Surprise! Merino reveals he’s playing as a striker for the first time marinabays

marinabays Arsenal midfielder Miguel Merino has revealed he played as a striker for the first time after scoring twice in a 2-0 win at Leicester City.

The Gunners were in trouble at the King Power Stadium as the situation forced them to use Leandro Trossard as a false 9 and Raheem Sterling on the left, but it was ineffective and the score was not scored. marinabays

Before Mikel Arteta made a change in the 69th minute, bringing on the Spanish international to replace Sterling as a forward and he did not disappoint, scoring twice to lead his team to a heart-stopping victory.

“It was the first time in my career that I was playing in that position, but he told me to play as a striker, giving me the confidence to come in with my strengths. Luckily, I was able to help the team with those two goals,” Merino said.

I’ve only ever scored twice in my career, this was the first time I’ve scored from the bench as a striker. It was a good moment to score, I didn’t get to spend Valentine’s Day with my wife, so I dedicate these two goals to her.” ( marinabays )
