Making sure not to concede any goals. This is the message Arsene Wenger has sent to his players ahead of next week’s Champions League game away at Porto.
With the Gunners missing Andrey Arshavin for the game, the Frenchman highlighted the importance of making sure not to lose heavily and be out of the tie before the Emirates game.
The Arsenal boss said:
The minimum requirement is not to lose the game and be out of the tie.
A clean sheet will do, but we are team who will not hide – we want to play. However, we want to make sure defensively we are okay.
From the outside, sometimes you are seen as favourites, but that does not matter.
Porto have been consistently in the Champions League and you know you will get a tough game, so I will not be surprised.
