Hi, welcome to AFCV. I've got Sharlene with me after
a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
Simple question to start. Disappointed or happy with the result today?
Do you know what? I'm satisfied with the team
because we went out there, we put out a good performance.
I feel like the scoreline shouldn't have been too all.
We should have really have won that game.
OK, so you're disappointed then?
No, but I'm not disappointed at the same time.
It's a bit of a conflict here.
The reason I say that is, listen, first of all,
I just want to say big up to Eze. Great to see him.
get on the score sheet and it seems like every time we make
a substitution the player that gets
subbed on just comes on and scores a goal
so anytime we want to go we just need to make that
a sub that's that's that's a good point
and i think that's credit to i guess the manager you
give michael i'll take all that credit
then yeah absolutely obviously in the circumstances today
um it was obviously because Bakayo Saka got
injured quite early on in the game which is
heartbreaking because you know he's had that hamstring injury prior
which has been going on
for so long it seems
and yeah
and it looked like
he was getting off
to a good start
he was looking kind of
bright, vibrant
geared up for this game
so to see him go down
injured
which is looking like
maybe he's quad
could be quite a while
yeah quad injury
SB said he had it
he was out for nine weeks
oh gosh
this is not what
we want to be hearing
but you know
we just have to deal
with the situation
and we've got other
players who can
you know
play
who do you want to see there
like
it does breed opportunity
for other players
When you see your star boy go down,
there's obviously the idea of when Nani can play there,
Max may now get more minutes, he may get an opportunity.
What would you do if you were the manager going forward then?
Do you know, obviously we've been kind of using Nani Madueke
on the left-hand side.
But I mean, we've got Eze who could play on the left.
So we have got options.
And then we've still got Zolis to come back.
But I am not scared to play Max Dalman.
Max Dalman is absolutely phenomenal.
He's so confident.
He gets on the pitch and he's just absolutely fearless.
I think the fact that he's so young
I feel like he's just kind of being protected
but when we see him out there
he's just expressing himself
and he's making things happen
so I say do you know what
play Max Dalman
I like that
protect him from what
young and fearless
exactly
if he's going to get us results
then you know
can I close by asking you about Eze then
because you've made a point to say
big up Eze today
do you feel like
he's been under a lot of pressure
do you think there's been a lot of criticism
on his time at Arsenal
And do you think he needs to get that same sort of energy
in praise from the performance cells?
He got the important goal.
Yeah, absolutely.
I feel like everyone's been getting on to Eze, you know,
sort of making out like he's not good enough
when we all know there is a great player in there.
And on the flip side, if he's not getting consistent game time,
you know, he's been on the bench.
Like, what do you expect him to do?
You know, and it's hard sometimes when you get subbed on
and, you know, you've got to...
Sometimes he might be getting subbed on in what,
like the last 10 minutes or whatever.
Sometimes, depending on what time you're getting subbed on
in the game
it's quite difficult
to make an impact
on the game
so I feel like
there's been so much
speculation over him
so it's nice to see him
big Champions League
night at the
Allianz Arena
go out there
and get a goal
there you go
I know that was
the final question
but you're not scared
of anyone in Europe
are you?
no not at all
come on we're
Arsenal Football Club
listen this is our year
to win the Champions League
we ain't fearing no one
bring every opposition
we're going to get
that result
come on
Thank
you.
