Granite Xhaka: Arsenal Are Too Cowardly When Against Watford

A 2-2 draw at Arsenal Watford gathered on Sunday (09/15/2019) making Unai Emery Manager and captain Granit Xhaka disagree. These differences, especially in the aspect of the second half goal to run two opponents.

After the match, Granit Xhaka condemned Arsenal's performance in the second half. He considered the team to appear for the Gunners full of fear. Thus, opponents 2-0 can not be maintained and forced a draw.

"Nobody wants the ball. In the end, we are very happy to win the point," Granit Xhaka said after the match.

The Swiss national team players also said: "We didn't show our game in the second half. We were too scared."

Granite Xhaka prospect is unfounded. In the second half, they were overwhelmed by Watford serving the attack. A total of 23 shots were fired opponents throughout the second half. In fact, in the first half, only eight shots, they were able to tighten.

Responding to biased comments, Unai Emery's director somewhat disagreed. He felt that Granit Xhaka's personal feelings, not the collective team. According to him, the game was bad in the second half because of a little excessive anxiety.

"Maybe it's a very individual feeling. I think that, in football, you have to be afraid. You have to seize the moment as an experience, both individually and collectively," Unai Emery was quoted as saying on the official Arsenal website.

The former Paris Saint-Germain coach added, "But I can't really understand the feelings of the players. Sometimes when boredom is a feeling of doubt, it is possible to get good results with our game plan."

Unai Emery, a 2-2 draw at home to Watford must be a lesson for Granit Xhaka et al. "We have to strengthen our mentality. Not only for the players, but we all have. We have to find the way, work and improve things if the lack of the second half in the last round occurs," he said.
