da heads bet： Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has paid specific tribute to Gunners pair Mesut Ozil and Rob Holding after his side’s 3-1 win over Watford on Saturday.
da bet7： The victory at Vicarage Road was the North London side’s first of the new season and relieves some pressure from the French coach.
Ozil played an important part in the win, scoring Arsenal’s third with an excellent header, and Wenger was quick to praise the Germany international after the game.
“Especially in the first half [he was very good],” the French manager told the club’s official website.
“In the second half he dropped physically, but of course, we need him. I think what we’ve seen from him today is what we want from him, to give assists but he is going to score goals.
“So I am very happy that he scored today because that is what he is trying to add to his game.”
Ozil finished last season on top of the Premier League’s assists table and is an essential player to the Gunners’ attack.
Holding has retained his place in the Arsenal side after impressive performances since a summer move from Bolton Wanderers.
Wenger was quick to pick the young defender out for praise due to his partnership with Laurent Koscielny.
“An outstanding performance,” Wenger continued.
“I’m happy that you noticed that, because it’s important that a player who comes from Bolton, comes to a club where he concedes four goals in the first game at home, he has to play under huge pressure at Leicester and today he performs the way he does.
“I think it’s not easy and it shows some great potential and I am convinced that he will give a fight to all the centre backs.”
Holding’s role in the first team may well be under threat with the impending arrival of Shkodran Mustafi from Valencia but the young Englishman has thrived since moving to Arsenal.
