Aston Villa's Jack Grealish facing anxious wait to see if he will be given senior team recall

Kampusbet  ~   "  Aston Villa's Jack Grealish facing anxious wait to see if he will be given senior team recall "

Agen MaxbeT  ~    Jack Grealish will learn on Tuesday if he is line for a recall for bottom club Aston Villa at Southampton this weekend.

The starlet, 20, was banished to the club's development squad by new boss Remi Garde after going out drinking following Villa's 4-0 thrashing at Everton, where he was subbed.

The midfielder trained with the club's kids last week and was omitted from their latest loss at home to Watford.

But Grealish was also left out of Villa's U21 game on Monday night at home to Blackburn Rovers.

And MirrorSport understands Garde is due to speak to Grealish on Tuesday when the first team return to training. 

Bandar Judi Online MaxbeT  ~   The squad were in on Sunday after the Watford loss but Grealish attended a Junior Villains fan event at Dudley Zoo instead.

The England prospect took his parents and sisters to the zoo and spent over an hour posing for photographs and signing autographs.

He is now waiting to learn if he will be available for Garde's squad this weekend.

Adama Traore, signed from Barcelona in the summer for £7million, did little to push his first team prospects with the U21s on Monday.

He showed pace and skill but little end product against Rovers.

Liverpool and Everton to battle it out for Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland

Kampusbet  ~    " Liverpool and Everton to battle it out for Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland "

Agen Klik4D  ~   Mersey rivals Liverpool and Everton are ready for a transfer tug-of-war for Stoke keeper Jack Butland, writes Steve Bates in the Sunday People. 

Both Merseyside clubs have identified the 22-year-old England star as the keeper they want - even though the youngster could cost up to a staggering £17million next summer. 

That's the kind of valuation Stoke are believed ready to slap on Butland who is being tipped for the very top after several outstanding early season performances for Mark Hughes' stars. 

Anfield and Goodison scouts have been watching Butland regularly - and it's thought both clubs are ready to bid for the six foot five inch Bristol-born star. 

Butland cost Stoke a reported £3.5million when he joined from Birmingham in 2013. 

And he's held in such high esteem at the Britannia Stadium Hughes allowed Asmir Begovic to join Chelsea last summer and promoted Butland. 

And since bursting into the first team and becoming England number two to Joe Hart this season, his value has soared

Bandar Judi Online Klik4D  ~    Everton boss Roberto Martinez sees Butland as the long-term replacement for current number one Tim Howard who will be 37 next March. 

And although the fee would be a massive outlay for a young inexperienced goalkeeper Everton are ready to splash the cash with many coaches in the game believing Butland is going to be a major star. 

With Chelsea set to return for Everton's £35million-rated England defender John Stones in the summer and Premier League club's set to profit from the new £5.5billion TV deal which kicks in next season, the Toffees could easily afford to spend big on Butland. 

So too could Liverpool who are expected to hand new boss Jurgen Klopp funds to re-shape the squad in the summer. 

Some critics view current Kop keeper Simon Mignolet as a weak link and the Belgian star - signed from Sunderland for £9million two years ago - was at fault for Bordeaux's goal in Liverpool's 2-1 Europa League win in midweek. 

But Stoke have ambition themselves and although they don't have the pedigree of the Mersey rivals Potters boss Hughes will fight hard to keep Butland on board.

Arsenal's Mathieu Flamini admits he has a point to prove to the fans during Francis Coquelin injury lay-off

Kampusbet  ~    " Arsenal's Mathieu Flamini admits he has a point to prove to the fans during Francis Coquelin injury lay-off  "

Agen TangKasneT  ~    Mathieu Flamini admits he must prove himself all over again to Arsenal fans.

The Gunners could not even give the midfielder away last summer as he refused to join Galatasaray on a free transfer.

But now the Frenchman has been given a second – some would say third – chance to re-establish himself as the team’s anchorman for the next three months during Francis Coquelin’s injury absence.

Flamini, now 31, walked out on Arsenal in 2008 to join AC Milan then rejoined two years ago, but has failed to hold down a regular place.

He said: “I have a chance to be back in the team and I will try to prove every game that I can be in the team. The season is always long, so it’s part of the game. 

"Sometimes you have to accept being on the bench and sometimes you get a chance to prove you can still play for Arsenal.

“If you don’t play every week for an athlete, it’s not easy because the more games you have in your legs the better you become. You gain in confidence and you become better physically, so the possibility to play game after game is going to be good for me.”

