- Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi has been a revelation this season at Arsenal this term
- Gunners new boss Unai Emery revealed why the Eagles star is playing better this term
- He also explained why it is important for football players to exhibit confidence during matches
Arsenal manager Unai Emery believes his advice to Super Eagles forward Alex Iwobi is largely responsible for his decent play in the 9-week old 2018-19 campaign.
In an interview with the club’s official website on Friday, October 26, the Spaniard urged Iwobi and teammates not to be afraid of making mistakes.
“We can’t just stop at one mistake,” said the head coach.

“The mistake is to learn and to attempt another action.
“The confidence is giving them the possibility to do the things well and also, when they make a mistake, it makes them want to do better on the next attempt.
“I think my idea with the players is to give them confidence every day by working hard in every session, in the video analysis, with the videos we give them. We give them the opportunity to watch their action first, their good actions, their bad actions, and this is the way for them to take a lot of confidence or learn how to improve.
“They think, ‘How can I improve?’ or ‘How can I do better in a different situation within the game?’
“I think for [Alex] and for our other players, we need to work on things every day,” Emery submitted.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously had reported that Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi has been handed a new nickname by teammate Shkodran Mustafi after his brilliant display for the Unai Emery-tutored side on Monday night.
