Kieran Gibbs has said that his team Arsenal must make sure that it doesn’t become the victim of upsets in the remaining part of the ongoing season.
There have been a lot of upsets pulled off by the minor teams in the league this season. So, Gibb’s concern is really understandable.
With just about 4 months remaining in the season, the Gunners are at the top of the league table and are in with a huge chance to become the English top flight champions again after a long gap. But, a couple of teams i.e. Chelsea and Manchester City are breathing down their neck. These two teams are just a point or two away from Arsenal.
The last time that Arsenal had lifted the Premier League trophy was about 10 years back in 2004. Their performance that season was unbelievable as they hadn’t been defeated even once.
When Gibbs’ was asked about Arsenal’s chances of winning the league, he said, “We have got the belief that we can do it. Being placed at the top in January is really a big positive. But, the important thing is not to relax. The results of some of the league matches this season have been absolutely ridiculous. So, anything can happen.”
The main reason why Arsenal is suddenly looking one of the best sides in England is that they made a smart signing last summer. They brought in the German international Mesut Ozil who has proved to be sensational for them. In almost every game that he has played, he has produced superb midfield performances.
When asked about Ozil’s signing, Gibbs said, “He had been doing the same thing in Spain for Real Madrid. He is a class act and his arrival has certainly given the squad a bit of a boost.”
