Arsenal must acknowledge the strength of Wolverhampton when humiliated with a score of 1-3 in the 35th week of the Premier League 2018/19, Thursday (25/4) early morning hrs. Arsenal’s game is so bad and it deserves to lose.
How come, statistics noted Arsenal could not make a single shot on target in the first round. They conceded just three goals in the first 45 minutes and looked lethargic at halftime.
Arsenal boss Unai Emery cannot argue much about the defeat. He can only admit Arsenal did appear less than the maximum and the defeat they deserve.
Not only that, Emery also did not hesitate to praise the quality of Wolves.
Emery could not argue, he admitted Arsenal played worse so they could not record even one shot on target in the first round. For him, Arsenal were helpless against the neat game of Wolves.
“They are a very good team, with a good structure. Defensively, they are very strong, and they have a very good season because they also have good players,” open Emery on Arsenal’s official website.
“We did not perform well enough in the final third of the attack, there were also differences in scores in the first half. We tried, but we failed to maximize the chances of scoring.”
Furthermore, Emery claimed the defeat occurred because Arsenal players who lost their composure so conceded three goals. Arsenal are frantic and can’t maintain their tactics, and that’s why Wolves win.
“I think one reason is because they played very well defensively. We should have been able to play more calmly and we already knew that this match would be very difficult.”
“However, we must respect them with their moments and stay calm for 90 minutes, applying our ideas,” he continued.
“Really, they are better than us and they work and play stronger in their tactics and defeat us,” he said.
