Bruno Guimarães celebrated his first home goal for Arsenal, a result that brought the team back to a performance level closer to what he expected from the club. The Brazilian, who scored the decisive goal against Brighton, asked TNT Sports to share his emotion after taking home the three points.
The match, played at the Emirates Stadium, was a turning point for the Arsenista. After the disappointing performance against Brighton, manager MikelArteta had asked for a change of mentality. Guimarães said the team had found the right mentality and that his goal showed that Arsenal are still capable of competing for titles. "It's an incredible feeling. In the last match against Brighton we were absolutely not at the level that this shirt requires. Today the mentality was the right one to redeem ourselves", said the player.
The goal, which was Guimarães' first at home, was described by him as "an important goal" and gave the team a decisive advantage. The attacker underlined the importance of always giving your best when you are on the pitch and of putting the coach in difficulty in his tactical choices. “For me the fundamental thing is to always give my best when I go on the pitch and put the coach in difficulty when making choices,” he added.
Guimarães closed his speech by reiterating Arsenal's objective: to become champions again. “Our goal is clear: we want to be champions again,” he said, sending a direct message to manager Arteta and the fans. With this goal and the victory, Arsenal proved that they are still capable of competing in the Premier League, while Guimarães remains a key element for the team in the race for points.
The next step for Arsenal will be to consolidate this positive form in the next matches, trying to maintain the winning mentality that led to this victory and this significant goal for Guimarães.
