In the UEFA Conference League, we play Noah at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night. In the final Premier League match before international football takes center stage, Arsenal travels across London for a thrilling derby. Today’s training started in the gym, as is customary.
Moises Caicedo was our hero in the tense draw at Manchester United. After we fell behind, the Ecuadorian’s incredible volley gave us a point, and he said he was thrilled to have contributed so significantly in the closing third.
“I don’t score many goals, so sometimes my teammates make fun of me, but my job is just to help the team in any way I can,” Caicedo said.
This time, we needed to score a goal to gain a point. We didn’t lose the game, therefore I’m overjoyed about the equalizer and goal. It was crucial for the group.Levi Colwill commended the team’s response and, of course, Caicedo’s role after we fell behind at Old Trafford for less than five minutes.
He stated, “There are two ways to respond: you either put your head down or you go for it and try to score the equalizing goal, which we obviously did.”
“Moi is a fantastic player, and we have so many of them that they can work their magic when you’re having trouble in a game or aren’t scoring.”One of those players is Christopher Nkunku, a French forward who will be looking to maintain his stellar Conference League record.
Nkunku has scored in all four of our European games this season, including our play-off matchup with Servette. On Thursday, maybe, we will be able to see his balloon once more!Training had a playful component to go along with the physical activities and competition, and a game of tag made the players happy.
In order to make their last preparations for the Noah match the following evening, the players will resume training on Wednesday.
