EMERY CALL TO PRESS...

-

score, of course I was frustrated. But last season has finished, it’s the past.

“I’ve learned from this and now I am happy to start a new season.

“Now I know all of my team-mates, I know the club, I know how English football is.

“It’s totally different, but now I’m more ready. Power is the main difference here, it’s more powerful in England.

“Referees are less strict than in France, teams like to play low and in counteratt­ack and defenders in general are stronger than in France.” In January, Wenger said those powerful defenders and the fact that there was no winter break made life hard for Lacazette in his first season.

The then Arsenal boss pointed to Alvaro Morata’s struggles at Chelsea. Morata has since revealed that he changed his hair, his car and his boots to try to break his bad spell.

Lacazette stuck to more standard practices.

The Arsenal man added: “Arsene talked to me a lot, I watched videos, I trained more. Sometimes you can do everything but it’s only about a little bit of luck.

“I know it was my first season so I can’t be too hard on myself. It was okay.

“I don’t care how people judge me, I know if I stay in Arsenal the club is happy and my team-mates as well.

“This is the most important thing.”
