About this game
As expected, Sunderland did encounter a lot of difficulties in the game today, but even in the difficult situation, we still firmly believe that the situation can be reversed and we have the ability to create opportunities. In the first half, both sides were evenly matched. We kept our formation very compact when defending. We also had the ability to threaten our opponents through set pieces, and our performance in mobile battles was also good. In the second half, the difficulty of the game increased significantly. Our players fought until the very end because they firmly believed that the situation could still be reversed and that Arsenal were perhaps one of the strongest teams in Europe at the moment. Although Sunderland was in trouble for a while today, we always believed that we could score another goal. The fans have given us great support and we have shown before that it is possible to score late in games, so now we have the belief that as long as the final whistle blows, anything is possible.
We are a newly formed team with young players. We can feel the opponent's pressure, the intensity of the game, and their strength. We are always looking for ways to win games and Arsenal are really strong at set pieces, but our set piece performance is also good. This point is crucial in this game, and the performance of both sides in this link is very balanced.
