| Arsene Wenger |
Arsene Wenger claimed his side have to go all out in attack if they are to
stand any hope of resurrecting their Champions League dream with victory over
Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
The Arsenal manager said six goals in two Premier League games, including a
3-0 thrashing of Manchester United earlier this month, had been ‘perfect’
preparation for the crucial clash at The Emirates.
Shock defeats by Dynamo Kiev and Olympiakos have left Arsenal needing a win
against the German champions to reduce the likelihood of a disastrous early
exit from a competition that Wenger had ambitions of winning at the start of
the season.
‘It is a perfect run in our Premier League and also perfect preparation for
Bayern because we had no injuries and got the three points,’ he said after
goals from Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey saw off
Watford.
SUPER
STAT
Alexis Sanchez has scored in his last six games for club and country,
amassing 10 goals after beginning the season with an eight-match barren
spell.
‘Now we can focus and give everything on Tuesday. The confidence level is
there, we know exactly what is needed, a 0-0 is not even a good result. To
score goals, we have to attack.
'To be 3-0 up in 20 minutes as we were against Manchester United would be
ideal but we did not plan that. We need to play to our level because we play
against a big team.’
Wenger will hope to invoke memories of 2003-04 when Arsenal executed an
unlikely passage to the knockout stages of the Champions League despite being
rock bottom after three games, with one point.
