THE’Arsenal he’s back, forcefully. After a short period of adjustment and not entirely convincing results, it has recovered positions and since yesterday is in second place in the standings to the detriment of Chelsea, only behind Premier League leaders Liverpool. The 1-0 inflicted on Ipswich with the signing of Kai Havertz was decisive, although another player always seems to have an impact on matches and is Leandro Trossarddesigner of the assist: “He does it all the time. He can go left, he can go right, he creates, he scores, I don’t think he felt too good tonight either, so to play 90 minutes like he did… credit goes to him too. He is one of my good friends here, he is a special player”, the words taken from the official channels of the Gunners.
As for the result: “It’s a great victory, after the Christmas period, really positive. Ipswich create a lot of danger, they have a lot of quality, so winning was a positive sign. Breaking a low defense with a 5-4-1 is really difficult, teams continue to come here and do it, it’s up to us to find that something extra, and tonight (last night, ed.) we succeeded. Three important points, very positive, and now we go to Brentford on New Year’s Day, which will be another important game. They are a great team with great individual players. They made an extraordinary ‘race’ in their stadium, it will be tough but it’s up to us again to prepare and be ready.”
Extended our unbeaten run at the Emirates Stadium to 17 matches: “The teams now, to stop us, continue to play with five or four defenses, with five in the middle, and it’s up to us to break them and find different ways to do it. We spent the whole first half in their half of the field and in the second half , we had a somewhat imprecise start that we need to improve as the game opened up, we had two or three chances to close it out.”
