Arsenal’s midfielder, Jorginho, has delivered a stern caution to his teammates, urging them to cultivate a more ruthless and goal-hungry mentality, despite securing a 2-1 victory over Wolves in their recent Premier League encounter.
The Gunners, displaying an impressive performance, found the back of the net twice within the opening 13 minutes of the match, seemingly poised for a comfortable triumph.
However, their failure to capitalize on opportunities left them facing a tense final nine minutes after Matheus Cunha scored for Wolves in the 87th minute.
Reflecting on the match, Jorginho emphasized the importance of a winning mindset, stating, “It is a mindset, to be honest because you have the game completely under control, and all of a sudden you stop doing the simple things that you need to keep doing.”
The midfielder highlighted the tendency to become complacent when in control, cautioning against the team’s inclination to deviate from effective strategies.
He continued, “The game looks easy, and then you start to play around, trying to enjoy the ball, but at the end, we need to put in our mind that we enjoy scoring goals and not just playing around and bringing pressure and situations that we don’t need.”
Jorginho’s remarks underscored the need for the team to prioritize goal-scoring and maintain focus throughout the entirety of the match.
Acknowledging the competitiveness of the Premier League, Jorginho stressed the necessity for a more ruthless approach.
“Yes, I think we need to be more ruthless, especially in the Premier League; the game is never finished.
When it is 1-0, 2-0, you have to think you need three, four and respect the game,” he asserted, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the league and the importance of sustaining intensity.
Despite securing the win, Jorginho’s comments reveal a keen awareness within the Arsenal camp that there is room for improvement.
As the team continues to occupy the top spot in the league for the second consecutive week, surpassing rivals Liverpool and Manchester City, the midfielder’s insights shed light on the mindset required to maintain their position and contend for the coveted Premier League title.
The challenge, as articulated by Jorginho, lies in translating dominance into sustained success through a relentless commitment to goal-scoring and maintaining focus until the final whistle.