Flamini’s chance has come because of Arsenal’s crippling injury list which has ruled out Coquelin, Mikel Arteta, Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott, Danny Welbeck and Tomas Rosicky.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  ~    Gunners boss Arsene Wenger can see some light at the end of the tunnel with fit-again Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain set to return to the bench at Norwich on Sunday.

And Flamini believes Arsenal can keep their season alive by completing their Champions League fightback by winning at Olympiakos as well as maintaining a title challenge.

The Gunners found themselves in a similar situation last season when they had to win 3-0 at Monaco after a disastrous first leg defeat and just missed out.

But Flamini, who helped them beat Dinamo Zagreb to set up a final day showdown in Athens on December 9, believes they can pull it off this time round.

He added: “We know we must go to Olympiakos and win with a two-goal difference. It's not going to be easy, but I think we have the quality to do it.

“Obviously we can do it, but also it’s not going to be easy because it is a good team and it is going to be a great atmosphere over there, but I think we have the team spirit to do it.

“It’s important to learn from our mistakes. We made a similar mistake last year with Monaco, but we have learned from it and we must make sure not to do the same this year.

“This team has an enormous potential. The quality is very impressive and also we have a big squad which is giving us the possibility to play every single game in the Premier League, Champions league and the cup competitions.

“I think there is a huge potential, now we have to demonstrate it on the pitch.”

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney wanted to become the face of Chinese football - report

Kampusbet  ~    Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney wanted to become the face of Chinese football - report

Agen Casin()  ~   Manchester United star Wayne Rooney is wanted as the face of a revamped Chinese Super League. 

The England skipper, 30, has reportedly been the subject of an approach, despite still having three years left on his deal at Old Trafford, reports the Sun.

 

But fresh from a new £830million TV deal, the CSL are reportedly eyeing a bona-fide world superstar to lead the league into a new era.

The hope is that a superstar like Rooney, would tempt others to do likewise.

The Chinese government have been making a major effort to raise football's profile across the country, with a number of former Premier League .

Bandar Judi Online Casin()  ~   Players - including Robinho, Tim Cahill and Demba Ba already plying their trade in the league.

Ex-England boss Sven Goran Eriksson is also working in China as manager of Shanghai SIPG, while ex-Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari is coach of champions Guangzhou Evergrande. 

Rooney missed Man United's 2-1 win over Watford at the weekend through illness and hasn't been at his best so far this season, scoring just twice in 11 Premier League games. 

However his star continues to shine bright on the world stage while it's said that his advisors are considering all options ahead of what would likely be his final major contract.

Real Madrid were too attacking, claims Rafa Benitez after Barcelona run riot at the Bernabeu

Kampusbet  ~    Real Madrid were too attacking, claims Rafa Benitez after Barcelona run riot at the Bernabeu

Agen SbobeT  ~   Real Madrid were humiliated at home to Barcelona because they tried to be too attacking, according to Rafa Benitez.

Barcelona stormed to a 4-0 win at the Bernabeu. Luis Suarez scored a superb brace while Neymar and Andres Iniesta also found the back of the net in an electrifying attacking display. 

Benitez spent the international break facing criticism from all quarters for his perceived defensive style of play. And if the Saturday's clasico was supposed to prove his team knew how to entertain, then it was a ploy that failed miserably. 

“We wanted to attack and win back the ball high up the field but it didn’t come off,” he said.

“We’ve made mistakes and against a team like Barca you pay for those dearly.

We’re all responsible for it not going well, now we look for unity in the group and to try and sort this out in the next game."

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  ~   Some fans felt Benitez had been forced into picking an attacking line-up, selecting the players that Florentino Perez wanted to see in action. Benitez, though, rejected such claims.

“I try to manage the squad as best as possible," he added.

“I picked players with the quality to do better than we did.”

He continued: “When you lose in this way there is a worry as to how the players will react. We’ve paid for our mistakes.

“At half-time they were angry and at the end of the game there was little to say.

“I won’t talk about a lack of desire in my team. In the second half we’ve started really well we just lacked a reaction.”

Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp insists he knows NOTHING about how Manchester City will line up in Saturday clash

Kampusbet  ~    Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp insists he knows NOTHING about how Manchester City will line up in Saturday clash 

 

 

 

 

Agen MaxbeT  ~    Jurgen Klopp has admitted he is totally in the dark about Manchester City ahead of this weekend's showdown at the Etihad.

