Arsenal head coach Jonas Eidevall says that his side are focusing on what they can control in a bid to achieve their goals between now and the end of the season.
The Gunners have already won the FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup, however, they have a mountain to climb to force their way back into the Barclays Women’s Super League’s title race. Arsenal currently occupy fourth place in the league table, six points behind leaders Manchester United.
When speaking to the media ahead of Sunday’s fixture against Reading at the LV Bet Stadium, Arsenal head coach Eidevall said that his side’s focus is on what they can control and they are taking things one game at a time.
“We go into every game with ambition, to win and to try our very best,” Eidevall said. “I think we keep it one game at a time. In football, there are a lot of things that you can’t control; we can’t be focusing on that, but we can be focusing on every game that we have in front of us.
“We need to be mentally strong and if we are doing that well enough, I am confident that we will have a good chance of reaching our ambitions.”
Latest opponents Reading are so often tough to break down. Eidevall recognises the Berkshire club’s unique qualities and he knows that his side will have to be on top form.
He said “They are a very versatile team that can play in many different ways and many different formations. They have found solutions during the season and during matches which I think is a recipe for success for them.
“We will need to be very well-prepared because we expect a very tough opponent. If we play at our best, I am very confident that we will reach the right level.”
