Arsenal boss Wenger not feeling the pressure against Man City

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists he is
excited about a "special opportunity" rather than
feeling the pressure ahead of the FA Cup semi-final
against Manchester City.
The Gunners face Pep Guardiola's men at Wembley
on Sunday as they bid to take the penultimate step
towards winning a third cup crown in four years.
Wenger is under intense pressure from supporters
with his contract due to expire at the end of the
season and Arsenal sitting down in sixth in the
Premier League.
But Wenger says he felt under more strain in 2014,
when Arsenal were hoping to end a nine-year
trophy drought, and stresses league form will count
for nothing against City.
The match will be a record 11th FA Cup semi-final
for Wenger, who is eyeing a seventh triumph in the
competition - also a record.
"I'm very proud because you have many strong
managers in England for many periods," Wenger
said of his FA Cup achievements.
"It is not easy to do. I always thought the cup is
special. The championship is more of a marathon
and this is more condensed and a quicker reward.
"When I was a kid, I watched the games at
Wembley on television. It is still massive and what
is great at Wembley is that you see your fans
coming in and it is a unique experience for them
and their children in life that they never forget."
Wenger insists he has not thought about the
prospect of playing the final against rivals
Tottenham, who face Chelsea in Saturday's semi.
"No, not at all," he said. "If we had played a
Championship team, I would honestly say yes, but
because we play City, I don't think about it like
that.
"It would be absolutely stupid to speculate. Let's
first deal with City and see what happens there."
