Amat: "To the Arsenal is missing him balance in the midfield"

The central youngster Catalan of the Swansea that played also in the Espanyol among others teams, Jordi Amat, has conceded an interview to "MD" in which it has analysed the game of the Arsenal, his virtues and weaknesses, after having measured does some weeks against the "gunners" and obtain the victory with the Swansea in the Emirates Stadium. In the first place, it stood out who thinks that are the pillars in the game of the Arsenal. "Whenever you play against the Arsenal is complicated because has players very good arrive and backwards. In attack have a lot of options with Özil, Alexis, Giroud... Have magic, especially Özil. This yes, they are good but the Barça is upper".

It stood out that to the Arsenal is missing him balance in the centre of the field, after having suffered this season an authentic plague of injuries in said positions with Cazorla and Wilshere mainly, when treating of two indisputable headlines. "Many times they remained descolgados four or five his players arrive when they attacked and that was our moment. Had only to Coquelin in the average and if we stole the balloon arrived our opportunity. Our first goal was like this: the four from above did not go down, recover I on Özil, my mate Cork takes it, pass to the space and goal", remembers Jordi Amat.

Per Mertesacker Does not complicate to the hour to take out the balloon from backwards. "Had clear what do in front of his head offices, Gabriel and Mertesacker. Gabriel takes out more played the ball whereas Mertesacker throws it more in long. We leave freer to Mertesacker and the German threw it in long many times. It came us well", it explains Amat, that has stood out also the work of Olivier Giroud. "Giroud Is a forward corpulento and technician, understands very well with Özil and with Alexis. Of Özil it is necessary to fear his assistances and his magic. Alexis is very anarchic and this does it very dangerous. To me it touched me mark more to Giroud, that is quite hard. It uses a lot the hands, the body, and has a lot of mobility".

In this sense, the Arsenal stands out by his mobility in all the lines, but will have it very difficult against a team like the FC Barcelona. "The means and the tips of the Arsenal move a lot, go always to the space. Also they go down to receive the balloon, to offer , want to play it and move the ball of a side to another. But against the Barça this will cost them more because the team of Luis Enrique also wants the balloon. As they attack so much to the space, our pivote, Cork, did the record of distance visited: 14 kilometres. It finish popped because it had to help us to the defences. In this sense, the drop of Ramsey is good for the Barça".

And Amat, besides, has put of relief another important strategic factor regarding the played to unemployed balloon. "To defensive level, the only point that repeat in the videos is the way in that the Arsenal defends lacking and corners: they expect to the last second to back. When it is touching the ball the rival thrower is when it retreats his defensive line. To surprise them a bit, because usually you are stuck to the defence, we remain us more delayed to go in launched. Like this we mark the second goal".
