Arsenal’s new signing David Luiz has said that the defenders in the team cannot hide from criticism.
The claim comes on the back of the 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby where Arsenal were the better team overall but defensive lapses saw Spurs score two goals and deny Arsenal of a victory.
“I think it’s normal, in my all my career it has been like that, especially when you are a defender,” David Luiz told Sky Sports.
“Strikers never lose games unless they miss a penalty in the last minute. This is football.
“The defenders have to take responsibility and take this in a good way, in a humble way, to understand when we make a mistake and say that.
“I’m going to try to do my best, always. I think my game until the penalty at Liverpool was very good, especially for my first big game for Arsenal.”
“Today, even with pain, I played the whole game and tried to show this spirit until the very end,” he said.
“I am trying to improve with the team every single day and be mature to understand this kind of moment.”
