Prior of Arsenal’s Europa League round of 16 second leg against Sporting CP this evening at Emirates Stadium, Mikel Arteta has been putting his team through its paces.
This evening, Arsenal will host Sporting CP at the Emirates Stadium in an attempt to advance to the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals.
The first leg ended in a 2-2 draw for the north Londoners at Estadio Jose Alvalade. Goncalo Ignacio and Paulinho cancelled out William Saliba’s opening goal, and Hidemasa Morita’s bizarre own goal sealed the victory. Mikel Arteta has been putting his team through their paces at the club’s London Coney training base in advance of the second game.
With less than three months remaining in the season, Arsenal leads the Premier League for many reasons, chief among them being the high morale among the players. This was the same session on Wednesday.
the players were observed to be in a terrific mood during an exercise when they were competing against each other to see who could react the fastest. when youngster catalin cirjan overcame bukayo saka in the final round, the players let out a chorus of shouts. when the romanian-born midfielder defeated saka, players like thomas partey, oleksandr zinchenko, and gabriel martinelli approached cirjan and cheered him on.
