Following a midweek game against Wolfsburg, Daley Blind has dismissed the idea that it’s difficult to prepare yourself for a weekend game. Manchester United take on Arsenal on Sunday and Blind says that he’s ready.
As a player, you want those games to play. Mentally, I think I’m ready for it. You don’t have to prepare yourself for that. But you need to take rest and recover. I think that’s very important but, for me personally, I feel fit so I’m happy.
Arsenal have lost their opening two Champions League games and Blind has acknowledged this could have a positive impact on them ahead of Sunday.
They want to set something right, of course, after the loss in the Champions League but it’s difficult for them as we are in a good mood now. It’s always a good feeling to go somewhere and you are the league leaders. It’s a special feeling. We have to move on from that and keep strong going there but we have to be prepared. Arsenal will come out strongly so we have to make sure we get the three points – that would be nice.