Premier League leaders City’s preparations for the season-defining clash have been shrouded in secrecy – with Liverpool boss Klopp joking that their training ground is “deep in a forest”.

Crucially, the Reds' new manager has no idea whether to plan for a comeback by City's star striker Sergio Aguero, who scored five goals in a stunning 20-minute spell against Newcastle in his last outing before a hamstring injury that has kept him out for a month.

Klopp said: “The difference between Liverpool and City is that at this moment we know nothing about City because their training ground seems to be deep in a forest.

“I have never been there and we know nothing! We don’t know about Aguero, we don’t know about Silva [midfielder David, who also hasn't played since the win over Newcastle].

 We don’t know about Bony [striker Wilfried, who went off injured in the first half of City's last game before the international break], and so on.

“Nothing.

"It makes it interesting. We are prepared to play against them with all these players or without these players. We will be prepared.”

Klopp tried some mind games of his own when he revealed that England striker Daniel Sturridge is fit again, but refused to reveal whether he would be involved against his first pro club.

Bandar Judi Online MaxbeT  ~   Sturridge, the Reds’ main goal threat, has endured a five-week lay off with a minor knee injury.

Like Aguero, Sturridge has declared himself “fit and ready” to play, but Klopp said on Thursday: “He is as fit as he can be after this long break.

 Of course, he is not at 100 per cent and now we have to see. I have to think about it.

“His quality is outstanding, but everyone needs training.

"Today was the third full exercise with the team after five weeks' break. As a striker sometimes, five minutes are enough. We need to see.”

Sturridge has been back in full training with the first team squad this week but, given his injury record, his manager admitted it would be a gamble to play him.

Klopp said: “The problem with Daniel’s quality is it is obvious. When you see it in training you think, ‘Right. Nice.’ But we have to think about it.

“He has to train, that is for sure, because he has had four and a half weeks out — I am not sure Liverpool has that long a break in the summer.

"So for four and a half weeks he couldn’t train. He wasn’t cycling or running. But because he is such a skilled guy, after a few minutes you think, ‘Maybe we should...’

"Everyone wants to see more of him on the pitch, but we have to find the right balance and we will see.”

Klopp’s words will have left his opposite number Manuel Pellegrini with exactly the same questions as those faced by Liverpool — though it would be no surprise to see both star strikers on the subs' benches for a game that could define the visitors’ top four ambitions this season.

Lionel Messi trains with his Barcelona team-mates ahead of Saturday's crunch clash with Real Madrid

Kampusbet  ~     Lionel Messi trains with his Barcelona team-mates ahead of Saturday's crunch clash with Real Madrid

Agen Klik4D  ~    Barcelona have been handed a massive boost ahead of their showdown with Real Madrid after Lionel Messi returned to training.


The Argentine has been absent since going off during a win over Las Palmas in September, but has stepped up his recovery.

And Messi looks like he is winning his fight to be ready for the trip to the Bernabeu after joining in full training on Monday.

Barca travel to Real Madrid next Saturday to contest the first El Clasico of the season, sitting three points clear of their rivals at the top of La Liga.

Luis Suarez and Neymar have stepped up in Messi's absence, but Adriano thinks the number 10 could be unleashed on Los Blancos.




Bandar Judi Online Klik4D  ~    "He is recovering very well, doing everything to get to the game and to have him in the team changes a lot," he told Mundo Deportivo.

"There's a difference when he plays or doesn't, but in his absence we've managed to come together and move forward in matches.

"Every day he's been the Leo we're accustomed to: laughing, joking, and doing things with confidence.

"Would I put money on him playing in the Clasico? Hopefully, yes."

Paris attacks: Roy Hodgson sends condolences in heartfelt statement ahead of England vs France

Kampusbet  -    Paris attacks: Roy Hodgson sends condolences in heartfelt statement ahead of England vs France 

 

 

 

 

Agen TangKasneT   ~    Roy Hodgson has issued a statement on behalf of the England team ahead of their friendly with France on Tuesday. 

Over 100 people have been killed in multiple attacks in the French capital.

It was thought Tuesday's match at Wembley would be cancelled as a result but it is now set to go ahead as planned.

And Three Lions boss Hodgson has issued a statement - via the FA website. 

