Haaland’s goals become Arsenal dressing room banter
Haaland’s scoring has caught the attention of football fans everywhere, but Arsenal’s players aren’t letting it distract them ahead of their crucial clash with City.
In an interview, as per The Mirror, Jorginho revealed that Haaland’s remarkable run is more of a joke among the squad. “Erling scoring again, it is starting to make us laugh! We look because we watch all the games, and we love football,” said the Arsenal captain.
But Arsenal isn’t losing focus. Despite the light-hearted approach, Jorginho made it clear the team is focused on themselves and their own game.
“It doesn’t get to our head. We need to focus on us, and that’s what we are trying to do,” he added. Arsenal’s defence, which was the tightest in the league last season, remains their strength, having conceded just one goal in the first four games this campaign.
The upcoming match is set to be a true battle of strength: Manchester City’s goal machine versus Arsenal’s iron defence. Arsenal fans will be hoping their team can outfox City’s star striker this Sunday.

Eyes on the prize, not the hype
While Haaland’s goals may dominate headlines, Arsenal’s real challenge will come from within. The squad, fresh off a six-game winning streak on the road, knows that their defensive strategy must be sharper than ever.
Jorginho emphasized the importance of going for victory in every game, saying, “If you want to achieve big things, you need to have the mentality of trying to win every single game. That is what we are trying to do.”
As Arsenal gears up for a challenging season that includes battles in both the Premier League and the Champions League, the squad knows they have to be prepared for anything. “We know it’s a long season and anything can happen,” Jorginho said, highlighting the need for the entire team to be ready for the journey ahead.
With Haaland in red-hot form and Arsenal eager to keep their title dreams alive, this weekend’s clash promises to be nothing short of a blockbuster. Arsenal fans, buckle up—it’s going to be a wild ride!
