Bukayo Saka has made it clear that, despite his coaches’ best efforts to make the game “fun”, he still hates practicing set-pieces during Arsenal’s training session, calling it “fun”. “the worst thing”.
Following Saturday’s 5-0 win over Crystal Palace at the Emirates, the Arsenal star made this statement.
Even though his team were leading 3-0 after 59 minutes, Mikel Arteta decided not to rest the England international winger so Saka played the entire match without scoring or assisting.
After the match, Saka told TNT Sports, “Most of the games it felt like we were playing against a low block.” It’s a really physical league, the Premier League.
I’ll study it and try to figure out how to solve it, whether it’s passing, dribbling or finding space.
“I’m still trying and as a team we’re still doing well, even though it’s not easy.”
We work a lot with set pieces. It was the worst. Our coach, a fixture, tried to lighten the mood. We are progressing well and his methods are working.
Bukayo Saka has scored 6 goals and 7 assists this season
Today we wanted to correct our mistakes and keep a clean sheet because we lost the FA Cup mainly due to a set-piece. We are very happy to have scored two goals.
Since the previous three matches were all losses, this match is very important for both us and our supporters to regain momentum.
You want to be first when looking at the tournament standings. Being third, fourth or fifth is not what you want. That’s my personal feeling.
Saka said: “Yeah, I really believe that” when asked if Arsenal can now continue to challenge for the Premier League title and keep up with Manchester City and Liverpool.
Rest is essential. We are all looking forward to working hard until the end of the season.
“We will definitely use that to push for the Premier League and the Champions League next month,” the player said, “because losing the FA Cup really hurts me.”
