Arsenal boss Mikel Arterta assists Gabriel Jesus’ lack of goals does not concern him.
Jesus started Wednesday’s Champions League victory against AS Monaco, but did not get on the scoresheet.
However, Arterta insisted when he was asked about building the striker’s confidence: “Nothing, just to put him in front of goal like he’s done today on a couple of occasions, and there are millimetres, centimetres to see if the goal goes in or not.
“He was there, he looked really alive, he had created the first goal from a great move and that’s him, so we have him back. He’s with us and I’m sure he will contribute to the team.”
Arteta also stated: “We have a massive responsibility. I cannot kick the ball but we can coach them, we can teach them and sometimes they have to take a step back as well, it’s a decision they have to take. They cannot be thinking about what they have to do, what we’ve told them as well.
“We try to provide the right information and right tools so they can understand the defence, understand the keeper a lot of things that we work on, and after that it’s their execution. It’s a difficult thing to do in football but they have a lot of talent to deliver that.”
