Arsenal’s French centre back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Per-Mertesacker-c29680, and he feels that the duo make a very good team at the back.
The two players were back in action for the Gunners this past weekend, and with them going on to help the team keep a clean sheet once again, it seems like Arsene Wenger might just go on and opt to use the two in the team’s upcoming games.
Having taken on Fulham at the Craven Cottage, it seemed like the North London team might end up dropping some points. However, with Mertesacker scoring the only goal of the game, the team went on to claim all three points from the game.
In fact, the duo of Mertesacker and Koscielny has been so effective, that the two have managed to keep out http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thomas-Vermaelen-c35002 on the sidelines, despite him being captain of the team.
"Per is a very good player," the Frenchman said.
"He is a different type of player to Thomas. He is good off the ball and for me that's good because I'm quicker than him and can stand behind him for the long balls.”
"We play well with Per, we have good communication on the pitch and try to talk a lot. Per is calm on the pitch all the time and that's good for my experience."
Koscielny then went on to talk about Olivier Giroud, who has been ruled out of the game against Manchester United, since he picked up a red card in the game against Fulham. The striker didn’t do much wrong, but the referee deemed his tackle to be worthy of
a red card.
When talking about Giroud, Koscielny went on to state: "Yeah, he was sad – he can't play against Manchester United"
However, he ended by admitting that the Gunners were now looking to go all out in their game against Manchester United. He also admitted that he would love to contain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 if he could, but admitted that the game wouldn’t be too easy.
"I hope [I can keep Van Persie quiet], he is a good player," Koscielny continued. "It will be a hard game for both teams but we will want the three points. It will be a very good game against a big team
