New Year Offers New Hope For Arsenal

Arsenal started the new year extremely well after beating Manchester United 2-0 at the Emirates. Nicolas Pepe and Papa Sokratis signed, sealed and delivered the victory for the Gunners in the first half.

Many people didn’t expect Arsenal to perform brilliantly in the game, considering the fact that the Gunners had been unsettled in recent times. A good start to the year might just be the trigger they need to forge on and rewrite the story.

Mikel Arteta showed that he had the ability to win games and inspire his team to play the tiki taka style in one of the most scintillating ways. Mesut Ozil was looking happy to play in the colors of an Arsenal jersey during the match as he disseminated the ball to his teammates with precision, Alex Lacazette was on fire, despite the fact that he didn’t score a goal, he was everywhere during the game. Harry Maguire was infuriated by Lacazette’s effrontery to dribble past him. It was a five-star performance.

Perhaps, the telepathic understanding which is needed for a team to get back to winning ways is gradually finding its way back into the team. Arteta’s philosophy of passing the ball incisively could take Arsenal to the next stage.

Players are beginning to understand his style of play and communication is getting better. The next couple of months will be very tough, but the Gunners will eventually come out stronger following the display of passion and desire to win. Winning is a continuum for every good team, loyalty to good results is what champions do. Arteta is a champion and he loves the club. His players know what it takes to compete at the top.

Greatness awaits this hungry team if the players continue with the same spirit. Nevertheless, injury crisis often spoils the plans of coaches for the progress of a team. Arteta if he escapes that menace will be lucky!
