Slegers challenges Arsenal to prove recent form
31 Oct
Summary
- Arsenal seeks to validate recent victories against Aston Villa.
- Two consecutive wins have boosted team morale after a tough start.
- Opponent Aston Villa presents an unknown factor due to coaching changes.
Renée Slegers has challenged Arsenal to demonstrate that their recent surge in form is sustainable. The team secured two consecutive wins, first against Tottenham in the north London derby and then a 3-0 victory over Benfica in the Women's Champions League, with Alessia Russo scoring all three goals. These results offer a positive trajectory after a challenging beginning to the season.
Slegers acknowledged the significance of these wins but stressed the importance of consistent performance, stating the need to 'back this up' in future matches. The upcoming fixture against Aston Villa, managed by Brian Sørensen, poses a unique challenge. Villa's recent transition, including a coaching change and system alterations, makes their tactical approach uncertain, prompting Slegers to emphasize preparation and a focus on Arsenal's own game plan.
