Arsene Wenger urges his players to bounce back

Arsene Wenger during his team’s clash against Borussia Dortmund

Arsenal suffered a 2-1 defeat against Borussia Dortmund in the group stage match in their latest Champions League campaign. The defeat comes as a shock as Arsenal were pitted as the favorites to win the match.

Manager Arsene Wenger is disappointed with the outcome but has urged his players to get back stronger. He also claims that his team certainly has a chance to go to the knock-out stages of the competition.

Wenger said : “Disappointment is part of how a team grows. Some players are a bit jaded, it was a game of high intensity, but very few chances. Dortmund were well organised to stop us playing but we put ourselves on the back foot for the first goal, and were naive for the second.

“We started hesitantly and gave them confidence. Our fluent football was not quick enough. The group is tight and difficult for us, but it is possible (knock-out qualification). We need a result away from home,” said the Frenchman.
