't
eat," says Comolli.
"Normally - that is to say, when he hadn't lost - he was a nice
guy, with a lot of class and restraint. But people knew there was
this cauldron inside of him.
"Arsene in a rage is nothing like the image the people have of him.
It is precisely the opposite because he is perceived as detached
and lacking passion.
"In fact, he always gives 200 per cent and, yes, he can
explode.
"I have seen him in some incredible states. But the amazing thing
is that the morning after a defeat, although he feels exactly the
same inside, he never shows it to his players."
