Robin van Persie: Arsenal Must Defeat Wolverhampton Wanderers

This Saturday, Arsenal is going to play against Wolverhampton Wanderers. It will be an away match for the Gunners. In the last away match, nearly two weeks ago, Arsenal had 2-0 lead at half time but then suffered a 2-2 draw against a small club. This time, Robin van Persie  thinks that his team mates must try their best and win the match. Robin van Persie feels that if Arsenal wants to win the title of EPL this season then there is no alternate to winning this kind of matches against small clubs.

Guardian reported:

Arsenal are five points behind the league leaders, Chelsea, and three behind second-placed Manchester United, with a game in hand on both teams. But with the top two playing each other at Stamford Bridge this weekend they know victory will move them closer to at least one of their rivals.

"It is a very crucial time for us now," said the Dutch striker. "Against Wolves, it is a must-win game for us, given that Chelsea and Man United are playing each other. We have one game in hand and are two points [sic] off Chelsea so if they lose points we will be in a good position. One of the top two will lose points this weekend, so if we want to challenge for the title we have to win."

The good thing is that Van Persie himself is in superb form this season. He is getting goals regularly and Arsene Wenger has compared him with legendary Thierry Henry. Van Persie is young and he is a smart player. I hope that he stays in Arsenal for another at least 5-6 years and becomes a new legend in London.
