Arsenal defender Miquel wants Gunners to look ahead and not think about defeat to Liverpool
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and focus on the season ahead.
The Gunners went into the game without a host of first team players and looked to put up a good fight. However, a very unlucky own goal allowed Liverpool to build on the game and then when they scored a second goal in injury time, the match was over.
Miquel made his Premier League debut for the Gunners in the game and was highly impressive, the defender went on to prove that he could play with the first team and not make any major mistakes.
However, the player was introduced to the team under unfortunate circumstances. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Laurent-Koscielny-c21742 went on to injure himself in the opening fifteen minutes of the game and with the team not having any other options; they had to turn to the eighteen year old
to fill in for the player.
With the team still lacking its first choice defenders, since they are still set to recover from injuries, it seems more than likely for Miquel to start in Arsenal’s Champions League qualifier game.
The Gunners went on to edge past Udinese in the first leg of the game via a very early http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Walcott-c34873 goal, but this time around, things might be a little harder for the North London team.
Due to the pressure of the upcoming games and with all the trophies to compete for, Miquel seems to feel that living in the past is just going to drag the Gunners down and they need to avoid letting that happen.
The youngster, when talking about the defeat to Liverpool is quoted to have said: “We have to work hard and forget about this result”
He then went on to highlight the two upcoming fixtures that could make or break the team’s season, as he added: “Next week we have Manchester United and, firstly, Udinese in the Champions League. It is pointless to think about [the Liverpool] result.
“We have to be positive because Udinese have to score two goals. We have to be positive, give 100 per cent and, if we do that, I am sure we can win it.”
Arsenal are currently down and their luck and being counted out by almost everyone. The team really need to pull together and overcome their critics by proving their worth as they take on Udinese and then United. Should the team avoid being humiliated in
the games and pick up decent results, then it would prove that there is some hope for the Gunners this season.
