Arsenal and Everton drew 0-0 at home in the 16th round of the Premier League last weekend. After the match, Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya gave his insight into the game, and although he made few saves in the match, he was still satisfied with his performance.
Raya revealed that although it may seem like he is doing nothing on the field, he is actually doing his part for the team's defense. He emphasized that intercepting the opponent's behind the ball, controlling the rhythm of the game, these are the goalkeeper's part of the job, seemingly insignificant, but in fact the team's overall defense is crucial. Raya said he was always on high alert, striving to control the ball accurately, avoiding rash passes or making wrong decisions, and that he thought he had given the team a perfect game.
Talking about his team's failure to score, Raya believes that it is not a lack of confidence but a natural part of the soccer game. He mentioned that sometimes goals are scored with the help of set-pieces, and sometimes they are scored through quick attacks. Raya believes that Arsenal has performed in both aspects, but unfortunately failed to seize the opportunity. At the same time, he also spoke highly of Everton's defense and thought they were quite good in the game.
Looking ahead, Raya said Arsenal need to focus on their own performance and continue to work hard. He firmly believes that as long as the team stays united and fights to the end, they will be able to achieve good results in the upcoming matches. Raya's words highlight his sense of responsibility and team spirit as a goalkeeper, but also for Arsenal fans to bring confidence and expectations.