"On behalf of the England coaching staff and players, I would like to pass on our heartfelt condolences to the French nation at this extremely difficult time," he said.

"The events in Paris have left us all shocked and we are thinking of the victims, their loved ones and all those affected by these tragic events.

“Shortly after the match last night the FA contacted the FFF to express our deep sympathy and ask if they wanted to go ahead with Tuesday’s scheduled game at Wembley Stadium.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT   ~   “Today the FFF has informed us they would still like to play the fixture. We respect that decision and will prepare accordingly – both on and off the pitch.

The match will be a serious occasion but one that shows that the football world is united against these atrocities.

“I’m sure the England team and our fans will play their part and show solidarity with our French friends on Tuesday evening and provide support for both teams during this difficult time.”

Explosions could also be heard during France's friendly with Germany at the Stade de France where fans were told to gather on the pitch after the game had finished. 

French police later confirmed there were two suicide attacks and one bombing near the Stade de France, killing three people.

Man United loan star Adnan Januzaj will not leave Borussia Dortmund early, says sporting director

Kampusbet  -    Man United loan star Adnan Januzaj will not leave Borussia Dortmund early, says sporting director

Agen Casin()  ~    Borussia Dortmund will not be sending Adnan Januzaj back to Manchester United early, the club's sporting director has said. 

Januzaj is currently on a season-long loan at the German club but has fallen out-of-favour with manager Thomas Tuchel.

The Belgian, 20, has already netted for United this season and again scored less than 20 minutes into his first game for Thomas Tuchel's side, a friendly against St. Pauli, report the Manchester Evening News.

But Januzaj has largely been restricted to appearances in the Europa League and German Cup to impress. He is yet to start a Bundesliga game and has only occasionally come on off the bench in those games.

Bandar Judi Online Casin()  ~   The struggle to break into the team has led to suggestions Januzaj's loan could be cut short. But sporting director Michael Zorc has set the issue straight.

"That's currently not an issue," he told Kicker.

Part of the problem for Januzaj has been just how well others are performing under Tuchel, with Dortmund sitting in second place, five points behind Bayern and eight points clear of Wolfsburg in third.

"We play an extraordinary season, and the others do an incredible job," said Zorc. "There is no reason to bench them."

Gareth Southgate backs England Under-21s to extend perfect qualifying start despite four key absentees

Kampusbet  -     Gareth Southgate backs England Under-21s to extend perfect qualifying start despite four key absentees

Agen SbobeT  -   Gareth Southgate says England Under-21s can extend their perfect start to Euro 2017 qualifying despite his squad being hit hard.

Southgate's Young Lions take on Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo on Thursday looking to maintain their 100 record following wins against Norway and Kazakhstan.

But they will face the Bosnians without Eric Dier, who has joined up with Roy Hodgson’s senior squad, and the injured trio of Joe Gomez, Nathan Redmond and Jordon Ibe.

They return home to take on Switzerland in Brighton on Monday with Southgate targeting maximum points.

“It’s a good opportunity, because if we can win the two matches we control the group,” said Southgate.

“It will be two difficult tests and we’ve lost a few players but it’s a good opportunity for us to have a look at some other players, which is always exciting to see how they perform and how they step up.

“They are two good challenges for different reasons.

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  -   “Any away game is difficult and Bosnia have had poor results in the group but were much better when they played Switzerland last time, so I’m expecting a tougher test there.

“And Switzerland are a good side so that will be a really good game of football down at Brighton.

We’re a team in the early stages of growing and discovering itself so we can’t afford to take anything for granted.

“Most of them are new to the environment and they want to show what they can do.

“It’s a challenge as a team and a group but it’s a great opportunity for individuals.

“It’s a great opportunity for the lads who have gone with the seniors so we will have to make changes to the starting team but hopefully the work we’ve done will stand us in good stead.”

Possible team (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Iorfa, Chambers, Browning, Targett; Baker, Ward-Prowse; Watmore, Loftus-Cheek, March; Akpom.

Liverpool starlet Jordon Ibe hoping to be the Reds' Robert Lewandowski under Jurgen Klopp

Kampusbet  -   Liverpool starlet Jordon Ibe hoping to be the Reds' Robert Lewandowski under Jurgen Klopp 

 

 

 

 

Agen MaxbeT  -    Jordon Ibe hopes Jurgen Klopp can do for him what he did for Robert Lewandowski.

