Andrey Arshavin is not worrying about heightened expectations this season.
After sparkling performances following his arrival from Zenit St Petersburg last season – including four goals against Liverpool at Anfield – all eyes are on the Russian playmaker in his first full season in English football.His searing start to Premier League life will also have excited his Russian onlookers. But the 28-year-old insists it won’t bother him.
“I’m not thinking of it a lot,” he told the Official Matchday Programme.“ I just look forward to the next game and keep things simple. Of course I’ll try to show my best for the team and the supporters of Arsenal, but we will see.
“On the pitch it’s difficult to play alone! If we play well together as a team it becomes easy to show yourself and operate at your best as an individual.“In Russia, people are thinking more about the upcoming international games to be honest.
“Everybody’s waiting for the Russia v Germany game in October because this should decide who qualifies for the World Cup out of the two of us – although we have to face Wales and Liechtenstein before then.”
