DBasia.news – After Unai Emery’s dismissal from the position of coach, Freddie Ljungberg was appointed as a temporary coach of Arsenal at this time. In the match against West Ham United, Ljungberg managed to bring Arsenal to their first victory on Tuesday (10/12) early morning Western Indonesian Time.
Arsenal won 3-1 at the London Stadium. Coming from behind by Angelo Ogbonna’s goal in the first half, the visitors managed to get up by scoring three consecutive goals through Gabriel Martinelli, Nicolas Pepe, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
After the match, Freddie Ljungberg immediately flattered his foster children. According to him, the players showed mental strength because they were able to get out of extreme pressure before and during the match.
“This victory is very meaningful for the players. They feel great pressure and you can see it in today’s performance. I can feel West Ham getting tired and our bait getting sharper,” Ljungberg told Sky Sports on Tuesday (12/10/2019).
“The players responded well in the first half. We tried to play and the players were truly outstanding in the second half. They worked very hard, that’s something we talked about,” he continued.
Furthermore, the coach appointed as Unai Emery’s successor admitted that these three points returned the confidence of the players. He also hopes to continue this momentum in the next match.
“You can see the players are relieved and how happy they are in the dressing room. We enjoyed the game today and we want to continue tomorrow. We must maintain this moment,” concluded Ljungberg.
