Gabriel Jesus has opened up about Arsenal’s ‘frustrated’ dressing room after their humiliating 3-1 loss to Manchester United.On Sunday,
Arsenal put on an exciting attacking display at Old Trafford, but were undone defensively when Mikel Arteta decided to go for broke late in the game. Marcus Rashford scored twice to end Arsenal’s perfect start to the Premier League season, in which they had won their first five games.
“The feeling is frustration because we controlled the game and the first two goals we conceded, we were better than them,” the Brazilian striker claimed post-match. “So we are not happy because, in my opinion, we could have won because we play so much better.”But that’s football. If you don’t go there and kill, you are going to have a big problem – and that’s what happened. Now is the time to learn from it and improve. We are doing so well this season, but there are still things to improve for everyone, as individuals, and as a team.””If you look at our team you can see we are still young.
It’s the youngest team in the league, in the toughest league in the world,” the former City star added. “We have to stick together, improve as a team, and don’t think about this one.”This one is gone. We have to do better next time. We are playing so well, so good, but no one is perfect. No team in the world is perfect and but I think now it is our challenge to improve a lot of things – and come back strong.”Jesus’ manager echoed his sentiments, having been asked if there were positives to take from the defeat in Manchester. “Yeah, but it’s difficult to see it now because we are all disappointed,” Arteta admitted. “We put so much into this game and are really pleased with the effort and the quality the boys showed today but we need to move on to the next one.”