Manager Klopp nurtured ­Lewandowski into one of Europe’s best strikers at Borussia Dortmund and Ibe says the German has a proven track record for developing young talent.

He hopes Klopp can also help him to the top and the Reds' new boss has started the teenage winger in three of Liverpool’s last four games.

Ibe, 19, has grabbed his chance by scoring his first goal for the club against Rubin Kazan last Thursday and was the Reds’ best player in Sunday’s defeat to Crystal Palace. 

He obviously did a great job at Borussia Dortmund,” said Ibe. “The fact that the young players he brought in were a big part of the success is very ­encouraging for guys like me.

“Of course, those youngsters at Dortmund didn’t just become a little bit better either – some of them, like Robert Lewandowski, have become players who are operating at the highest level in the ­Champions League. Hopefully he can help me and some of the lads here do the same.

I’m hoping my attributes – pace and strength and being able to go past people – will suit the way he wants to play and I can get some ­opportunities.”

Bandar Judi Online MaxbeT  -   Klopp clearly rates Ibe, who could miss England Under-21s’ Euro qualifiers against Bosnia and Switzerland through injury, and gave him a huge bear hug after his match-winning display against Kazan.

That performance was an important marker in the youngster’s development and he is beginning to fill the attacking void left by the sale of Raheem Sterling to Manchester City in the summer.

However, Liverpool’s new rising star admits he does find being recognised strange.

“It’s happened to me a few times,” he said. “Usually it’s kids rather than adults. I suppose kids are naturally more enthusiastic and will approach you and say hello.

If I saw a famous ­footballer, like David Beckham, I’d probably be star-struck, so for somebody to get excited about meeting me feels odd. It’s humbling and ­enjoyable. I know what it’s like to be a kid looking for an autograph, so I’m happy to stop and chat or have a photo.”

Ibe was not so happy after the loss to Palace and revealed the players were extremely frustrated to suffer their first loss under Klopp to end their 12-match unbeaten run.

“It was disappointing, everybody was angry,” he said. “We played all right and created chances, but it just didn’t happen. We’re just trying to build and keep the ­confidence in the team, we just need to keep it going.”

 

Jurgen Klopp's emotional pull is what makes him successful, says Liverpool's Emre Can

Kampusbet  -    Jurgen Klopp's emotional pull is what makes him successful, says Liverpool's Emre Can

Agen Klik4D  -   Emre Can believes Jurgen Klopp's emotion is what makes him a successful manager.

Can had previous experience of Klopp's methods before the German took over at Liverpool last month. 

Although he did not play under him, Can says that the intensity in which Borussia Dortmund played under him made them a very tough team to play against.

Liverpool fans will be hoping Anfield will be the venue for a similarly successful style of play in the coming months.

Can, who was undefeated against Klopp in Germany despite being impressed by Dortmund's mentality, believes his passion runs through to the players.

He told the Mail on Sunday: "I didn’t know him personally but obviously I saw him at work. As you can see, he is very emotional on the sidelines, it is why he is successful." 

Klopp's 'Gegenpressing' regime has not yet been fully incorporated into the Liverpool team - due to the frequency of fixtures.

Bandar Judi Online Klik4D  -   Since Klopp's arrival, Liverpool have played twice in the Europa League, as well as packing in the Premier League outings.

Can said: "It is a case of us not having had much time to train because there have been so many games. It has been similar training to the previous trainer [Brendan Rodgers]."

Can, 22, is not your average young adult due to his life at Liverpool.

The German international rarely heads out to pubs and clubs, but instead enjoys spending time at his Formby home with friends and family.

He explained: "It’s difficult to go out when there is a match every third day. There isn’t that much time, it’s either preparation or recovery, and I would rather spend my time with friends at home."

Liverpool players already buying into 'charismatic' Jurgen Klopp’s football philosophy at Anfield

Kampusbet  -    Liverpool players already buying into 'charismatic' Jurgen Klopp’s football philosophy at Anfield 

 

 

 

 

Agen TangKasneT  -   German Jurgen Klopp has already improved his top-four chasing Liverpool team... because the players have bought into the charismatic boss’ ideas.

That was the message coming from inside the Reds’ dressing room after they ­delivered a clear statement of intent over the past week.

Not only did Klopp engineer a spectacular win at Chelsea to boost the club’s top-four prospects, but they then followed up with a thoroughly professional win in Kazan to put ­Liverpool on the verge of Europa League qualification.

