As Arsenal gears up for their blockbuster clash against Manchester City, Jorginho has lifted the lid on how Mikel Arteta’s side intends to counter the scoring machine that is Erling Haaland.
Arsenal’s Plan to Stop Haaland: Jorginho Speaks on City’s Goal Machine
The Norwegian striker has been in scintillating form, netting nine goals in his first four games of the Premier League season.
Yet, according to Jorginho, Arsenal is not letting Haaland’s exploits overshadow their own preparations.
Jorginho shared with reporters that rather than letting Haaland’s record get into their heads, Arsenal players are treating it with a sense of humor.
“Erling scoring again, it’s starting to make us laugh!” he said.
“We watch all the games because we love football, but we don’t let it affect us. We focus on ourselves and what we need to do.”
The Gunners’ midfield maestro emphasized the importance of concentrating on their own game plan, insisting that the team is united and resolute.
The upcoming showdown between Arsenal and City will feature the league’s top scorers against one of the tightest defenses.
Arsenal has conceded just one goal in their opening four matches, a testament to their solid backline.
Jorginho is confident in Arsenal’s approach, stating that the team’s mentality is key.
“We need to win every game if we want to achieve big things,” he affirmed.
“We are believing in what we’re doing and working hard to keep improving.”
Arsenal’s defense will face its toughest test yet against Haaland and City’s formidable attack.
However, Jorginho’s words reflect a calm yet determined attitude in the Arsenal camp, as they prepare for what promises to be a thrilling encounter at the Etihad.
