Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has provided a glimpse into the team’s meticulous preparation for set pieces, after the Gunners once again found success from dead-ball situations in their 2-0 Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain.
Saka, who has been a key figure in Arsenal’s success this season, was reluctant to reveal all the secrets behind their set-piece mastery, but he did confirm the dedication and attention to detail involved.
“I don’t want to give you too much information,” Saka said with a smile, “but we do work a lot on set pieces, and it is no coincidence for me that we scored again tonight.”
The Gunners have consistently demonstrated their ability to capitalize on set pieces this season, and their success in this area is a testament to their hard work and commitment.
The win against PSG was a testament to the team’s ability to find success in different ways, which is a key indicator of a team that is developing and growing. “There is a lot of hunger in my belly,” Saka said when asked about his personal ambitions. “I have been a runner-up a lot, and this season I want to win.”
The victory over PSG was another significant step for Arsenal in their quest to challenge for major trophies. The team currently sits in 3rd place in the Premier League and is now off to a strong start in the new Champions League format, where the top eight teams automatically qualify for the round of 16.
Saka and his Arsenal teammates will be looking to maintain this momentum as they face Southampton in their next Premier League match.
