Football Special Report: Arsenal- Andrei Arshavin's form essential for Gunners (Part 2)
However, once again, Arsenal skipper, Cesc Fabregas has shown the right path, labelling Arshavin as the game changer against arch rivals Tottenham Hotspur in Carling Cup match. Arshavin was good after he came on, but was not able to produce an exceptional
performance or for that matter, anything close to it.
However, Cesc Fabregas admired the way his fellow teammate performed in that match. The Spanish midfielder was quick to point out that the penalties which Arsenal won against Spurs were masterminded by Arshavin. Arshavin himself scored a brilliant fourth
goal in that match.
In scoring the fourth goal against Tottenham Hotspurs, Arshavin would have gained the much needed confidence and the Gunners supporters will hope that this is the spark that is required to ignite his form. Arsenal skipper, Cesc Fabregas’ comments will only
do well for his spirits. It is very essential that Arshavin remains in good spirits throughout the season.
Fabregas is a true leader for the Gunners, and even when he is sidelined, he can inspire his team mates, by saying the motivating things and inculcating the right attitude in which they should approach the game.
There were many Gunners fans, who believed that Cesc Fabregas should not be the skipper, after he handed the request to move to Barcelona. However, ‘The Professor’ showed his trust in Spaniard’s devotion to the club and Arsene Wenger was once again proved
right.
The Spanish world cup winner gives his full effort, when he is on the pitch, and has his mind is set upon how to achieve a victory against the opposition. Even when Aaron Ramsey was injured by the horrific tackle, Cesc showed great composure to slot home
the penalty, and rallied his troops after a long and weary battle. It is his fighting spirit and commitment, that the every Gunner takes inspiration from, and he is rightfully, Arsenal’s skipper.
Fabregas’ comments will surely boost Arshavin's confidence and in the absence of key players for the next couple of fixtures, it is all the more important that Arshavin strikes a rich vein of form. The Spanish midfielder has supported Arshavin and even the
team, even though he is out of action.
Moreover, Arsenal boss also showed remarkable great confidence in Arshavin. Arsene Wenger was also said that Arshavin’s form is a key to end the trophy drought at the Emirates. Arsenal coach also said that Arshavin could prove to be the most inspirational
player on the pitch in the absence of many Gunners vital players.
Moreover, such exceptional support from his skipper and coach should help Arshavin to boost his morale and bring back his inspirational form.
Arshavin is one of the most successful footballers of the present era. There are numerous individual records to his name. In 2006, Arshavin was named ‘Russian Footballer of the Year’. Along with that, Arshavin has been named Premier League Player of the
Month twice.
Andrei Arshavin is now considered one of the integral part of the young and fringe Gunners squad. It is very important for Arshavin to retain his impressive form in order to win any silverware.
