http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429’s manager, Arsene Wenger has admitted that he is happy to have seen his team avoid a very disastrous result against Reading in the Capital One Cup.
The North London club played Reading in the Madejski stadium and saw themselves going down by four goals to nil early on in the first half.
The team then went on to go all out in the game, as they pegged back and won the match by seven goals to five in the end.
The manager has time and time again insisted that he doesn’t consider the League cup to be a very important competition, but the way he behaved in the match last night, things might have changed.
With Arsenal showing great spirit and ability in the game, the manager actually went on to become eager to see his team come out on top, under any circumstance in the game.
When talking about the match, the Gunners boss is reported to have said: "It was not one of our priorities but had we gone out the way we could have gone out, it would not have been one of my proudest moments"
"We went from disaster to giving ourselves at least some pride, because we came back with a decent performance.”
"We had only hope that we would go through, but at least we got our first-half disasters out of our system.”
"I felt for our fans because even at 4-0, they stayed behind the team. I would like to give them credit, and I’m happy that we paid them back in the second half.”
"Once it was 4-4 I felt we would win the game, because Reading had given a lot, and were mentally down. We looked quite comfortable in extra time."
Despite the team proving that their defence is nothing to be admired, the way that the team attacked is quite commendable.
The North London club’s offensive line up did not take a moments rest and kept going at their opponents all the way till the end of extra time.
This goes to show that the club’s players might finally be getting their spirit back, which is something that has eluded the team for quite some time now.
Nonetheless, should they build on this win, they could gain valuable momentum going forward in the season this time around.
