Magical! Here is what Arsenal boss is doing behind the scene

Arsenal manager, Unai Emery has revealed that he studied the Gunners carefully before accepting the role as head coach in May and he immediately worked on helping the team improve its competitiveness.

The former Sevilla and Paris Saint German (PSG) Coach is pleased with the progress of the team and they are currently on an 11-game winning streak.

“I think the first thing we spoke about when I arrived here was to improve our competitiveness, both individually and collectively as a team,” he said.

“We are doing that. Step by step, I think the team is more competitive and we are not giving the opposition a lot of chances to score easy goals.

“At the moment, we are conceding a lot more than we want to but, in the last matches, we are learning to control games better, little by little. Also, we are not losing.

“The most important thing is that these players and this team, like over the last few years, have this combination of quality and competitiveness. Then we can finish with a lot of players in the opposition box.

“This is the balance between being more competitive and not losing our identity and style. We also need to keep that identity in this team.”

On whether he is surprised by his team’s form, he replied: “Maybe it’s one process but we need to be very demanding of ourselves to improve and also when we are winning, we need to look at where we can improve tactically to progress individually and collectively.

“We do this with tactical things and by taking a lot of confidence, by taking a lot of responsibility and showing a lot of ambition to keep our demands very high in order to improve. It’s true that we’ve won the last matches, but each match is very important for us and very difficult for us. It’s important that we don’t stop and that we continue to work every day and keep up our concentration for each match, to do that with high intensity.”

Arsenal have lifted three FA Cups in four seasons but are yet to win the premier league in 14 years and recent form hasn’t been great as they failed to make the UEFA Champions League in but back-to-back seasons.

Arsenal are currently placed fourth with 21 points, two behind leaders Manchester City after nine Premier League matches so far this season.
