AC Milan’s Thiago Silva admits that Arsenal’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 could easily prove to be the deciding factor in the Champions League clash between the two teams.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903 is going to be a part of the Milan starting eleven that takes on Arsenal, but the defender has admitted that he is more than cautious of facing off against the North London club.
When talking about the game, Silva is quoted to have said: "If you do something wrong at home, you're out"
"Arsenal are a great team. We must watch out for the quality of all their players. Over 180 minutes, if you do something wrong in the home leg you're out.”
He then went on to admit that the Gunners strikers could prove to be the decisive factor in the tie, as he went on to add: "Van Persie and Henry can decide the match at any time. I don't know whether I'll be able to stop the Dutchman ‒ we'll have to see"
Over the course of the last couple of weeks, both Henry and Van Persie have stepped up and helped the North London club pick up some crucial wins.
Van Persie has been running the show for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 this entire season, while Henry has helped the team win two games, just when everyone thought that the match would end in a draw.
Now, with both the strikers in top form, they are bound to help the team take the game to Milan, when the two teams clash.
Many are claiming the game between the two teams to be the biggest match at this point in the Champions League and should the Gunners attackers bring their ‘A’ game, it could also prove to be the most entertaining.
The last time these two teams met in 2008, Arsenal went on to sneak past their Italian opponents. As a result, Milan are going to be looking to redeem themselves in the upcoming game, as they look to progress to the next round of the competition.
Nonetheless, in the end whatever team manages to stay focused over the course of the two legs is going to end up progressing to the next round of the competition, while the other will crash out of the European competition.
