Arsenal manager Unai Emery is earning praise from many quarters ahead of the coming season.

The Spaniard took over from Arsene Wenger, whose legendary tenure came to an end this past season.

And according to club legend Emmanuel Petit, Emery has a specific philosophy that will help Arsenal in the coming years. Petit is especially excited about the improvement to Arsenal’s defence under their new coach.

"I think he's a talented coach," he told the club's website.

"He's got a specific vision on the pitch, just like he did with Sevilla, and I really hope that he can do that with Arsenal. I hope the leaders of the dressing room will follow his steps and his orders.

"Offensively, there is no problem. I think Arsenal has been marked as a brand offensively, the way you move, your passing, skills. Arsenal will always be able to score goals against any opponent but the question is whether you can avoid conceding goals.

"When you look at the table from last season, you can see the big difference between the top teams in the Premier League. Scoring goals? Yes, but more importantly with conceding goals.

"The coach, Unai Emery, will have to do a lot of work defensively – and that's not just on the defenders – so that the whole team's mentality changes when they lose the ball. For me, the main problem with

Arsenal is not when they have the ball, it's when they don't have it." (Tribal Football)
