Wenger - Why Toure is so grateful to Campbell
By Richard Clarke
Arse`ne Wenger believes that Kolo Toure owes much of his rapid development to
the man he will face on Saturday.
Sol Campbell partnered the Ivorian at the heart of the Arsenal defence for
four seasons before leaving for Portsmouth during the summer. Toure has taken
to the role of senior centre back with alacrity however his manager knows he
had help on the way.
“Kolo loved to play with Sol,” said Wenger at Friday’s press conference. “
I think Kolo will be grateful to Sol his whole life because he started to
play with Sol as an inexperienced player.
“I can remember the first time I played them together, it was in Austria. I
think if Kolo has made a career it is a lot down to Sol.
“But that's what Sol was all about as well. He is like Gilberto a little bit
- a quiet kind of leader.”
Wenger expected the former Tottenham defender to go abroad after leaving
Arsenal and he revealed he has not rung him since his departure — but only
because the 32-year-old is doing so well at Portsmouth.
“I felt at the time that deep within himself he wanted to go to a foreign
country but he went to Portsmouth,” said Wenger “I don't know why, he can
only explain that. But I'm not surprised he is playing well now.
“I have not spoken to him no, but it's always a pleasure. When it goes well
for a player I don't call them. [For example] I had Robert Pires on the
phone last week because he is injured and cannot play. But when they can play
they don't need to call.”
