Tuesday evening, Arsenal won 2 to 0 against Athletic Bilbao for its entry into the Champions League. If everything was not perfect, the Gunners ensured the essentials. Invited to express themselves on his former club on the set of CBS SportsThierry Henry was not tender with Mikel Arteta. “Let's be honest, it is imperative to win something this season. It is essential. I know that people will talk about the title, and I think it will be a battle between Liverpool and Arsenal. You can't do a cross yet on Manchester City, they are trying new things with new players. But they must (the Gunners, editor's note) win something. We are talking about what they did recently, but finishing second does not give a trophy. At one point, you have to validate what we are doing. ”
He continues: “It's possible, but this year we cannot go back and talk about injuries. They exist, but they also exist in other clubs … You have to do something this year. No more apologies, nothing, you have this team now and everything you need to perform. As a supporter, I will support the team as always, but this year, it's a crucial moment. No more apologies … When you play for the title, you have to go get it, not play to win. I have been saying it for a long time, but even more this year. If you want to beat Liverpool or Manchester City, you have to go get the victories, you can't say to yourself: “Let's not lose it” … and it's not just there (in Anfield this season), it happened many times. “ Arteta, whose speech has not been appreciated by Henry, has not yet convinced the former striker.
