#2 Improved training regimes
Wenger was a perfectionist when it came to training sessions. The Frenchman was always the first to arrive and last to leave. David Platt, a former Arsenal player revealed that this was one area where Wenger was actually dictatorial in nature.
Things were extremely organised and detailed as the new manager ran everything according to his stopwatch. Not a single second was squandered and the team was on its toes throughout the training session.
Wenger also introduced a special muscle training exercise called plyometrics. This involved increased stress and tension on the muscles but also ensured that the results were much better.
Plyometrics was initially used by sprinters, hurdlers and long jumpers, but its introduction at Arsenal slowly saw the team become the fittest in the league. In fact, the Arsenal team trained so well that their game would always go a notch up during the death stages of a match.
