Iwobi has revealed Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, has brought in a performance
analyst in a bid to improve his erratic end product.
The Super Eagles star has
featured prominently this season with Emery a fan of his ball-carrying ability
and running power.
However, Iwobi has scored two goals this season and provided two
assists this season and his decision making continues to be criticised.
“This season I feel much
better and I feel like I’m in control, especially going forward in an attacking
sense.
“I have an analyst now who is always trying to help me, which I
didn’t have in seasons before, so he’s sending me clips and saying what I can
do better.
“That’s helped me and I’d like to say I’ve been involved in a few
goals this season, even it’s not the assist or the goal, I’ve been getting a
few pre-assists which go unnoticed. But at the end of the day as long as the
team does well, that’s my main concern.
“I would say each day I’m
still growing and still learning, but negatives, obviously they’re always going
to criticise me for my goals and assists, which I need to add to my game if I
want to be compared with the people I’m playing with.
“The main thing is just to remain calm. We’ve even been doing some
mental work to remain calm under pressure and calm when I’m on the pitch, and
this is something I’ve been working on, not just in football but also off the
pitch as well.
“Now I’ve done it I look back and it wasn’t easy, especially with
the things I had to go through, so I can always say it’s going to be hard, but
the rewards are definitely worth it.
“What’s next? Life is like a movie, you have to stay tuned. I can’t really
predict what’s going to happen. We will have to wait and see. All I know is
that playing for Arsenal to me is always going to be an honour. I’m always
proud to represent this club and wear the badge,” Iwobi told Arsenal Player.
