TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Arsenal do not need new players yet after getting goalkeeper Petr Cech from Chelsea. They are confident to enter the English Premier League 2015-2016 starting on August 8. This was stated by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger after beating Olympique Lyonnais 6-0 on the first game of the Emirates Cup Tournament at the Emirates Stadium, in London, Saturday, July 25, 2015.

Accompanied by Arsenal Head of Media Relations Don Tolhurst, Wenger entertained a number of questions from reporters, including Tempo contributor in London, Vishnu Juwono. Wenger looks happy during the question and answer session since his team had just won a landslide victory over Lyon. Here are excerpts of the interview.

It seems that you are satisfied with the results of the match. What is your comment?

It looks like the dynamics of the team in the game was going well. We can score goals, continuing a trend at the end of last season and preseason games. But we did not expect to score as much as this.

What about the next match against VFL Wolfsburg (on Sunday, July 26, 2015)?

VFL is a team with good quality, second place in Germany, and the main competitor of Bayern (Munich). Of course this is a test and a challenge for us.

Is the quality of your team is even due to a goal scored by six different people?

Of course football is not mathematics, has its own logic, the chances would be created so the members of the squad play nicely with each other. Every game is different. With this result, we are open to various options. Moreover, we played without (Danny) Wellbeck and Alexis (Sanchez), the two major players. In addition, there is no (Jack) Wilshere. That is, we have a good squad.

Is there a need Arsenal to buy new players?

Today we do not need to acquire new players. Moreover, we proved to be scored six goals. In the FA Cup final (English Football Association) last season, we scored four goals. We created chances and can score goals. We are always open to an option to buy, but the players are included in the stock market. Additionally, many other clubs are ready to buy with large funds.

Associated with the performance of young players Arsenal. What is your response?

One of the advantages of pre-season tournaments are competitive and can see a promising young players. As can be seen in the self Alex Iwobi, Jeff Reine-Adeleide, and Chuba Akpom. They practice with us, so it's easy for them to blend in to the team.

What is the chance to win the English Premier League next year?

I want to be careful in this regard. This year (2014-2105 season), we were in third and won the FA Cup. Surely this is a strong base. Our target is to obtain better results. We want to focus efforts on achieving that and it will be difficult because of the challenges are great.

We will focus on improving the performance of the team without too much worry on the performance of other teams. We must focus on the business itself, which gives the best.

What are your tips in selecting the best squad?

On the one hand, the media will ask, "How to make all the players satisfied?" On the other hand will be asked, "Why do not buy new players?"

If you do not choose because they are all good players, why should you buy new players? In my opinion, the composition of the team in terms of both quality and quantity. Therefore, the number of matches will be much and we will always need them. The consequences of participating in various competitions is part of our job.

What is the ideal number of players to build a team?

Some players will be loaned. Currently Alex Wiobi will play for us. But for some other players, we have to decide whether they need experience to play regularly as part of the educational process? Moreover, the consequences if the loan, will waste time because here they train with top players. So it's going to be sensitive.

What's wrong with Wilshere in the first game?

Wilshere was no problem. I was rested him, but tomorrow (Sunday) will play. Likewise, with Petr Cech.
