Arshavin: “Cesc was the conductor”

By Aries

Andrei Arshavin has hailed once again Fabregas’s fantastic performance against Bolton at the Reebok after Arsenal’s 2-0 victory. He described Fabregas as a conductor.

“Cesc was back in operation. He competently conducted the team and managed to score a goal” he said on his personal web site.

He also thought that it was Arsenal’s team performance that carried them through to final victory but that the pitch didn’t help.

“Today we played quite a hard match. These victories are needed, they are important for the team. I think that today we won thanks to a team game for Arsenal. We tried to combine, but the field was difficult. It interfered with our play”

Arshavin also admitted that his defensive performance was not up to scratch.

“We changed the scheme of the game today. My task was to play left field. I was not able to fully help out in the defense but thanks to the guys who corrected my flaws”

What is important now to Andrei is to win the next game against Bolton which will set the team up nicely for the crucial next four games which include Aston Villa, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.

“But the task is not yet complete, because in the matches against Bolton we want to have 6 points.

If after two days we will be able once again to beat this team, we'll have a good chance on the eve of crucial four matches for Arsenal” he said.
