Not only Ozil keeps Arsenal up
It’s true that Ozil had an average performance agaist Newcastle United. No goals, no assists, Ozil disappointed many Fantasy Premier League player.
But Arsenal won the game and cemented the leader at the Premier League. What can we learn from that? They doesn’t depend on one or two players any more.
Many years ago, the Gooners are well known as the one - man team. In 2013 - 2014 season, Ozil was their soul, their true leader.
In 2014 - 2015 season, it was Alexis Sanchez, and we call them Alexisernal that time.
This season, when Sanchez injured, many Arsenal supporters are afraid that their team will fall behind others clubs like Manchester City and Manchester United.
But this season, Arsenal still won even Sanchez rules out for weeks.
The defeat in Southampton’s St Mary was just an accident. They has been flying with Ozil’s wing.
But when Ozil couldn’t play with 100 per cent of his strength, Arsenal still have others key players.
The firs one is Czech’s goal keeper Petr Cech. It was the former Chelsea player improved the defend skills.
Having been playing in one of the best defend club in England, Cech has decent experiences to share with Arsenal players.
No doubt that in Cech accounts for half of Arsenal streng.
“On a day when the Gunners were largely off colour, Cech set a platform that meant Arsenal only needed to score once to win, with Laurent Koscielny stabbing in the winner from close range in the 72nd minute.” - Goal wrote on Saturday.
A lesser goalkeeper like David Ospina or Wojciech Szczesny would surely have conceded one of those chances, but Cech is remarkable for his consistency as much as anything else.
Many months ago Terry said Cech could save15 points to his team. That was absolutely true. Imagine what Arsenal will be if they have 15 points ? They wil be champions…
