Mikel Arteta has praised Gabriel Jesus for bringing “belief” and “energy” to Arsenal as the forward shone in victory at Sevilla esports
Jesus continued his love affair with the Champions League with a fine goal and assist double as the Gunners won 2-1 at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium esports
A piece of magic set up compatriot Gabriel Martinelli to open the scoring on the stroke of half-time before Jesus doubled the lead with a fine, curling finish of his own – although he later limped off having moments earlier held his hamstring esports
The Brazil forward may not boast the most prolific strike record but he has now scored an impressive 23 goals in 41 appearances in Europe’s elite club competition esports
Asked if Jesus had been signed from Manchester City because of his prowess in the competition, Arteta replied: “For sure esports
He has been through a lot in the last few years and he’s still really young esports
“He has enormous experiences – some of them not the nicest but very necessary to be the player that he is today esports
I’m really happy to have him in the team esports
“He came here for a reason esports
I think he changed our world esports
He brought so much belief and energy to that team, he needs to step in in those moments esports
He’s done that esports
That’s when a player becomes accountable for the team esports
“Big games are for big players esports
He needed to produce those moments to win in a stadium like this esports
He’s done it for us in a really big way esports
Then, really sad because he felt something in his hamstring and I’m worried about that esports
“We need those players to win games esports
If you want to play Manchester City, then go to Stamford Bridge, then come here – that’s the level we’re at right now esports
To come here and win, big credit to the boys esports
”Jesus’ night ended as he hobbled off to be replaced by Eddie Nketiah in the latter stages – with Arteta admitting he is concerned for the striker esports
“(I am) really sad because he felt something in his hamstring and I’m worried about that,” he added esports
“He straight away asked to be subbed which is not good news because Gabriel is not a player who does that at all esports
We will have to wait and see in the next few days esports
”The victory saw Arsenal recover from defeat in Lens last time out and was enough to take them to the top of Group B at the halfway stage esports
Arteta’s side will be in a good position to reach the knockout stages if they beat Sevilla in the return game at the Emirates Stadium in a fortnight and the Spaniard was pleased with the reaction to defeat in France esports
“That result against Lens put us in a difficult position and the team had to react,” he said esports
“We are coming from the back of very difficult games where the team has to step in and go against adversity as well with some of the injuries that we picked up to big players esports
“The team is so willing to at least try their best even if we don’t manage to be our best all the time esports

The England players will remember the feeling esports
Look back on the images of that night in Yokohama and see the empty eyes, despair writ large on wounded faces as South Africa celebrated beyond them esports
The Springboks had not just secured World Cup victory but romped to it, an England side coursing with optimism after a stunning semi-final performance against New Zealand left lifeless and limp esports
To some extent, it is a low from which England have never recovered esports
The last four years have exposed deep flaws both within the national team and the game more widely, with talks of an even more radical domestic overhaul esports
The 23 Englishmen involved then were the youngest collective to reach a World Cup final: the promise and potential of that group has been frittered away, Eddie Jones indulged past the point of no return and then sacked with less than a year until this tournament esports
The gamble that the Rugby esports Football Union (RFU) took when disposing of Jones at the end of the autumn last year relied entirely on getting to this point, the union recognising that a relatively friendly draw meant progression to the last four would remain eminently achievable even with a late change of coach esports
Unlike Wales and Australia, who balanced the same equation when making their own regime changes and entered this tournament in a similar state, England have at least given themselves a shot in a semi-final esports
The meticulous Steve Borthwick proved the right man to plot an emergency course esports
Barring a total thrashing on Saturday night, his side have avoided embarrassment, navigating out of the choppy waters of August and through calmer September seas esports

Given the different strata the two sides seem to occupy, it is unsurprisingly that few give them hope against South Africa, but England have fed off an underdog mentality throughout this tournament, insisting they’ve been written off too soon esports
England believe they have the bite to back up that bark esports
“Obviously it was disappointing four years ago,” said wing Elliot Daly, among 13 England matchday squad members in 2019 taking on the Springboks again esports
“But I think the feel around this team is that it’s a very different team to then esports
“Obviously, I had a bit of time out from the squad and, since coming back in, there’s a different feeling within this group esports
We are going to try and harness that esports
We’ve had the last year, two years of planning going into this, to hopefully perform our best on the weekend esports
”To make next week’s showpiece will require a performance at a level above anything they have produced in France so far esports
While South Africa will be wary of a team with little to lose, they are esports better than this England team in virtually every facet, their gameplan more complete and cohesive esports
Keep their heads and a final berth is theirs for the taking esports
‘There’s a heightened sense of awareness, a heightened sense of what needs to be done,’ says lock Maro Itoje (AFP/Getty)The focus, as always with a Springbok side, will be on the majesty of their muscular pack and the extent to which England can match their might both at the set piece and tackling punch esports
But their ability to offer diverse attacking threat can sometimes go overlooked – the backing of Manie Libbok at 10, a baton-waving maestro to Handre Pollard’s ticking metronome esports
This is a complete and very good rugby team forged over five years in Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber’s kiln esports
England, by contrast, are having to do it all in the pressure game esports
Recognising that there is no time to throw all of their irons in the fire, England have focused on what they call their “building blocks” – the set piece, fitness, and a kick pressure game esports
The plan is to physically peak again for this contest, having sagged slightly against Samoa after their pool stage rest week and building back up against Fiji esports
Strong final quarters have been a theme of England’s tournament but there is no doubt that they will need a full 80-minute performance, which the squad admit they have yet to produce, to topple the world champions esports
“The belief is strong in this team,” Steve Borthwick insisted esports
“I sensed that all the way through since I got involved again with the team esports

”In 2019, Siya Kolisi stated that he felt South Africa had beaten England in the World Cup final because of their greater motivation, a sense that they were playing something bigger esports
The Springboks captain has revisited that motif this week but England don’t lack for belief – and insist that, this time, it will be different esports
“There’s definitely a different energy around the place this week in comparison to other big games I’ve played,” articulated Maro Itoje esports
“There’s a different feel esports
There’s a heightened sense of awareness, a heightened sense of what needs to be done esports
“I think people are aware of what’s at stake esports
People are aware of the importance of doing your job, the importance of doing your role within the team esports
There’s not many opportunities to be at this stage or at this level esports
This is an experience for us to take the bull by the horns esports
