Arsene Wenger has hit back at Jurgen Klopp's claim that the Club World Cup is 'the worst idea ever in football'.
The former Arsenal boss, now FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development, insisted the competition is 'needed' and defended the quality of football and higher-than-expected attendances. Wenger also shared the view that all participating clubs would jump at the chance to compete again.
'Everyone is entitled to their opinion,' said the Frenchman. 'I don’t share the opinion of Jurgen Klopp. The Club World Cup is needed. 100 per cent of the clubs here want to do this again.
