Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny has revealed that manager Arsene Wenger has told him to shoot less and be an intelligent player.
The Egypt international was speaking to Arsenal Magazine and quoted by KingFut.com saying he used to shoot more whilst at FC Basel.
However, the French manager turned him into a team player and told him to be intelligent in how he shoots the ball.
“I used to shoot a lot when I was at Basel but sometimes that doesn’t suit our style here. [Wenger] taught me to be more of a team player and to be intelligent in terms of when I shoot,” Elneny said.
“I also paid attention to my teammates and took their advice. That has helped me to improve my performances already.
“The most important thing for me has been listening to Arsene Wenger’s advice and putting it into action.
“The manager has been giving me advice since the first day I arrived at the training ground.
“He’s also helped me to understand the system and playing style he prefers to see us playing.”
Regarding his ambitions, the Pharaohs midfielder said that he joined the Gunners with an ambition to win trophies adding that they will fight for the EPL title next season after missing out on league glory this term.
“If it’s not meant to be this season, we need to work hard and fight to win the title next year,” adds the 23-year-old.
“Personally I am here to help Arsenal win trophies. We want to make the fans happy and bring back the golden times.”
The fourth-placed Gunners are set to face Norwich City on Saturday, 30 May, at the Emirates Stadium
