Arsenal’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Laurent-Koscielny-c21742 has admitted that hitting the gym and bulking up helped him adapt to life in the Premier League.
The defender went on to have a rather tame first season at the Emirates and was often caught falling over or being pushed around by opposing strikers.
However, all of that changed last season, as the French international went on to put in some of the best performances of his career.
Koscielny was everywhere and some even considered him to be the reason for Arsenal’s defence doing as well as it did.
In fact, it is hard not to agree with the fact that Koscielny was Arsenal’s most improved and amongst the most consistent players last season.
When talking about just how he went on to improve his performances and settle down into the team, the centre back is quoted to have said: "I was in the gym more, that is the first reason.”
"I feel better than last year. I know the league, my team and the club. I think I am better on and off the pitch so for a player, when you feel good with your team-mates, the club and his family, it is better.”
"I feel very good to help my team and to qualify for the Champions League. I just wanted that for the end of this season.
"I know this league more than last year. In all my body I am better, not just physically, psychologically as well.”
The player is now looking to use this form and ability that he has developed over the last two seasons, to improve even further in the future.
Koscielny is currently set to play in the Euro 2012 with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 and based on how he played for the Gunners, he could go on and make a name for himself on the international stage.
Nonetheless, with Koscielny seemingly performing to the best of this abilities, there is one less area that Arsene Wenger needs to concern himself with, as he can look to build on various other departments of his team, as he looks to help his side win a
trophy in the near future and put an end to their barren run.
