Jakub Kiwior played in the heart of the defense of Arsenal when they held a crucial clean leaf in their 3-0 Champions League break by Real Madrid
Jakub Kiwior claims that no physical training could have prepared the Gunners -Line Line for Real Madrid. Instead, the pole revealed that he studied video analysis and just knew that he had to do a huge amount of running to put Kylian Mbappe and Co in their tracks. The 25-year-old center-back excelled next to William Saliba when the couple helped the Real Madrid-Superster to claim a precious clean sheet prior to the return of next week in the Bernabeu. While Mbappe wasted a glorious opportunity in the first half, the 26-year-old with Jet-herel was hardly existing after the interval when Arsenal brought Los Blancos to the sword.
Much of them was proof of Kiwior's quality and he told Canal+ Poland when he asked about his shoutout from the Frenchman: “We analyze a lot for the game. We also know these players very well. We know what their strengths are and that they are very fast.
“You cannot fully prepare for this during the training, only mentally. You have to prepare for the fact that there is a lot of running, running very fast. You have to prepare for this before the game and realize it during the game.”
Kiwior has made a real impression in the heart of the defense of Arsenal since Gabriel Magalhaes was sidelined with a hamstring injury. The former Spezia Ace, signed in a £ 20 million deal in January 2023, also won the Man of the Match Award on Saturday after the 1-1 Premier League equal game at Everton. He claims that Arsenal did not feel any pressure on Tuesday evening when she arrived in the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening and explained: “It was an important match for us. We felt it especially today. But when we arrived in the stadium, we didn't explain to ourselves in the dressing room.
Kiwior made four ball recover and was not even drunk against Real Madrid. He also completed 57 of his 61 passes during the night when Arsenal fully controlled the second half against the Shell-Shocked Galacticos.
Mikel Arteta was full of praise for Kiwior, who spent most of the season in the cold and warmed up the bank. The Spaniard said: “We probably lost our best defender for four months, Jakub comes in and delivers the performances he delivers. It's no coincidence.” After he had previously attracted interest from Italy and the French giants Marseille, it was initially expected that Van de Polen International would pursue a regular playing time at the end of the campaign. But his last two versions have emphasized his interest in the team, even if the minutes are hard to find the entire season.
