Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger has revealed the reasons why he turned down the chance to manage Real Madrid.
The Professor was heavily linked with a the Bernabéu job earlier this summer after Florentino Pérez returned to presidency and instigated an unprecedented spending spree.
But Wenger stressed his commitment to Arsenal, whom he believes are on the verge of converting progress into trophies.
He said in the Daily Mirror: "What Real want to do is produce what I would call a spectacle of football, a spectacular team.
"But I believe that when it comes to creating a team and a squad there is another dimension that exists, and that is my way of thinking.
"I want to have success by building a team with a style, with a know-how, with a culture of play specific to the club and its fans and with young people.
"That is what I have chosen in my career and want to ensure I continue here at Arsenal.
"I am in a construction project with a young team, but my intention is to take that project to the ultimate end. For me, pleasure comes from watching those players showing the football I like to see played."
