Gabriel Jesus has sent a message to his Arsenal teammates following this weekend’s draw against Southampton.
Mikel Arteta’s side have played a 1-1 draw with the Saints at St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday.
After their first draw since last January, the Gunners remain top of the Premier League, meanwhile, their eight-game-winning run has come to a halt.
Speaking post-match, the Brazil international admitted the team was a ‘little bit upset’ as they expected to take the three points to London.
Jesus encouraged his team to be ‘calm’ and play their football like they started the season, according to the Independent.
“Everyone is a little bit upset because we know we could win the game, get the three points,” Jesus told his club’s website. “I think they played good, but we were better than them. We give them a lot of easy balls and then we don’t score the goals with the chances we create.
“Now is the time you know everyone is going to talk about us, about our performance; I just want to say to the team to be calm.
“We are going to come back strong, play our football, like we started the season and everything is coming back to normal. Sometimes you drop a little bit, but you have to realise and wake up. That’s what we have to do.”
