Giroud backs Arsenal for a bright future under Unai Emery
Arsenal have been rather inconsistent in the Premier League this season but former Gunner Olivier Giroud believes that the club has better days to come under Unai Emery.
The Gunners currently sit 5th in the standings, six points adrift of Chelsea for the final Champions League spot but they might finish the week nine points behind if they lose against the Blues on Saturday.
Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from their shock 1-0 defeat to West Ham last week and Giroud believes the Gunners are in good shape heading into the weekend clash against Chelsea.
The Frenchman has also hailed Unai Emery, saying that the Spaniard has acclimatised really well to the club and the players also like his philosophy.
“It’s a new adventure for them with a new coach,” he told ESPN.
“I think Emery has settled well in the club, the players like him, the way they are training, his philosophy of the game.
“I spoke with some of them and they are quite happy, but you don’t forget what Arsène Wenger achieved in this club.
“He basically built this club – if you take the different teams that used to train under Wenger, there were some unbelievable teams,” the Frenchman added.
“We need to be patient with Emery and I think he will do very well at Arsenal.
“I’m not sure they’re better than before, but one thing for sure is they’ve got a bright future.”
