Arsenal Slumped, Pepe: Don’t Blame Ljungberg

DBasia.news –  Arsenal winger, Nicolas Pepe, assessed the current deterioration of Arsenal is not the fault of Freddie Ljungberg. He also demanded the Gunners squad to immediately revive.

Arsenal did not perform better than last season. As a consequence, Unai Emery was dismissed of the managerial role.

Now Arsenal are still being handled by the interim manager, Freddie Ljungberg. It is unclear when the Gunners will appoint a permanent manager. It is also currently unclear where Arsenal will head to. According to Nicolas Pepe, the fall of Arsenal at the moment is not Ljungberg’s fault alone.

“Freddie tried hard, he talked to us, but nothing has changed much in terms of results. “This is our responsibility for the players, not the coaches,” Nicolas Pepe said at Soccerway.

“Freddie is close to us because he was a player. He knew how we felt so that it was easier for us to talk to him. We will continue to work hard to make things better and win again. “

“We are not bothered by the managerial situations. I have a similar situation in Lille which has five different head coaches in 2017 and we keep going. With hard work, it will get better with Freddie or someone else. “

“We players have to do better quickly. We only won one match from the last 12 matches. That’s not enough, we are Arsenal. This is about us, not coaches or anything. We have to rise quickly, starting against Everton, “Nicolas Pepe added.
