The World Cup Is Not Enough for Arsene Wenger, as he took time out from his busy schedule of punditry and scouting to take a dip in the sea at Ipanema beach before enjoying a game of beach football.



There were shades of Daniel Craig’s famous scene in Casino Royale as Wenger emerged from the water wearing a skimpy pair of sky blue trunks.



After drying himself down he took part in a game of beach football with former France internationals Christian Karembeu and Bixtente Lizarazu.

And in a game of beach volleyball, Wenger pulled off a header similar to the one scored by Robin van Persie during Holland's 5-1 win over Spain in Salvador.
