Arsenal head coach, Unai Emery, has explained the steps he took to develop Alex iwobi’s game this season.
The 22-year-old has been in a superlative form for the Gunners this season and was voted man-of-the-match in against Leicester City two weeks ago.
“He is very young and I think he played here with improving moments in his career. We need to also push him more to improve because he has the quality and the capacity.
“The first thing is with the behaviour in training, finding ways to improve every day. And then, also to give him what he can improve tactically, individually.
“I think a lot of it is confidence, every player needs confidence. Not only with playing but when we are together and we are here. I want every player to feel this confidence but also with a very big demand from us and on himself also to work every day.
Emery further added that he has challenged Iwobi to keep improving his game despite the accolades that he has been receiving.
“It’s try, try, try and try. If you are doing a good action individually or not, continue with the confidence to try another, to try again,” Emery added.
“After that, good commitment every day, good behaviour every day and feel together with your team and respect decisions and respect your teammates.
“There is only one thing I know, work. You are working, you are winning this confidence every day, then your quality is there to be better in each match.”
The Spaniard also hailed the family atmosphere in the team which has been the key in the side’s impressive performance this season.
”I think before I came here, Arsenal was already one family. Maybe we needed to improve or to develop some things differently with the team and with the club, but I think this club is very big and was a big family also before I came here,”he disclosed.
