Pre-Season Promise
Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus is setting his sights on a powerful start to the new football season, following a promising pre-season performance. After scoring against Leyton Orient, Jesus continued his form with a goal in Los Angeles, contributing to Arsenal’s victory with a 25-minute equaliser, paving the way for Gabriel Martinelli’s later winner.
Overcoming Past Injuries
The 27-year-old Brazilian striker reflects on a challenging pre-season last year, marred by a knee injury that required surgery and caused him to miss crucial early fixtures. However, this year Jesus is back in form, having enjoyed his holidays and dedicated himself to rigorous training, ready to make his mark on the pitch once again.
Arteta’s High Expectations
Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta has high hopes for Jesus, noting his improved preparation and fitness. Despite a modest goal tally in the previous Premier League season, Arteta is confident that Jesus’s renewed sharpness and determination will translate into a strong performance this year.
Match Highlights
Jesus played a key role in Arsenal’s recent match, scoring a well-executed goal after Manchester United initially took the lead. Despite the early setback, Jesus and his team rallied to secure a win, emphasising the importance of their hard-fought victory and the positive spirit within the squad as they gear up for the upcoming season.
Manchester United’s Mixed Fortunes
Manchester United’s early lead, thanks to a goal from Rasmus Hojlund, was short-lived as the player was forced to leave the pitch due to injury. This left United without a significant offensive presence for the remainder of the match. Nevertheless, United’s manager Erik ten Hag praised the overall performance and took solace in winning the post-game penalty shootout.
Injury Concerns for Ten Hag
Ten Hag is hopeful that Hojlund’s injury is not severe, as well as that of new signing Leny Yoro, who also had to leave the field in the first half. The fitness of these players will be closely watched as the team continues its pre-season preparations.
