“Now there are 9 games left. Enjoy this moment!”
This is the message Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta gave to the Arsenal players right after the victory over Leeds.
Leading Arsenal, led by coach Arteta, won round 29 in the English Premier League (EPL) at home against Leeds United on the 1st (Korea time) with a 4-1 victory thanks to the multi-goal of Gabriel Jesus, White and Zaka in a row . Manchester City, who beat Liverpool 4-1, maintained an eight-point gap. The dream of winning the league for the first time in 19 years is getting closer step by step.
After the game, coach Arteta said, “Let’s enjoy the moment we’re in. Now we have nine games left.” “It gave me a big boost when our team all sang with one voice. Football is about passion, emotions and what we can achieve. The crowd provides energy, faith, love and unconditional support to the players.” He expressed his deep gratitude.
“The reaction of the crowd when we conceded a goal in the second half was another good example. They were cheering the team passionately. It was a rare exceptional fun and that spirit stayed with us.” “It was a very exciting game. We will continue to move forward. We will focus on the next game again because we want to give everything we have in every game.”
The Arsenal game, which took place immediately after Man City’s great win in second place, Arsenal’s players overcame the pressure and won a great win with the same scoreline, and manager Arteta praised ‘our players responded in a way perfect’.
“Do what we can control, that’s what we’re going to do. There were complicated situations for some of the players after the break in the A game, but the players performed very well, and the players were all actively involved and we could manage. We brought victory in the most reasonable way possible,” he expressed satisfaction.
I did not forget to praise Gabriel Jesus, the goalscorer who scored several goals in the league for the first time in four months since November last year. “I’m happy Jeju scored a goal. We all praised him. Over the last four or five months, he’s worked really hard. He deserved enough to start, he didn’t miss his chance and scored two goal.” praise Reporter Jeon Young-ji sky4us@sportschosun.com
