Arsenal Can Handle Giroud Absence, Insists Chamberlain

Arsenal’s England winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is of the belief that they can handle the absence of striker Olivier Giroud who picked up ankle injury during their 2-2 draw with Premier League counterparts Everton last week.
“It is a massive blow for us because Olivier is a great player,” said Oxlade-Chamberlain, as quoted by reliable Agen Bola indo11.com.
“But there are players in the squad who can fill that role.”
“Alexis Sanchez played absolutely unbelievably last night. I did not realise a man as small as him could hold the ball up so well against big defenders. We have got Yaya Sanogo, who is chomping at the bit in training, and Lukas Podolski and Joel Campbell too. We have got Theo Walcott to come back from injury as well. Whoever is playing up front, I am sure they will be confident of filling that role.”

Iker Casillas tetap yang terbaik untuk Spanyol

Agen Bola Terpercaya Indo11.com melaporkan, posisi Iker Casillas sebagai kiper nomor satu Spanyol di Piala Dunia sedang digoyang usai kekalahan dari Belanda. Tapi menurut Pepe Reina, Casillas masih tetap yang terbaik untuk La Furia Roja.

Spanyol harus menuai kekalahan telak 1-5 dari Belanda di laga pembuka Grup B. Selain kekacauan lini belakang Spanyol yang dijaga Gerard Pique dan Sergio Ramos, faktor kekalahan Spanyol adalah buruknya penampilan Casillas di bawah mistar. Apalagi dua dari lima gol Belanda disebabkan oleh kesalahannya.

"Iker adalah fenomenal, kami tidak ingin melihat soal penampilannya saat ini. Dia akan jadi penyelamat kami di laga berikutnya. Dia terlihat bagus di mataku, percaya diri dan sangat termotivasi. Saya rasa dia tidak perlu dicadangkan. Saya yakin dia tidak akan diganti dan saya mendukung itu. Dia sangat siap untuk bisa menolong kami di saat dibutuhkan," jelas Reina.
