Arsenal’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Johan-Djourou-c18779 believes that Arsenal need to beat Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby, as they need the win to build up their confidence.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 are currently sitting ten points behind Tottenham in the Premier League table and having lost to them by two goals to one at the White Hart Lane, the Gunners are looking to go all out this time around.
Gunners defender, Johan Djourou believes that the time for Arsenal to prove their worth is finally here. The Swiss international also believes that a win over their local rivals would give the team the confidence boost that they need, in order to go on and
ensure a top four finish.
However, the defender didn’t take any credit away from Tottenham as he believes the team has been doing exceptionally well this term and are really starting to develop as a team.
The defender, when talking about the upcoming game and its importance is quoted to have said: “When you play them, you forget the table; it is a battle and the best team will win.”
“They are in great shape this season, they have been playing a lot better than before but you have to forget about that and go to war.”
He then went on to talk about the Spurs squad, as he believes the current Tottenham team is amongst the best the club has ever had.
“They have a lot of quality, we shouldn't be blind about that. They have players like Modric, Parker, Adebayor and Bale so it’s a good team.”
Djourou then ended by admitting the team really went on to turn things around between the end of last season and the start of the current campaign.
Nonetheless, the Arsenal centre back wants to win the game, just to prove that the Gunners are still the kings of London.
“When you play well you gain a lot of confidence. At the start of the season some people wrote them off because they lost a few games but since then they have been unbelievable. But it is up to us to show that we are the kings of London.”
