Gabriel Martinelli spoke to bein sports after Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Sunderland today. Here’s what he had to say.
Coming off the bench to make an impact …
Yeah, I mean I think the whole team did superb. I think we did super well during the game in the beginning because we know in the Premier League it’s so hard to score and against Sunderland it wasn’t different. But we managed to control the game and when we had the chance to score.
On Gyokeres scoring twice …
Yeah, I mean Vik is a lovely guy. Everyone around the club loves him and since the beginning we’ve tried to give him the right support, and give him the tools to do what he does the best, that is score goals and create chances for us. Yeah, he’s a really good guy. Everyone loves him and we just try to give him the opportunity to score.
Is this Martinelli’s best season for Arsenal?
I mean, let’s see in the end of the season. I go game by game. Of course, I want to do well for the team. I want to score, I want to assist and I want to help this football club to win titles. That’s my main goal and this is what I try to do every single day when I wake up.
Being 9 points clear …
Yeah, I mean, we have to enjoy this moment to be able to be in this league on the top. It’s amazing. It’s a dream to us. I think we have to take this from an opportunity, as I said, not pressure. I mean, I talk about myself and my teammates. We try to enjoy it every single day and give it our best to try to bring the trophy home.
We are going to try our best until the last game of the season.
Arsenal having a ‘quad squad?’
We have an unbelievable squad. So many good players. We are a family. We are always together no matter what happens. If it goes well or it goes not that well, we are together. We stick together. So yeah, let’s go game by game and, of course, we want to win the title.
