Scared of being beaten? Old player: Wenger once asked me to push Messi down the Camp Nou stairs!

August 26. Arsenal former player Walcott talked about his former head coach and famous coach Wenger's defensive tactic against Messi in the show It’s Called Soccer. However, it seems that it cannot be implemented, and it seems that it is more like sighing that Messi cannot defend himself at all. Because Wenger set up a defensive tactic for him to push Messi down from the Camp Nou stairs!

Walcott said that he had been a rival to Messi many times. Once, head coach Wenger grabbed his jersey after the game because Wenger saw Walcott talking to Messi. Messi was walking past the Camp Nou stairs.

Walcott specifically explained Messi's location at the time, which was at the top of the stairs and the layout of the stairs at the Camp Nou. He asked the outside world if you have been to Camp Nou or have you seen the stairs of Camp Nou from TV? Because Barcelona players will walk from the Camp Nou stairs to the stadium. The stair layout of the Camp Nou is for the next word. Walcott said Wenger told him at that time, why not push Messi down the stairs?

This sentence shocked the female host of the show Rebecca Lowe. She asked Walcott in surprise: Wenger really said this? Walcott said Wenger really said that, and he said 100%. The female host still couldn't believe it and continued to ask: Isn't this serious? Walcott isn't sure if Wenger is joking, but Wenger does say so. Walcott certainly wouldn't do that. The host also said that the most unlikely thing was that Walcott pushed Messi down the Camp Nou stairs.

Obviously, Wenger, who certified Messi as the number one player in history before Messi won the World Cup championship, did not really want the players to hurt Messi. This is to smash other people's jobs and violate the principle of being a human being. Wenger also knew that Walcott would not commit a crime. He probably was afraid of being abused by Messi. He knew that no one could defend against Messi. The only thing that could defend against Messi was the off-set move (Real Madrid was best at it).
