Steve Nicol said it was tragic for Henrikh Mkhitaryan to have to stay away from the final of the Europa League in Baku for security reasons.
Shkodran Mustafi insists that the Arsenal defense "does its job" despite its poor record during the season.
Mustafi has been a regular in Arsenal's bottom line that has conceded 51 Premier League goals this season, the highest number among the top five and more than twice as much as Manchester City and Liverpool, holding only eight white goals.
However, the top two teams were the only ones to have scored more than the season, so as they missed only one spot in the top four by one point, it's quite possible that their defense would costs a place in the Champions League.
They could still claim that spot by beating Chelsea in the final of the Europa League in Baku on Wednesday, and Mustafi defended his record, insisting that the critics came from behind because the mistakes on the bottom line are "the the easiest thing to attack. "
"If you do 90% of your work and in the 10% that the opponent scores a goal, people forget the 90%," said the German central defender.
"If, at the end of the season, you scored 70 points, that's for a reason, I do not think that if the defense does not do our job, you would do 70.
"If an attacker misses a goal, a penalty, or something else, you have another opportunity five or ten minutes later, still not talking about it, you have to live with it because that's part of our job."
– When is the final of the Europa League?
– Who qualifies for Europe's Premier League
– When does the transfer window close?
Mustafi then pointed to Arsenal's playing style as a possible reason for their porous background.
"We are a team that in many games wants to put pressure on, giving teams the opportunity to score goals, giving them a space to try to sneak in."
"You have to look at all the details of all the games and see what's wrong, but at the end of the day, even when we try to play in the back, people say," Why are they doing this? Why do they just hit him from the back? But this is not our game.
"The coach prefers us to make mistakes but we play anyway.
"You are not going to win without an identity and that's how we wanted to play, we wanted to silence the goals and score goals, and then we obviously did not want to let the other team score." goals, want to score too.
"We have not reached the position we wanted to reach, it is a disappointing fact, but we still have the opportunity in the Europa League to reach the goal we wanted – as well as". a trophy."
