TRIBUN-VIDEO.COM – Arsenal will play the second leg against Sporting CP in the last 16 of the 2022-23 Europa League. The Gunners, Arsenal’s nickname, will host Ruben Amorim’s team at the Emirates Stadium, London, on Friday (17/3/2023) at 03.00 WIB. In the first leg in Portugal, both teams drew 2-2. The Gunners’ goals came from William Saliba (22′) and Hidemasa Morita’s own goal (62′). Meanwhile, Verde e Brancos’ goals, Sporting’s nickname, were scored by Goncalo Inacio (34′) and Paulinho (55′). Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said that his team would continue to use the same playing style as in the first leg. However, Arteta hopes that Bukayo Saka et al can play better in the second leg to win. “We will do the same thing in Lisbon, but we have to do much better than last week to win tomorrow,” Arteta said as quoted from UEFA’s official website. “The way we defended against Fulham was a big difference. The desire to win the ball back, the attacks we showed, the way we defended in the box, that’s what we have to show tomorrow.” Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim from Sporting said that the match against Arsenal in the second leg will be very difficult. “I expect the match to be very difficult. We will play against a team that will start the match with a different tempo than the first leg,” said Amorim. “The team knows us better. We will also try to play better than in the first leg. We can play better,” he continued. According to Arteta, the match against Sporting will be a big night for Arsenal. “We haven’t had a big night in European competition for three years. Tomorrow is the first time for a while,” said the former assistant to Pep Guardiola at Man City. “Hopefully we can build a supportive atmosphere and feel it with the supporters when facing a really good team and giving us a challenge.” Amorim insisted on targeting his team to win over Arsenal in order to advance to the next round. “We want to win every game and against Arsenal it will be no different just because they are the top of the Premier League standings. We always want to win, whoever we face,” concluded Amorim.