The German has enjoyed a six-game unbeaten run since arriving in England, and his players lined up on Friday to suggest it is no­ coincidence.

He is very charismatic, an impressive bloke who you know, as soon as you meet him, has presence,” said midfielder Joe Allen.

“Since day one, everyone has taken on board his ideas straight away – you could see the players took to it immediately. I get the vibe that he can help me and help other players individually.

“What is really promising is that’s the message you’re getting from all the lads really – they think he can help them, and they’ve got a part to play and that will make for a successful season.”

It is easy to see the affection Klopp generates in his players when he hugs them on the final whistle, with Europa League matchwinner Jordon Ibe the recipient of the best moment in Kazan, as Klopp shouted ‘Ibeeeeeee’ when embracing him.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  -   That warmth and togetherness clearly goes both ways as Ibe admits being around the former Borussia Dortmund chief is a real learning experience .

“He’s a great manager, I’m delighted to be working with him – he’s showing me new things in training so I’m learning,” Ibe said.

“Hopefully I can keep getting the experience I need and he can develop me into a good player. 

Everybody’s doing well in training and we’re just delighted as a group to be doing well now.”

Klopp has implemented important changes on the training ground.

A win over Crystal Palace on Sunday could move Liverpool onto the shoulders of the likes of Manchester United and the reason is simple – the Reds have much better defensive organisation.

Keeper Simon Mignolet, whose biggest fear in Russia was catching cold as he had nothing to do, ­appreciates the improved solidity in front of him.

“He has given the lads a lot of confidence and everyone knows what their job is– he is clear with his message,” the Belgium ­international said.

“Everyone is organised, everyone knows what they have to do and we don’t give anything away.”

Emmanuel Petit blasts Arsenal's lack of fighting spirit in Bayern Munich mauling

Kampusbet  -    Emmanuel Petit blasts Arsenal's lack of fighting spirit in Bayern Munich mauling 

 

 

 

 

Agen Sbo Casin() -   Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit bemoaned the lack of fighting spirit in the Gunners' ranks after their Champions League mauling at the hands of Bayern Munich.

Arsene Wenger's side were 3-0 down inside the first half on a nightmare evening at the Allianz Arena, and ended up on the wrong end of a 5-1 drubbing against the German champions.

Two goals from Thomas Muller, plus strikes from Robert Lewandowski, David Alaba and Arjen Robben heaped the misery on Arsenal on a humbling night on the continent. 

It leaves their chances of progression to the last 16 hanging by a thread, especially given Olympiakos' 2-1 victory over Dinamo Zagreb.

The Gunners must now win their last two games, and hope Bayern Munich beat the Greek outfit, as well as scoring at least two goals against them themselves. 

Bandar Judi Online Sbo Casin() -  Petit, speaking as an analyst on BT Sport following the game, was less than impressed with his ex-side's display. 

"It's always the same story with Arsenal," he said.

"When they are against the wall they show character. They were very good against Bayern (at home) and Manchester United.
 
"The reaction was great but it has to be like that all the time."

Arsenal must be 'intelligent' to get a result against Bayern Munich, says defender Gabriel Paulista

Kampusbet  -    Arsenal must be 'intelligent' to get a result against Bayern Munich, says defender Gabriel Paulista 

 

 

 

 

Agen SbobeT  -   Gabriel Paulista has called for his Arsenal team-mates to show their intelligence against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

The Gunners breathed new life into their dying Champions League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Pep Guardiola's German giants a couple of weeks ago.

 

They had lost their first two games to Dynamo Zagreb and Olympiacos and appeared to be hurtling out of the competition at the group stage before Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil struck.

That result gave Arsene Wenger's men a lifeline in the competition and they are determined not to blow their chances now. 

Gabriel said: "At home [against Bayern] we were able to impose ourselves a lot more. We attacked a bit more but I think when we play away, we also have to have a slightly different outlook. 

"That doesn't mean we'll spend the whole game defending. We're a big team, we're Arsenal and we need to attack because we need the result.

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  -  "But we need to attack with intelligence and make sure we don't suffer a defeat and complicate our situation for the rest of our competition.

"We feel more confident within the competition than after the first two games.

"We had two defeats and we felt a bit down but the group is very strong, so we managed to overcome that and we managed to recover against a great team that will probably fight to win the competition as well.

"With this victory, we managed to get up and running and realise that anything is possible in football, thanks to the confidence and ability of all the players."
