Granite Xhaka Unai Emery Denounced defense

Arsenal manager Unai Emery offers a new defense against Granit Xhaka. Emery insisted that Xhaka was eligible to become Arsenal's captain.

In this season, Arsenal have a new captain. Emery said the Gunners armband after Granit Xhaka's previous captain, Laurent Koscielny moved to France.

So far, many Arsenal fans have refused the appointment as captain of Xhaka Arsenal. 26-year-old midfielder was considered not good enough to wear the armband, mainly because of the habit of making blunders.

Emery himself insisted that Xhaka was the best choice for his team. "We often talk about mistakes, but we also try to learn mistakes, try to correct them," Emery said Sportsmole.
Emery himself asked all parties not to exaggerate Xhaka's mistakes.
He said that it was natural when a player made a mistake when they defended a team.

"I think every player must have made mistakes, and mistakes are excessive because mistakes have a big impact on the team. But I don't want to think, because I focus on things that are positive and good performance."

Emery believes Xhaka bothered to wear the Arsenal captain's armband. He mentioned that the midfielder has a strong character to lead his team-mates.

"Xhaka has a strong character and is a very important player for us."
"He played very well against Tottenham, and yes, he made mistakes that barely punished us. He knows his mistakes and is trying to improve his game so that mistakes don't happen again." He insisted.

Arsenal failed to win the match again in the fifth EPL week of the season.
Having a 2-0 lead at Watford, Arsenal must return to North London by one point after the hosts equalized 2-2.
