Barcelona’s Brazilian right back Dani Alves says that Arsenal lack the maturity and mental strength to win the Premier League. Alves’ Barca face Arsenal in the first knockout round of the Champions League next week and the ex Seville man does not think the London side will win their domestic league.
“Being such a young team they sometimes lack maturity and the experience that’s necessary to get to the line,” he told The Times.
“In the Premier League they start well, but it costs them more to maintain that level and get titles. They treat the ball very well and are very organised, tactically, but there is not a mixture of youth and experience.
“The young people want to attack but there are times when you have to control the game.” Alves is known for being very outspoken and his words will surely be used by the Gunners as a motivator for the mouth watering tie.
