Ferdinand Tells Arteta to Attack Real Madrid Instead of Defending in Second Leg
Former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand has shared his thoughts with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on how best to face Real Madrid in their upcoming Champions League quarter-final second leg on Wednesday.
Arsenal heads into the clash with confidence after a dominant 3-0 win in the first leg at the Emirates. Goals from Declan Rice, who bagged a brace, and Mikel Merino gave the Gunners a solid lead over Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
Speaking on his podcast Rio Ferdinand Presents, the ex-England defender urged Arteta not to sit back when they step onto the pitch at the Santiago Bernabeu. Instead, he believes the team should maintain an attacking mindset.
“How’s Arteta going to set up for this one? That’s the big question,” Ferdinand said. “Does he go defensive and try to hold on to the lead, or does he take the game to Madrid? If they score even once, Madrid would need four. And how often have Arsenal conceded five?”
He added, “If it were me, I’d tell the players to go for it. Let’s go toe to toe.” The second leg is set to kick off at 8 pm Nigerian time.
Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on his son’s future and football career after watching his training sessions.
He spoke about his 16-year-old son “He’s a good kid. Honest, a good kid. The others are tougher. The ones I have at home, the younger ones. This one is no problem. The others…”
“When I was his age, he was a bit bigger and stronger. I was smaller. I believe he will be bigger than me in size. The hunger is the most challenging aspect.”
Footballers João Pedro and Moisés Caicedo have shared their thoughts on the recent transfer of former Brighton player Danny Welbeck.
It can be noted that Welbeck recently completed a move to Stamford Bridge. Pedro shared “This will mark the third occasion we have played together, and I believe, just as he did for me previously, he will extend his support to everyone in the squad. Danny embodies that spirit; he is incredibly helpful and genuinely wishes the best for everyone around him and for the team.
“It is well-known that he is an exceptional player. I am eager to play alongside him once more, and I believe he will be a tremendous asset to our group.”
Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior has spoken about his contract and how things have been since discussions began.
He said “It’s gone very well, meeting the new coach and the new players and training very hard. Mourinho wants me to be as I’ve always been: happy, cheerful, and that I play my football.”
“We have to prepare physically so that during the season we have fewer injuries and we can count on everybody. Monday was a double session, Tuesday is one session. So let’s go. Today we did a bit of work in the gym and a short session to load our legs some more.”
