Rio Ferdinand Says Arsenal’s Defence Is The Best In Years

Arsenal is now boasting a really effective defence, featuring the pairing of Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi, making the entire lineup settled, according to Rio Ferdinand. He declared that Arsene Wenger’s brand new centre-back pairing is going to form the foundation of the very best defence that the football club had in the past many years.

At the moment, according to country statistics, the Gunners come up second on the goal difference stat and do look as being favorites to qualifying from the current Champions League group since the season started off really great. Rio Ferdinand, who was renowned in the past as a center back, offers much credit to these two central defenders for current results.

The expenses associated with the stellar defence line were pretty high. Arsene Wenger spent 35 million pounds in order to snatch Mustafi from Valencia. The transfer happened in August. The German soccer player did evolve and found great results through performance currently in UK’s football league. Ever since Per Mertesacker was sidelined, Frenchman Koscielny transformed the outlook of the entire back line. This led Rio Ferdinand to declaring that: “This is the best back four I have seen at Arsenal for many a year. They are settled and look confident.” The statement was made for his Evening Standard column.

For many the addition of the new players brought in a breath of fresh air, similarly to going fishing with the best possible equipment. Have you heard of this charter in Miami? It is renowned for the quality of the equipment that is offered. In a similar way, the quality of the back line that Arsenal put together seems to be highly effective, although this was not what was thought in the beginning.

Rio Ferdinand said that he did not think that Per Mertesacker was appropriate for Koscielny, the league or the Arsenal football club for that matter. Wenger ended up spending the huge amount of money on Mustafi and bring him in from Valencia. Ever since the acquisition he did go far in terms of results. The success that Arsenal had during the start of Wenger’s leadership appeared because of the really solid back 4 players. In the event that this is what is put together now, there is a pretty good possibility that silverware can be won, which is exactly what Rio Ferdinand and Arsenal fans want to see.

Petr Cech defends the goal, with Nacho Monreal and Hector Bellerin being right in front of him. This makes the defence that Arsenal has being really strong as compared to the last seasons. The improvement is seen as being huge, making the coach declare that the team goes for the very first title in the past 13 years. In Champions League they will not be able to rely on Bellerin but what is seen as one of the best possible right backs in the Premier League should come back soon, for the Tottenham match.
