Arsenal learn from legendary back four
Kolo Toure revealed last night how Arsenals former legends moulded him and the current back four (Eboue, Senderos and Flamini) into the stalwart defence they are now. Arsenals famous back four who once only conceeded 18 goals throughout a whole season consisted of Tony Adams, Martin Keown, Lee Dixon and Nigel Winterburn. Toure stated "I think that Tony Adams and those players a few years ago were fantastic," "I saw him here and i have learned a few things from him, particularly the way he led the team. I remember how he used to talk to everyboday at the training ground" "He tried to help the young lads and helped me lots. Martin Keown is still at the training ground every day" "After games he will tell me what i did well and what i didnt do well." "We are reall young and we are learning from game to game we defend really well together and i think thats why we are all doing so well"
Toures winning goal at highbury in the first leg of their champions league semi final will be enough to take them to Paris if the young guns keep their 11th Champions League clean sheet for this campaign. But Toure insists that Arsenal won't be looking to defend and states that captain and top goal scorer Theirry Henry can win Arsenal the game with a bare few seconds of his skill. At 25 Kolo Toure is now the senior player at the heart of Arsenals back four maintaining a supreme run of form as Arsenals key centre back.
