Arsenal fans will be pleased to know Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has not completely written off the club’s managerial scenario.
In fact, the Gabon international believes interim boss, Freddie Ljungberg can deliver “something special” in the coming weeks.
Aubameyang struck twice in Ljungberg’s first game in charge against Norwich City. The Gunners failed to end their winless run but looked far more motivated than they did under Unai Emery.
“He can give us something special,” the 30-year-old said. “If I’m not wrong he was part of the Invincibles. His career speaks for itself. We will try to follow him and give the best for him. Everybody is respectful of Freddie. He played for Arsenal, he knows as a player how we feel.
“It’s interesting to have him. We had only one session with him, maybe two for those guys who didn’t play on Thursday. We will see this week what is going to happen. For me personally I think it’s good for us. He played for Arsenal and he has this in his heart.”
“We have positive things to take,” he said. “We didn’t play bad, we played good. We have to maybe be cleverer in the transition, maybe make some fouls. That’s part of the game to not concede goals.
“I think the mood is always good. We try to find more confidence in winning games. We try our best. We know it was something special because Unai Emery was sacked. Now we have Freddie and we’re all focused on one thing, to get back to winning ways. We did not play a perfect game but we did a good job and we’ll try to win the next one.”
