DBasia.news – The duel away against Tottenham on Sunday (6/12/2020) tomorrow could be the most important match for Arsenal this season. The Gunners must win to actually start the season in domestic competition.
Arsenal and Tottenham’s conditions are much different. Arsenal stumbled in the first 10 matches, now stuck in 14th place in the standings with 13 points.
The Spurs are much different. Jose Mourinho has led his team to the top of the table with 21 points, is more stable and is definitely sharper in front of goal.
Arsenal are currently experiencing bad momentum in the Premier League. Pasuknn Mikel Arteta has only won one win in the last six games and has only scored two goals in that period.
Arsenal desperately need a win to stop momentum and get back on their feet, and the match against Spurs is the perfect stage for that – at least according to striker and captain, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
“I’m looking forward to it. I think this is the game we have to see as our turning point this season. Is there anything better than the derby?” Aubameyang said on Arsenal’s official website.
“I think if we win this match, maybe all the players can change their mindset.”
Apart from the three points question, for Aubameyang what is more important is about the player’s mentality. The victory over city rivals will be much more meaningful and can boost the condition of the players.
“And yes, as I said this match could be our turning point this season, there’s nothing better than a derby to do that,” continued Aubameyang.
“The mentality of all the players will be lifted if we can win this match.”
Aubameyang can be confident, but at the same time he also recognizes the strength of the Spurs. The match will be tough, Arsenal must unleash their best potential.
“We know the game will be difficult, to be honest at the moment they are playing well,” continued Aubameyang.
“But we have to focus on our game, on how we want to play this match. So it’s about us, whether we want to win or not.”
“So we can’t wait to welcome this match and we will try to give our all to win and change the situation,” he said.
