Tottenham Hotspur defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/William-Gallas-c36874 has reflected on the 5-2 derby defeat against Arsenal this past weekend, and insists that the club needs to bounce back as quickly as possible if they wish to have a successful season.
The Frenchman saw his team suffer their third successive defeat in the league as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526 scored the opening goal
in the first 10 minutes.
It had to be him, and the former Arsenal man was clearly jubilant at having scored against his old team. However, he quickly went from hero to zero as he got sent off for a rash and reckless lunge on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santi-Cazorla-c32505.
Adebayor’s sending off was arguably the turning point of the game and it pave the opening for Arsenal to attack ruthlessly and take full advantage of Spur’s handicap.
The hosts went on to score 5 goals, while Tottenham imploded and failed to match Arsenal’s midfield mastery. Santi Cazorla ran the show in midfield while Arsenal’s front trio of Olivier Giroud, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lukas-Podolski-c22896 pushed forward with intent and
purpose.
William Gallas, also a former Arsenal player, believes that his team need to put the loss behind them and recover the form that saw them go on a 4-match winning streak earlier this season.
The Frenchman is concerned with his team’s ability to cope without Adebayor in the next 3 games, but is confident that they’ll manage and bounce back. Speaking to the press, the player said:
"I know it’s not easy sometimes but we have to come back to training, work again and try to have confidence because it’s true that confidence can be low. We lost 5-2 so the confidence can be low, but we will be okay.”
"Every game is very good because it means you can forget about the game you have played before. West Ham will be one more difficult game but we have to carry on. We have a target, we have to keep working in training and it will come."
