da betcris: Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker has stated that he is confident that his side can finish in the top four, despite missing the chance to go fourth on Tuesday night.
Arsene Wenger’s men could have leapfrogged Chelsea in the Premier League standings had they beaten Wolves at the Emirates Stadium, but the visitors were inspired by goalkeeper Wayne Hennessy and the spoils were shared in a 1-1 draw.
The Germany international believes the North London side can qualify for the Champions League, regardless of a more competitive race for the top four.
“We had a big chance to go into fourth place, but we didn’t do that. It was our fault – we had a lot of chances but we didn’t score,” the centre half told The Telegraph.
“There are some days in the life of goalkeepers where something happens like that. He was in great form and it was his day.
“Yes, we had a big chance, but there are other big chances to come. We are ready to go into the top four and are confident,” he stated.
Mertesacker had a slow start to his time in England, but feels his form has improved and is glad to have the chance to play in the Premier League.
“I am very happy to be here and to get this opportunity to build myself up.
“It is more physical, maybe not as technical as the Bundesliga, but the speed is much harder.
“This is the best league in the world, therefore you have to improve your game, but the important thing is to show you can deal with it,” he concluded.
